How to have a relaxing Christmas

With Christmas only four weeks to go, I am sure that you are meeting yourself coming back and becoming frazzled in the process but really is this the type of Christmas that you want? I didnt think so. Christmas can be a simple time really, most people, guests and children just want a happy time, eating good tasty healthy food, watching Christmas movies under a blanket and presents too.

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, try this Box Breathing exercise to slow down your breathing. When you are stressed you shallow breathe, this tightens your diaphragm building up the pressure. Stop and try this exercise.

This year has been tough for many people, if you are struggling to feel Christmassy, thats absolutely fine. You do not have to pretend to feel festive, maybe next year you will. So here is my suggestion to help you

If you struggling with a cold, try using Helpmeorganics “help me, im feeling under the weather” products, made with antibacterial, antiviral, antiseptic and anti microbial tea tree, peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender and tangerine. Available in a candle, massage oil, oil blend, room spray, reed diffuser and wax melts, the scent will clear your head, open your sinuses and help you breathe easier.

Perfect gift for anyone who is poorly

Christmas is a time of beautiful scents, I am an aromatherapist so spend my time surrounded by scents, I would strongly recommend Helpmeorganics “help me say hello to winter”. Organic essential oils of fir needle, clove, lemon, ginger and sweet orange will diffuse around your home. Place an aromastone on the radiator in the hallway to create a wonderful warm welcome for visitors and you too!

I wish you a Happy Christmas and that 2025 will bring you lots of fun, laughter and adventures. Thank you for coming for treatments, buying my products and for being so lovely all year. Linda xx

Winter Wellness

With the weather turning colder, much colder, your immune system can become weaker and more prone to viruses but follow our tips to help boost your body and calm your mind so you can enjoy everything winter has to offer.

available from www.helpmeorganics.com or pop into our shop

By using antibacterial essential oils within your home and workplace, you are creating a healthy barrier against winter’s cold viruses. Eating certain foods also helps

  • Berries are rich in vitamin C and K, rich in fibre, magnesium, and potassium and are prebiotics which is good for your digestive system
  • Leafy greens are full of vitamins and minerals, they are also a rich source of phytonutrients. This means that they are rich in nutrients to boost your immunity.
  • it is recommended that we eat a rainbow every day to ensure that we have the complete range of vitamins and minerals to feed our body.
  • If you eat meat, oily fish is extremely rich in omega 3. Turkey has vitamins B6, B12, and niacin, and choline, very important nutrients for your brain function
  • If you are a vegetarian or vegan, nuts and seeds contain nutrient-rich vitamins. B12 is very tricky to include in your diet, it is recommended to take a supplement.
Eat to stay well this winter

During the winter our mood can lower due to the shorter days and longer nights, there are many actions you can take to improve this

  • Get outside every day in the daylight, you will be absorbing vitamin D which is believed to help with SAD.
  • Make sure you are active. Your lymph is pumped around your body by movement and breathing so get moving, go for a walk, dance, garden, cycle. The more you move the better your lymphatic system will be. After dancing, you always feel uplifted so shimmy to the kettle every day!
  • Body brushing, dry before your shower really helps to improve your circulation and exfoliates at the same time. Always brush lightly towards your heart. Have you seen Helpmeorganics Wellness Therapy Gift Boxes
