As we reach the heart of July winter time is well on underway. The cooler weather brings it's own charm, with crisp mornings, steamy cups of tea and lounging by the fire. But it can also take it's toll, not only our skin, but our immune system also needs a boost, and the lack of direct sunlight can impact our mood.
The good news? Nature has our back.
At Dindi Naturals, we craft products that harness the power of plants to support your body and mind, especially during the cooler months. Here’s how to navigate the winter blues:
Support immunity and boost your mood with essential oils
Essential oils do more than just smell amazing. They can help create a calming, refreshing environment at home or at work and bring a sense of seasonal comfort to your day.
This winter, invite a little nature inside with these gentle aromatic blends to refresh your space, lift your mood and create calming rituals.
Try these winter essentials:
A crisp, purifying blend of lemon myrtle, rosalina, eucalyptus and kunzea. This one’s great for refreshing your home and creating a revitalising atmosphere, perfect for mornings or when you want to clear your head.
Earthy and grounding, this blend of Australian Buddha wood, sandalwood, white cypress and rosewood is designed to support moments of stillness, mindfulness and reflection during busy days.
One of the most grounding oils, Evergreen's rich, forested aroma can help create a peaceful, centering environment. A beautiful companion on quiet evenings, relaxation rituals and your daily wind-down routine.
Make it a ritual
Adding essential oils into your day doesn’t have to be complicated. A few simple practices can make a big difference:
-
Steam inhalation: Add 2 to 3 drops of essential oil to a bowl of steaming water. Drape a towel over your head and breathe in the fragrant steam deeply.
-
Diffuser: Pop a few drops in your diffuser to purify the air and uplift your space.
-
Bath: Add 5 to 7 drops to a cup of milk or a teaspoon of bath oil before adding into warm water.
-
Massage: Dilute a few drops of your chosen essential oil with our Baby Oil as a carrier and massage into tired muscles or areas of tension.
Aromatherapy when you need it most
Some days are just a lot. Stress, headaches, tension - it all adds up. That’s where our on-the-go aromatherapy rollers come in handy.
