December 16th Aromatherapy for the spirit. From essential oils in a diffuser to a simmering stovetop potpourri of apples, cloves, cinnamon and cranberries, scents can really uplift your mood. If you have companion animals, please note that many essential oils can be dangerous but some are safe in the home. If all this seems a little too much, just taking a walk in the woods with deep, conscious inhalations can be restorative.
