Top Tips for Holiday Wellness

 

Stay on track and kick off the New Year feeling your best!

The holiday season is in full swing and we know it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, run down and stressed. Whether you're attending multiple holiday parties, or trying to find the perfect gifts for your loved ones, the holiday season can be one of the busiest times of the year. This doesn’t leave a lot of time for you to stick to your health and wellness goals. That’s why we’ve shared our top tips for surviving the holiday season so you can start the New Year feeling refreshed and ready for 2022!

Limit Alcohol & Stay Hydrated

With holiday parties and family gatherings, the average American sees a 100% increase in their alcohol consumption between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. The best way to get through the holidays without overdoing it is to stay hydrated and limit your alcohol intake. Hydration has the power to improve your sleep, cognition and mood while keeping your organs functioning properly. To make sure you are getting the cleanest and healthiest water for you and your family, we suggest water filters by Aquasana, known to remove 99% of harmful contaminants including lead, PFOS, chlorine and asbestos.

Practice Mindful Eating

Between work parties, gift exchanges and cookie exchanges, it’s easy to overindulge throughout the holiday season. Holiday food is meant to be enjoyed! But when we overdo it, it can leave you feeling sluggish and off-track with our health goals. Eating your holiday treats mindfully not only leads to better digestion, but increases your awareness of hunger and fullness. So savor the moment and the food! If you overindulge, apply Organic Peppermint Essential Oil to your stomach or apply to your wrist and inhale to help soothe. Peppermint tea is another great option for soothing an upset stomach too!

Our sense of smell is closely linked to memories and certain scents can evoke powerful emotions. There are at least ten thousand odors humans can recognize and everyone has a different sensitivity to fragrances and perceives smells differently. Aromatherapy is the art of using essential oils from plants to improve our physical and psychological well-being.

New Product Neroli Roll-on

Released this summer, enjoy the bright, floral-citrusy-sweet scent of Neroli Essential Oil, pre-diluted and packaged in a handy roll-on bottle. Sourced from the small white flowers of the bitter orange tree, neroli is distinguished from orange blossoms by the method of extraction. Our Organic Neroli Oil is steam distilled.

Introducing New Meditation Blend

May 23, 2022

Our new meditation blend is perfect for adding to a mindfulness practice. Mindfulness, with its roots in Buddhist meditation, is the act of focusing on the present moment rather than over-processing the past or worrying about the future. Meditations that focus on breathing exercises and scanning the body support staying present and can reduce anxiety and depression as well as lower blood pressure and improve sleep.
