Aromatherapy for a natural holiday season

What’s better than wishing your loved ones good health for the new year? Treating them (or yourself) to the gift of aromatherapy!

This holiday season we are going with natural gifts that are as pleasant to give as they are to receive!

What is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic approach of healing and taking care of yourself using essential oils. As their name suggests, they are the essence of a plant. They contain an infinite number of active molecules, giving them relaxing, stimulating, antiviral, antifungal, digestive and decongestant properties.

When selected and used properly, the benefits of essential oils are endless!

Simple tips for a natural Christmas

Want your Christmas festivities to be in line with your environmental values? Here are some smart tips for a natural holiday season!

Choose a Christmas tree with a low environmental impact, grown locally and intended for this purpose. Even better, try out a modern wooden tree that can be reused for many years!

Choose low-energy lighting decorations, such as LEDs.

Use newsprint or recycled sheets to wrap your gifts. If you feel adventurous, you can also try out the Japanese “furoshiki” technique of gift wrapping with beautiful fabrics (it takes a bit of practice, but it’s totally worth it!).

Cook organic and/or local foods for your Christmas meals.

Create your own decorations: pine cones, salt dough, fruit… Use your imagination for a unique and eco-friendly home decor!

Recycle and reuse. After the holiday season, take the time to sort between what can be kept and what needs to be discarded.
