Winter Cheer Blend ~ A Cheery Spritz with Witch Hazel!


A Cheery Blend to Brighten the Winter Blues!
{and SO much more!}

One of the many benefits of essential oils is their ability to heal mind, body and spirit.  In the face of January, we need our oils on all levels ~ to strengthen our immunity, brighten our spirits and soothe our wintery dry skin!



I created this blend to be used to freshen and revive the air space around you on bleak and dreary days.  

I added witch hazel for the option treating yourself to a skin restorative during the day!  One quick spritz to your face or neck to wake up and brighten your mood and skin or...

-Improve scars or stretch marks.
-An effective diaper rash spray.
-A natural deoderant in a pinch!
-Soothe and heal bug bites faster.
-Sanitize hands too!



I consider adding Witch Hazel a little stroke of genius, I love it's all purpose properties.  It's right up there with essential oils on my list of must haves!




How to blend your "All Purpose" Winter Cheer...



In a 2oz glass bottle, add essential oils and top the bottle off with Witch Hazel.  By the way, this makes a lovely blend for the diffuser too!  



3 drops Geranium  
balance ~ tissue regenerative ~ anti-bacterial ~ anti-depressant  

6 drops Lavender
tissue restorative ~ calming ~ lessens anxiety ~ anti-microbial

2 drops Wild Orange
anti-depressant ~ digestive ~ emotional balance ~ anti-septic


In Summary...

Witch hazel is one of those simple, natural products that most of us have on hand but we don’t use very often. Well, now that you know how very useful it is, especially in tandem with essential oils, it’s time to bring that bottle out of the cupboard and put it to work!
