✨Winter Wellness Toolbox: Supporting Mental Health Naturally ✨
Winter months can be a beautiful season of coziness and reflection—but let’s be honest, they can also bring challenges to our mental health. Shorter days, colder weather, and the post-holiday blues can all impact our mood and energy. Thankfully, we have tools in our Winter Wellness Toolbox to nurture our mental well-being and create space for peace and joy.
Here are my top tips and Young Living products to support your mental health this winter:
1️⃣ Create a Daily Diffusing Ritual
In our world full of toxic synthetic fragrance, we don’t think of scents as being healing and supportive. But true, unadulterated plant essences like what you get at Young Living impact our mind and emotions in powerful and unique ways! The power of scent is incredible for lifting your mood and calming your mind, and there are olfactory cell receptors in every organ and tissue of your body! Set aside time each day to diffuse oils that promote emotional balance and relaxation. It can have a profound impact on your emotional well-being.
Mood-Boosting Diffuser Blends:
- “Winter Sunshine”: 3 drops Citrus Fresh, 2 drops Bergamot, 2 drops Ylang Ylang
- “Cozy Calm”: 3 drops Lavender, 3 drops Stress Away, 2 drops Cedarwood
- “Grounded Joy”: 3 drops Frankincense, 2 drops Orange, 1 drop Vetiver
2️⃣ Support Healthy Sleep
Good mental health starts with quality sleep. Your body has specialized healing and detoxing systems that only activate during deep sleep! If you aren’t getting good rest, there’s no way you can be functioning at your best. Make sleep a PRIORITY this year! Help your body wind down and prepare for restful nights by using these tools:
- NO SCREENS 1 hour before sleep: Blue light hijacks your circadian rhythm, which helps you fall asleep and wake up rested. The BEST thing you can do is put your phone AWAY at least 1 hour before you go to sleep. If you must look at a screen, wear blue-light blocking glasses so you don’t disrupt your body’s hormonal rhythms!
- ImmuPro: Provides natural melatonin for sleep support and a dose of immune-boosting ingredients. If you are feeling run-down and need a good night’s sleep - pop an ImmuPro before bed.
- Deep Night Essence - this is a new supplement specifically designed to deepen sleep, lengthen your time asleep, and help you sleep faster to get all those good benefits of restful sleep! Can take this daily or as-needed! TIP - do NOT take Deep Night Essence and then spend an hour scrolling your phone! Works best when taken immediately before going to sleep!
- Lavender & Cedarwood Essential Oils: Add a drop to your pillow, rub onto your feet, or diffuse before bed.
- Peace & Calming: Diffuse Peace & Calming about 30 mins before you start to wind down for bed! If you struggle with restless legs, rub Peace & Calming all over your legs at night!
3️⃣ Nourish Your Body with Vital Nutrients
A balanced body helps foster a balanced mind. Proper hydration and nutrition are essential for staying emotionally resilient.
- NingXia Red: Packed with antioxidants to support overall wellness and energy.
- Mineral Essence: Provides trace minerals for cellular health, which are critical for brain function.
- Vitality Drops: Keep hydrated with added electrolytes and a touch of flavor!
4️⃣ Use Oils to Calm Stress and Overwhelm
Stress can feel magnified in the winter, but essential oils can help you find calm in the chaos.
Go-To Oils for Stress Relief:
- Stress Away: Apply to your wrists and neck during overwhelming moments.
- Frankincense: Diffuse during meditation or prayer for grounding and to calm anxious feelings.
- Grounding: Helps your mental state feel grounded and willing to stay and work on solutions instead of escape hard situations.
5️⃣ Move Your Body and Focus Your Mind
Gentle movement and mindfulness practices are essential for mental clarity and emotional health. Pair them with oils for an extra boost.
- Pre-Workout Motivation: Apply Peppermint and or En-R-Gee blend to your wrists for energy before a walk or yoga session.
- Post-Workout Recovery: Use PanAway on tired muscles to keep moving all winter long.
Bonus Tip: Journaling with Oils
Pairing journaling with specific oils can help you release emotions and find gratitude:
- Gratitude Oil Blend: Diffuse while writing down 5 things you’re thankful for.
- Inner Child: Apply over your heart when processing emotions.
- Hope: Add a drop to your diffuser or apply to your wrists when setting intentions for the day.
Winter may bring its challenges, but with the right tools, we can stay strong emotionally and mentally. Remember: It’s okay to take a step back, breathe deeply, and lean into the natural support your oils provide!
✨ Winter Wellness Toolbox: Respiratory Health Essentials ✨
Staying on top of respiratory health is crucial during these chilly months, and thankfully, respiratory support is an area where pure therapeutic grade essential oils really SHINE. Let’s explore the must-haves for supporting clear breathing and soothing comfort, plus simple ways to use them daily.
Top Respiratory Health Products
1️⃣ Raven Essential Oil Blend
- A crisp, refreshing blend of Ravintsara, Eucalyptus Radiata, Peppermint, Wintergreen, and Lemon.
- How to Use:
- Diffuse for a spa-like breathing experience.
- Apply (diluted) to your chest and throat before heading out in cold weather.
- Add to a bowl of hot water, tent with a towel, and inhale deeply for a quick steam.
2️⃣ RC Essential Oil Blend
- A favorite for respiratory support, combining Myrtle, Eucalyptus Globulus, Marjoram, Pine, Lavender, Cypress, and Peppermint.
- How to Use:
- Rub on your chest or back before exercise or outdoor activities.
- Diffuse during the night to encourage clear breathing.
3️⃣ Thieves Chest Rub
- This is a registered OTC product and an amazing toxin-free alternative to the toxic ingredients in storebought Vapo-Rubs. Made with pure essential oils instead of petrochemicals and fake fragrance, this topical rub soothes and comforts during the colder months.
- How to Use:
- Massage over your lungs, throat, or bottoms of feet before bed or anytime for calming relief.
4️⃣ Breathe Again Roll-On
- A convenient roll-on featuring Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Copaiba, and Myrtle oils.
- How to Use:
- Roll onto your chest, throat, or under your nose for quick, targeted support wherever you go.
5️⃣ NingXia Red

- How to Use:
- Drink 2 oz daily for an antioxidant boost to your immune and respiratory systems.
DIY: Respiratory Raindrop Technique
Take your respiratory support to the next level with a Respiratory Raindrop! This is an adaptation of the Raindrop Technique using all your favorite respiratory oils. Applying these oils along the spine not only supports the respiratory system but also promotes relaxation and overall wellness.
How to do it:
- Start with clean hands and gather all of your available respiratory oils. Look in your Seeds of Thyme app or Essential Oils Pocket Reference book if you need ideas!
- Apply a drop or two of each respiratory oil—like Raven, RC, Peppermint, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Breathe Again—along the spine. Use a carrier oil to increase the comfort of the application.
- Use light feathering or massage motions to help the oils absorb.
- Finish with a warm compress over the spine to help the oils penetrate deeply.
You can do this as part of your nightly routine or whenever you feel like your lungs could use some extra love!
Daily Respiratory Routine
🌞 Morning
- Apply RC or Breathe Again Roll-On to your chest and neck before heading out into the chilly air.
🕛 Midday
- Keep the Breathe Again Roll-On handy for quick, on-the-go support.
- Diffuse Raven as you work or go about your day for mid-day respiratory support.
🌙 Evening
- Use Thieves Chest Rub before bed for soothing comfort and peaceful breathing.
- Diffuse RC or Raven to promote a calm, clear environment for restful sleep.
- Treat yourself to a Respiratory Raindrop for deep support and relaxation.
Winter doesn’t have to mean congestion or discomfort. With these essentials, you can keep your respiratory health in tip-top shape all season long!
