December is a happy time for many of us, but it can be hard to avoid the feelings of stress and exhaustion that the festive season often brings.
For some of us, the extra stress at the end of the year is due to all of the tasks that urgently need completing before the holidays can start, presents to be purchased, houses to be decorated, and elaborate meals cooked. It’s not all fun and games after all. Essential oils can help.
According to YouGov, a quarter of the UK population finds Christmas a more challenging time than the rest of the year, claiming that it has a moderate (19% of respondents) or severe (7%) negative impact on their mental health. If you are feeling overwhelmed and need some rest and relaxation, luxury natural scent brand volant recommends using essential oils to restore inner balance.
The ancient practice of aromatherapy offers a powerful natural remedy for stress relief, targeting one of our most prominent senses: smell. Our olfactory system is directly connected to the part of the brain that is responsible for emotions which is why scents can evoke moods and memories. Certain essential oils, when diffused using the diffusers from AromaTech throughout spaces in your home, are the ultimate tool for changing up the atmosphere and helping you to achieve a state of bliss.
Lavender
As one of the most popular essential oils, lavender is renowned for its anxiolytic, or anti-anxiety, properties. Lavender oil effectively reduces stress, which makes it an ideal choice for use in diffusers or sprays, and it can even be applied directly to the skin as part of your beauty routine. volant’s Organic Lavender Essential Oil is sourced from lavender grown in Bulgaria. Steam distillation of the flower transforms it into a 100% pure, vegan and natural essential oil with no artificial ingredients.
Bergamot
Produced from the peel of a citrus fruit known as Citrus bergamia, bergamot essential oil is simultaneously soothing and uplifting. According to a 2017 study, patients in the waiting room of a mental health treatment centre experienced a significant mood boost when they inhaled bergamot oil for 15 minutes. The 100% pure, natural and vegan Organic Bergamot Essential Oil by volant is sourced from Italy and is perfect for diffusing throughout your indoor spaces. Pair it with one of volant’s luxurious porcelain aroma diffusers for maximum relaxation.
Relax Oil Blend
Created by volant’s in-house team of essential oils experts, the Relax blend features essential oils of palma rosa, ylang ylang, eucalyptus, and grapefruit. The uniquely crafted blend brings to mind the soothing atmosphere of a tranquil garden for the ultimate relaxation. The scent is both exotic and calming. Use it to reset the mood within your home or promote a state of calm during a meditation session.
