The Christmas lights have been switched on and winter has well and truly arrived. But with the seasonal cheer comes the inevitable winter blues and sniffles. Don’t head to the pharmacy to stock up on artificial and ineffective potions just yet: have you considered a natural first aid kit? Base Formula offers a huge range of natural and organic essential oils to keep you happy and healthy this winter, which can make great mood lifters, anti-bacterial room fragrances, decongestants and muscle soothers.

Base Formula’s essential oils are 100% pure and natural, with a huge range of physical and mental benefits and the option to be used in different ways. Depression can be aided with seasonally appropriate frankincense, lemon or thyme oils, and citrus oils in a diffuser can create an upbeat mood, great for banishing the winter blues. Calming lavender can even help to banish Christmas shopping stress.

Resinous essential oils such as benzoin are anti-microbial, keeping the bugs at bay when used to fragrance a room. But if it is too late and you have already caught the dreaded illness it also acts as an effective decongestant when inhaled over a bowl of hot water. The miraculous Benzoin can even boost circulation in cold hands and soothes aching lungs and coughs when used as a chest rub. Aromatherapy with lemon essential oil helps with colds and flus, and eucalyptus and rosemary ease a chesty cough. For muscular aches and pains why not try black pepper, which has been treating aching limbs for over 4,000 years, and aromatic bath salts and foot rubs can also be made from your favourite essential oils for a pampering night when you begin to feel yourself again. Whatever your winter gripes Base Formula is sure to have an essential oil to suit you, and they even offer advice and tips on working with their oils.

Joannah Metcalfe from Base Formula said:

“Prevention is always better than cure. You can keep bugs at bay by diffusing herbal, resinous essential oils which have anti-microbial powers and which also help to stimulate your immune system and body’s defence mechanisms. If you’ve already come down with a cough, cold or flu then we recommend steam inhalations with anti-viral essential oils. Steam inhalation is particularly effective, as the therapeutic oil molecules pass directly over sites of infection and straight into the blood stream via the blood rich lining of the lungs!”

So don’t head to the pharmacy, head to Base Formula to help you enjoy winter: the natural way.
