Depression – Seasonal or Not

January 16th, 2023 by

During the winter months many people experience seasonal depression.  This happens when there are not many hours of daylight and often during the day it rains, snows or is generally cloudy and dark.  Some people tend to stay indoors and drink coffee or tea for the caffeine to give them a “boost”.

This time of year can be an emotional roller coaster as we take a look at our life. We spend hours with ourselves after the holidays have worn off, doing a life review of our goals and where we are at.  If that is not a positive thing for you there is a tendency to fall into a depressed state. We do not feel good about ourselves and everything  surrounding us.

When I lived in the Seattle, Washington area for 10 years I learned about depression and the lack of sunlight and how it affects us emotionally.  My citrus essential oils brought me some smiles but it was not long lasting.

I created Reveiller eau de toilette for my boyfriend who suffered from depression from going to work in the dark and driving home in the dark and rain. He actually did not even realize his depressed state but I did.  In the summer he was a different person. Reveiller means “to awaken” and when you spray on this light botanical fragrance you will feel refreshed.

Since that time I have created other fragrances with St. John’s wort and other oils with alchemy to transmute and transform the depression.  Whether the depressed state is seasonal or not. Happy, Liquid Sunshine, Josephine, Radiance are other natural perfumes that will support you if you desire.

You do not need to suffer through this time… you do not need to go to bed early and sleep through the misery of it.  Allow the natural perfumes to help uplift you and shift your energy.
