We have spoken a lot about the importance of prioritising your self-care this year and, if you have somehow managed to navigate these trying times and stay zen, then why not treat someone you love to a thoughtful wellbeing gift this Christmas? The helpful elves at ClearO2 HQ have put together our top 5 wellbeing gifts for Christmas…
Essential oil diffuser
Using essential oils in a diffuser is an effective way to improve memory, cognitive function and focus. Many essential oils create a soothing effect when you’re stressed, levelling out your mood which helps you to focus better.
Incense sticks with holder
For aromatherapy without the open flame, go for incense sticks. They’re infused with essential oils that radiate notes of whichever scent you like. The effect of good aromas, generated from incense sticks, has been shown to raise serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is considered a natural mood stabilizer and helps with sleeping, eating, and digestion. Serotonin also helps reduce depression, regulates anxiety and reduces headaches.
Candles
Scented candles can induce calm and help to alleviate symptoms of stress, with the ability to lower cortisol. Certain candles are crafted specifically to activate chemicals in the brain, like serotonin and dopamine, to support a positive mood.
Light therapy lamp
Winter’s mid-afternoon sunsets call for supplemental daylight. With this lamp propped on your desk, they’ll get the energy and mood boost of real rays.
Lavender heat pillow
This pillow is filled with barley and lavender that, when heated in the microwave, releases a lovely therapeutic scent while simultaneously relieving neck and shoulder tension.
Don’t forget that our ClearO2 Supplemental Oxygen is a great way to promote your own wellbeing on a daily basis. This revitalising fine mist spray with aloe vera and lemon oil mixed with pure oxygen can reduce stress, clear brain fog and energise. It is also great for the skin!
