Talk about nostalgia… Who doesn’t have layers and layers of pleasant memories tied to the distinct scents of fall? Younger versions of ourselves pioneering wooded pathways… The snapping of twigs beneath our feet… The sharp scent of pine. Stress-free, giggling versions of ourselves bundled up in jackets, rolling around in piles of fresh-raked leaves… The sounds of crisp afternoon winds as they whistle through naked branches.
Essential oils help us to access these happier places in space and in time. Sure, they’re healthy and beneficial in a number of other ways; but there’s something to be said for the way a specific scent can transport you with such precision and immediacy. Can you bring to mind the sticky-sweet memory of going apple picking? You sure can now! Relish the following recipes along with all the pleasant memories they evoke.
And don’t forget - the easiest, most fragrant way to enjoy these recipes is through a diffuser. If you don’t already have one, you need one! Check out the Healing Solutions Ultrasonic Diffuser here.
