Spring is here! The excitement of newness and growth permeates us as we move forward into the light. Clear out the past and be open to the new. All is restored with life at the beginning of Spring. 

In Chinese medicine, Spring corresponds to the Wood element. You may be feeling more anger or impatience at this time of year. Channel this energy into making positive changes in your life.

Spring begins on March 21st, the time of the Vernal Equinox when day and night are equal. It's a great time to make a new start. Take action and go forward in the world. Let those dreams blossom.


A Few Spring Health Tips:

~ Take daily walks. 
~ Drink lemon water, especially in the morning.

~ Express yourself in a healthy way. Don't suppress your emotions.
~ Eat fresh greens. Dandelion, nettles, parsley, and watercress are especially beneficial.
~ Try exfoliation and dry body brushing. These practices stimulate lymph and blood circulation, remove dead skin cells, and enhance immunity.


A few of my favorite essential oils for Spring:

  • Bay Laurel ~ Relieves stagnancy and congestion that builds up over the winter. Supports the lymphatic system and eases aches and pains. 
  • Cedar - Gives physical energy and endurance. Leaves you feeling grounded, supported, and prepared. The name cedrus originates from the Arabic word, kedron, meaning "power."
  • Clary Sage ~ Imbues an alive, vibrant feeling after a long, cold winter. 
  • Eucalyptus ~ Decongests, opens breathing, supports immunity.
  • Geranium ~ Promotes a sense of well being and self worth. Balances emotions.
  • Grapefruit ~ Inspiring and fresh. Eases feelings of tension and frustration.
  • Jasmine ~ Euphoric and sensual. Reawakens passion.
  • Lemon ~ Brightens moods, encourages trust and clarity. Anti-infectious.
  • Rosemary ~ Improves mental alertness and concentration. Refreshes the spirit.
  • Sweet Orange ~ "Brings in the sunshine." Emotionally uplifting and joyful.
