Best Christmas Essential Oils: A Guide for Holiday Wellness

Christmas time is a special time of year. It's a time for family, friends and celebration. And it's also the perfect opportunity to get in all those festive scents that make us feel so warm and cozy. Here are some of the best essential oils for Christmas that will fill your home with cheer this holiday season!

How to Use Essential Oils for Holidays

1. Frankincense Essential Oil

The holidays can be stressful and chaotic, let the pleasant aroma of this precious oil comfort you and support you in your time of need. Produced by steam distillation of the tree resin, frankincense is beloved during Christmas.

According to the Biblical text of Matthew 2:11, gold, frankincense, and myrrh were among the gifts to Jesus by the biblical magi "from out of the East."

  • Supports the skin through seasonal changes
  • Calming and rejuvenating properties
  • Alleviates sadness and aids in relaxation

2. Fir Essential Oil

There are several fir oils... White Fir (aka Silver Fir), Douglas Fir, Siberian Fir, Fir Balsam, and Fir Needle. One reason I love fir oils is because of the Christmas tree aroma they offer.

  • Releases congestion and inspires easy breathing
  • Fights fatigue while stimulating the senses
  • Soothes tired muscles and relieves inflammation

3. Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Fruity essential oils are really fabulous and sweet orange is a close tie to tangerine for me. It reminds me of freshly peeled citrus and can always bring a smile to my face. Let it keep your spirit high during the busiest time of the year.

  • Uplifts mood and relieves tension
  • Aids in the proper functioning of digestion
  • Calming action on the nervous system

4. Clove Essential Oil

Clove is a powerful and strong oil, where a drop or two really goes a long way. Its scent can convey a warm and sincere feeling. It is also a very powerful antioxidant.

  • Great for combating seasonal threats
  • Anti-inflammatory and local anesthetic actions (especially toothaches)
  • Creates a feeling of protection and courage

5. Copaiba Essential Oil

Copaiba oil is considered to be a nervous system tonic. This just means that it is calm  and balance emotions and mood. It is also a favorite when it comes to pain and inflammation.

  • Helps soothe anxious feelings
  • Promotes clear, smooth skin while reducing the appearance of blemishes
  • Strong anti-inflammatory property (high sesquiterpene content)

6. Eucalyptus Essential Oil

This is a well known respiratory supportive essential oil, plus it is an immune system stimulant. This is my go to oil when I have a stuffy nose or cold. I love the medicinal aroma that eucalyptus offers. There are various types that you can use, E. radiata, E. globulus, E. citriodara, E. dives, E. smitthi.

  • Increases alertness and blood circulations (stimulant and rubefacient properties)
  • Assists with phlegm, congestion, and mucus (anticatarrhal)
  • Deodorizes the home and inspires deep breathing

7. Juniper Berry Oil

Juniper comes from the fruit of the evergreen tree, a berry-like cone that is highly aromatic. The aroma is reminiscent of a walk through the forest.

  • Reduces emotional and physical stress
  • Relieve pain and inflammation (great for arthritis)
  • Use as a digestive aid and to help control emotional food cravings

8. Cedarwood Essential Oil

This woody tree oil is another favorite to have this time of year, especially when it comes to respiratory aliments. Inhale during the cold and flu season to keep nasty germs at bay. It is also known for helping you get a  getting a good nights sleep.

  • Soothing effects on the nervous system
  • Aids in the reduction of mucus (mucolytic and expectorant properties)
  • Supports respiratory and immune health

So many oils, so little time. Some other favorites to use during December and Christmastime are myrrh, nutmeg, peppermint, and cinnamon bark or leaf.
