What is a warm essential oil?

An essential oil is called "warm" when it invigorates blood and lymphatic microcirculation, while providing a diffused warm feeling when applied. This type of oil is perfect for a warming rub after an outdoor activity or during a cold spell. Here are four essential oils to warm you up:

 

• Balsam Fir

Nothing beats the gentle warmth of Balsam Fir essential oil to relieve sore muscles after any winter sport. An emblematic coniferous tree of Québec forests, balsam fir is also the most popular Christmas tree. Its woody and slightly spicy fragrance brings instant well-being.

 

• Cedar

Peace and relaxation have a best friend: Cedar essential oil. Ancient texts refer to the spiritual attributes of cedar essential oil, and its soft and subtly woody aroma promotes blissful quiescence, making it the ideal essential oil for meditation.

 

• Cinnamon

Cinnamon essential oil has been used since the 5th century BC. Its sweet, warm aroma is most comforting. As cinnamon is often used in cooking, its fragrance sometimes bring us back to our childhood's favourite dishes.

 

• Orange

Orange essential oil is a true spirit booster guaranteed to brighten up any gray and cold day! Plus, its soothing action will help you fall asleep. And its sweet, fruity bouquet is nothing short of irresistible!

 

How to use warm essential oils?

The benefits of warm essential oils can be obtained by their different uses. Here’s how you can enjoy their warmth:

 

• Diffusion in the air

When using an essential oil diffuser, you need to choose one that doesn’t generate too much heat to avoid altering the aromatic properties of the selected oils. LOTUS AROMA’s new Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser is ideal because it produces cool steam. It’s also very easy to use: you simply need to fill it with water and add 5 to 10 drops of your favourite essential oil. It’s perfect for creating a warm atmosphere in your home!

 

• Dry inhalation

Using essential oils by dry inhalation is very simple, and you can do it virtually anywhere. You simply need to add a few drops of your selected oil on a clean tissue and deeply inhale the warm aromas for a couple of minutes. It’s an excellent stress-busting technique!

 

• Transcutaneously use (massage or bath)

Baths and massages are known to bring warmth and comfort in winter. However, be careful not to add pure essential oils directly on your skin or into your bathwater because they can cause irritation. You can use them safely by diluting them in an unscented product, like a massage oil or a bath and body wash.
