With the northeast section of the US stuck in a pattern of clouds and rain, people have been asking me if there are any natural remedies that will lift their spirits.
My suggestion is peppermint, or any member of the mint family.
If you have peppermint essential oil, take a few drops and place them on a tissue, or towel, and just take a few deep breaths. The aroma will lift spirits, and also increases mental alertness.
If you don't have the essential oil, a few leaves of fresh mint will do the job. (You can use any member of the mint family, Peppermint, Spearmint, or Basil all work well.) Sijmply take a few leaves and roll them back and forth in your hands a few times, until the leaves are bruised and you can smell the mint. A few deep breaths, and you are on your way to feeling better.
This will not work if you are deeply depressed. In that case, please consult with a medical professional, who can recommend the best way for you to recover.
