Spoiler Alert: Are you as excited as I am about the holidays? Maybe your house already smells of holiday cheer for family and friends? Have you thought about non-toxic scents for the season; ie: holiday essential oils? Terrific scents for the holiday season can completely transform your family’s holiday experience; scent is well known to be a strong trigger for both creating and recalling memories. So let Christmas essential oils do the trick – diffuse the scent of Christmas trees with Pine or Northern Lights Black Spruce and enhance the heavenly scents of the holiday. Use one of my diffuser recipes – that I’ll give to you here – or create your own essential oil diffuser blends!
Why Bother With Christmas Essential Oil?
The sense of smell is closely linked with memory, probably more so than any of our other senses. Those with full olfactory function may be able to think of smells that evoke particular memories; the scent of an orchard in blossom conjuring up recollections of a childhood picnic, for example. This can often happen spontaneously, with a smell acting as a trigger in recalling a long-forgotten event or experience. In addition to being the sense most closely linked to memory, smell is also highly emotive. The perfume industry is built around this connection, with perfumers developing fragrances that seek to convey a vast array of emotions and feelings; from desire to power, vitality to relaxation.

Essential oils over the holidays are terrific if you don’t want to be in the kitchen (or even if you don’t belong in the kitchen!) but you want your home to smell like you’ve been toiling away for days! Even if you have everything prepared ahead of time and just toss it in the oven or on the table when it’s time – there’s just something about having that fresh baked aroma floating through the house. And certain aromas just bring to mind baking during cold weather. My favorite essential oils for this feeling are: Orange, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Ginger, Nutmeg, and Sage.
