Winter Essentials

For most, oils that invoke the most nostalgia when it comes to winter include Clove, Cinnamon Bark (or Cassia), Peppermint, Frankincense, Eucalyptus, Douglas Fir, and Siberian Fir.

Others that may inspire you may include Cedar, Wintergreen, our Breathe Respiratory Blend, our line of On Guard Protective Blend products, and our amazing Active Botanical Nutritive Duo, Yarrow|Pom!

Everyone has a different take on what ails and interests them during winter, and thus, everyone’s top choice of oils differs!

Today, we’ll discuss the most popular choices in which you’re more than welcome to change or tailor it to your desires! Ready to get started?



IMMUNE BOOSTER

If you’re looking for a naturally delicious immune boost, you MUST try mixing one drop of Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint oils in a glass of filtered water every morning!

The Lemon supports healthy respiratory function*, while Lavender (when taken internally) can reduce anxious feelings and promote a peaceful sleep* and Peppermint (when ingested) can promote healthy respiratory function and clear breathing*.

HYDRATING

If you’re exhausted from layering yourself with globs of lotion and moisturizer just to have it wash off in a few minutes, you’re not alone!

In fact, Seasonal Affective Disorder (a very real problem) is only worsened with a seemingly endless bout of winter’s dry skin.

Thankfully, the doTERRA Spa Hydrating Body Mist is formulated to improve the overall appearance of healthy-looking and radiant skin.

Simply mist over your entire body after bathing or anytime for an uplifting boost of long-lasting hydration!

Are you ready to enjoy the aromatic benefits of our Beautiful Captivating essential oil blend combined with the nourishing properties of coconut, sunflower, avocado, and passion fruit?

YARROW PALM

I’m beside myself with this post, and I have a feeling you will be, too!

ON GUARD MOUTHWASH

Kissing… bad breath… hugs… close contact with loved ones… do you see where I am going with this?

DEEP BLUE 

Sore muscles seem to be synonymous with winter. If you agree, you’ll appreciate doTERRA’s Deep Blue line.

Specifically formulated to soothe and cool with the help of Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Ylang Ylang, Helichrysum, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, and Osmanthus, doTERRA Deep Blue Soothing Blend is perfect for a massage after a long winter’s day or an intense play in the snow.

Who’s ready to say goodbye to sore muscles and hello to the minty, camphoraceous, and soothing sensation of Deep Blue?

Cinnamon Bark and Cassia

Cinnamon Bark and Cassia are wildly popular at this time of year!

Extracted from bark, Cinnamon oil supports healthy metabolic function and helps maintain a healthy immune system, especially when seasonal threats are high.* Cinnamon is frequently used in mouth rinses and gums and has a long history of culinary uses, adding spice to desserts, entrees, and even hot drinks!

A close relation to Cinnamon, Cassia has been used for thousands of years for its many health benefits. (Did you know it's one of the few essential oils mentioned in the Old Testament, noted for its unmistakable fragrance and calming aromatic properties?)

It also is a great oil to diffuse during cold months due to its warming properties and spicy scent. Plus, Cassia can be used in cooking either as a replacement for cinnamon in pies and bread or by itself in a myriad of entrees and desserts!

While they are extremely similar, they also each have their own benefits. What would you like to learn more about, Cinnamon Bark, Cassia, or both?
