Aromatherapy involves using essential oils from herbs, flowers, and stems of trees that
provide amazing scents and healing powers at the same time. By inhaling the aroma of
these oils, you are able to stimulate brain function, relax your body and mind, and
benefit in a number of ways. Here are some ways to use seasonal scents and blends
for aromatherapy.

Peppermint
In terms of what scents you can use for aromatherapy, there are a wide range of ones
to choose from. For seasonal scents in the holidays and winter season, it doesn?t get
much better than peppermint. This not only works for those scents that smell like candy
canes and peppermint treats, but it can be combined with certain spices and woody
scents to create an entire holiday experience. Plus, peppermint has a wide range of
health benefits when used with aromatherapy, from helping you sleep to providing more
energy.
Woody Scents
When you want to try aromatherapy with essential oils, but also have them more
seasonal, then you should also look to the woody scents. These are going to smell just
like you are walking through a forest in the winter or a Christmas tree farm. There are
quite a few different woody scents available, including fir, cypress, cedarwood, and
sandalwood. You can use these woody scents alone, blend with spicy or fruity scents,
or get them already in seasonal blends.
Spicy Scents
Another aroma family that contains a lot of amazing scents for seasonal aromatherapy
is your spicy aroma family. These scents smell just like herb spices you might use for
seasonal cooking. For the holidays, try cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. These can be
added to other scents to create your own seasonal blend, or you can use them
individually if you just really enjoy the spices on their own.

Ylang Ylang
While this might not seem like a seasonal scent, it actually has a great place with your
seasonal aromatherapy. Ylang ylang is one of the oldest medicinal essential oils, which
is a type of floral aroma. It is extracted through a steam distillation process from tropical
trees. The oil smells fragrant like flowers, but it is also great to combine with other
seasonal scents, including woody and earthy scents. It helps with a wide range of
things, including skin conditions, hair growth, and high blood pressure.
