Cabin Fever?

Christmastime may come once a year, but cabin fever can set it at any time of year. You are more susceptible during the holidays due to cramped schedules, family obligations, financial restrictions, snow, ice, cold weather, etc.

Cabin fever is often described as a restlessness or irritability that comes with long periods of remaining indoors – particularly during the winter. It can also become a hysteria – though, most people don’t encounter this extreme a feeling.

Some of the oily things you can do to improve your cabin fever is to invigorate oneself with fresh scents. Young Living has a fabulous supply of citrus oils that really evoke and affect attitude, mentality, and emotions. My favorite this winter has been Lime – which can be found at this link. https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/lime-essential-oil . It comes in a 15ml bottle, and is extremely aromatic. The scent promoted my focus and aided in clarity of mind.

What’s even more fabulous is you can use lime oil in many edibles such as salad dressing, beverages, and more. Lime has been thought to promote health and wellness for a long time. The antioxidants can improve skin, plus there are antiseptic, antiviral, and astringent properties that cannot be ignored. The benefits of the fruit have been known for a long time – hence it’s popular use, particularly in drinks.

Lime also blends especially well with other oils. You can buy blends directly from Young Living, create your own blends, or use recipes. Lime goes very well with delicate flower scents like Ylang-Ylang. But, experiment a bit and come up with what you find really special! For example, I like to diffuse my lime purely by itself, but when creating a bath salt soak or another homemade goodie, I find blending it with other oils to be very successful.

What oils and blends do you use to help get rid of cabin-fever?
