With shorter days and cooler weather, some of us might feel a bit sad, and may suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which can influence mood and energy levels. So as you transition into autumn, it’s the perfect time to prioritise our well-being.

This can feel challenging and frustrating, but aromatherapy provides an effective, gentle and natural way to support your mental and emotional health during this time.

Essential oils such as lavender, bergamot, and cedarwood are particularly beneficial during this time.

Lavender helps soothe and relax, bergamot can lift your spirits, and cedarwood offers a comforting sense of warmth. Incorporating these oils into your daily routine can make a real difference.

Tips to brighten your autumn:

• Diffuse oils: Add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to a diffuser to fill your space with uplifting aromas.
• Create a soothing bath: Mix 6 drops of essential oil with 10ml of carrier oil and add to your bath for a relaxing and mood-boosting experience.
• Use in skincare: Blend 1-2 drops with your daily moisturiser to enjoy the benefits throughout the day.

You don’t have to face the changing season alone. Our Autumn Blends – Golden for September, Harvest for October, and Ember for November – are designed to help you embrace autumn positively. Find out more here: Seasons of Aromatherapy
