My Favorite Essential Oils for the Holidays and Diffuser Blend Recipes

by Ann Hutyra, Certified Gluten Practitioner and Lead Biological Health Coach

To me, nothing smells better than freshly baked gingerbread cookies or cinnamon rolls coming out of the oven on a cold December morning. But how often do I get the opportunity to make those from scratch? Not often! So when I want my home to smell like I just spent all day baking, without the hassle – I take out my essential oils.  I love using essential oils all year round especially during the holiday season. Not only do they smell wonderful, but there are some pretty amazing benefits to this season’s favorite oils. Check out my favorite winter oils below, as well as some ways you can use them this holiday season. It’s always recommended to use high-quality essential oils, and not your cheap drugstore brands, which can be full of toxic chemicals. Here at MHH, we love Doterra brand oils! I hope you enjoy these essential oil blends as much as I do. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season! Cinnamon – The use of cinnamon can be traced back to biblical times and was used heavily by the ancient Egyptians. Cinnamon can be used internally to help balance blood sugar, as immune support during cold and flu season, and for your oral health. Clove – Clove is a powerful antioxidant! You can apply to the bottoms of your feet for liver and brain support, dilute and apply over the thyroid to support metabolism or apply along your spine to help fight off a cold or virus. White Fir – White fir was often used by the Native Americans to treat respiratory problems. Diffusing white fir can help with chest congestion, it also helps fight airborne germs, and naturally helps with stress and brain fog. Douglas Fir – Douglas Fir is considered the classic Christmas tree in North America. Applying Douglas Fir oil to the throat and chest can help alleviate a cough, massaging into the skin can help with muscle and joint pain, and applying to your temples can help you relax and ground. Frankincense – Nearly all ancient religions have used frankincense in their spiritual practices. Naturally, frankincense is wonderful to diffuse during prayer, meditation, or while trying to focus. Combined with myrrh, it’s wonderful for scars and stretch marks, and diffusing can help ease depression symptoms. Peppermint – peppermint can be a great natural stimulant! Diffuse when you’re working or studying to stay focused, or at your family Christmas party to lighten the mood. Peppermint can also help with sugar cravings and is a natural mood enhancer.
