Natural Ways to Support Your Health During the Winter Cold & Flu Season

Winter often brings more than just cozy nights and hot drinks - it also signals the start of cold and flu season. As the temperature drops, our immune systems can be more vulnerable, making it essential to support our bodies with natural, effective remedies. From time-tested wellness habits to powerful plant-based products, here are some simple, holistic ways to feel better, breathe easier and stay well this season.

🌿 1. Use Essential Oils to Support Sinus Relief & Respiratory Comfort

Essential oils like Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Menthol and Lavender have long been used to support respiratory wellness.

• Eucalyptus Oil is a natural decongestant that may help open nasal airways and reduce sinus pressure.

• Peppermint Oil contains menthol, which offers a cooling effect that can help relieve headaches, stuffiness, and fatigue.

• Lavender Oil supports calm, better sleep and has antimicrobial properties.

• Lemon Oil is known for its purifying, mood-boosting qualities and may assist in cleansing the air.

💧Try This:

• Breathe Easy Shower Steamers – Infused with Eucalyptus, Peppermint & Menthol to open airways and clear congestion.

• Lavender & Peppermint Shower Steamers– Perfect for calming the nervous system while supporting easier breathing.

• Eucalyptus & Lemon Room Spray– Naturally antibacterial and uplifting, perfect for purifying your space.

• Lavender, Peppermint & Menthol Room Spray– A crisp herbal blend to clear the mind, soothe sinuses, and freshen the air.

💦 2. Take Warm Showers with Aromatherapy Steam

A warm shower does more than relax your muscles - the steam can help hydrate dry sinuses and soothe irritated respiratory passages. When paired with essential oils, this ritual becomes a potent, natural cold-season remedy.

✔️ Shower Steamers activate with water to release therapeutic vapours - no bath required.
✔️ Menthol vapour can help reduce nasal congestion and support clearer breathing.

🌿 Our Picks:

• Lavender & Peppermint Steamer – For restful sleep and tension relief.

• Eucalyptus & Menthol Steamer – Your go-to for head colds, blocked sinuses and a midday boost.

🛏️ 3. Prioritise Sleep & Reduce Stress

Your immune system functions best when you’re well-rested and not stressed. Creating a calm night-time environment is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to support your health.

🛏 Use calming essential oils like Lavender and Ylang Ylang to signal rest to your nervous system.
💤 Turn off screens early, keep your space cool, and use aromatherapy to wind down.

🌙 Recommended Product:

• Lavender & Ylang Ylang Room Spray – A soothing floral blend that helps create a peaceful, sleep-friendly environment. Spritz on your pillow, linen or bedroom air before bed.

🧼 4. Freshen Your Air — Naturally

During colder months, we spend more time indoors with closed windows, which can cause stale air and increase the spread of germs. Natural room sprays made with essential oils and plant-based ingredients offer a safe, non-toxic way to cleanse the air.

🌀 Benefits of Natural Room Sprays:

• Provide antibacterial and antiviral support depending on the oils used

• Refresh stagnant indoor air

• Uplift mood and support clarity

♻️ All our sprays are housed in amber glass bottles to preserve the quality of the oils and reduce plastic waste - because your health and the planet matter.

🍋 5. Boost Your Wellness with Daily Rituals

Aromatherapy isn’t just for when you’re unwell. Creating daily routines with essential oils and clean, non-toxic products can help keep you feeling your best all season long.

✔️ Start your day with an energising spritz of Peppermint & Eucalyptus Spray
✔️ Keep a Menthol-based steamer on hand for low-energy afternoons
✔️ Use Lavender blends in the evening to unwind and reset
