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.

In the winter season especially in cold climates there are a lot of gray, dreary, rainy days that are very depressing. Some people just want to go back to bed.  With cooler temperatures and going to work in the dark and getting home in the dark when the sun sets at 5:00 pm it seems like you never see the light of day.  There is a condition called SAD – Seasonal affective disorder occurs in climates where there is less sunlight at certain times of the year. Symptoms include fatigue, depression, hopelessness, and social withdrawal.

Depression of any kind can lead to thoughts of suicide.  If a person feels that there is no longer anything to live for after loosing a loved one, loosing a job or other loss it may escalate to suicide.

The last few years many people have expressed hardship, loss on many levels.  Quarantine made many of us lonely, sad, and we were left to sit with our feelings. The chaos of the world and the stress of the unknown have done major damage in some lives. The virus and threat of losing our freedoms with the need of Health Passports and other controls by the government may be the final straw for some.

I have received many perfume orders for my cheerful fragrances such as Liquid Sunshine, Happy, Kiss of Gentleness,  Radiance  and others. When I lived in the Seattle area for 10 years we were experiencing record rainfall. It was very depressing with gray skies and mist or rain most of the time.  I created Reveiller eau de toilette with St. John’s Wort that is used for depression.  It helped some of my friends at the time.  If you are experiencing any of the symptons like fatigue and social withdrawl get help.  Try some natural perfumes to spray on that are encoded with higher vibrations like peace love and joy.

This is a photo of Vintage 2001  St. John’s Wort hydro distilled essential oils from the Himalayas. The regular steam distilled essential oil is no where as near as potent as this oil.

It is a beautiful essential oil that is used often for depression.  A person can be mildly depressed or have chronic depression.  When I was doing many aromatherapy consultations I have discovered people can be depressed living in Southern California near the beach…in full sun.  It is a state of mind.  There are many people affected with SAD – the lack of light syndrome people get in the long grey winter months.  Many people living in the Seattle area suffer from depression from all of the rain and dark days. They often commit suicide as they cannot take it.
