My Top Three Seasonal Wellness Tips
At Healing Alternatives, we’re all about harnessing the power of nature to support our health and well-being year-round. As the seasons change, it’s essential to adjust our routines to stay in sync with the natural world. Here are my top three wellness tips for the colder months, paired with some of our favourite products—and the best ways to use them for maximum benefits.
1. Prioritise Rest and Relaxation
Tip: With longer nights, winter is the ideal time to focus on rest and rejuvenation. Prioritising sleep not only boosts physical recovery but also helps manage stress and emotional well-being.
The drop in energy during the colder months is a sign that our bodies need more rest. Establishing a soothing bedtime ritual can make all the difference in achieving deep, restorative sleep.
Product Recommendation: Our Award Winning Sleep Easy Lavender & Clary Sage Bath Salts & Sleep Easy Pillow Spray.
- Best Way to Use: Start your bedtime ritual by adding a generous handful of Sleep Easy Bath Salts to a warm bath while it’s running and then sit back and let the days stresses soak away whilst absorbing the magnesium and 21 other minerals. Our Sleep Easy Pillow Spray is designed to relax your mind and body for better sleep. To use, spray a few pumps directly onto your pillow or bed linens about 10 minutes before you sleep or before hoping into your bath. The lavender and peppermint will create a calming atmosphere, helping you unwind and drift off peacefully.
2. Stay Active and Support Your Body
Tip: It’s easy to let exercise routines slip in colder weather, but staying active is essential for both mental and physical health. Post-exercise, taking care of our muscles is just as important.
During the winter, even gentle movement like walking, stretching, or yoga can boost our mood and immune systems. Afterward, using products that support muscle recovery can keep us energised for the next activity.
Product Recommendation: Mountain Relief Balm
- Best Way to Use: After a workout or a long day on your feet, massage the Mountain Relief Balm into sore or tired muscles. For best results, apply a small amount of balm to the affected areas, using circular motions to increase circulation. Focus on problem spots like shoulders, back, or legs to help reduce inflammation and soothe muscle tension. The blend of CBD and peppermint is designed to provide quick relief and speed up recovery.
3. Nourish Your Skin
Tip: Winter’s cold air and central heating can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving it dry and irritated. Nourishing it with the right care can prevent these seasonal woes.
Skin hydration is crucial in winter, not just for comfort but for maintaining a protective barrier against environmental stressors. A rich, nourishing skincare routine will keep your skin glowing, no matter the season.
Product Recommendation: CBD Face Cream
- Best Way to Use: For soft, hydrated skin, apply CBD Face Cream morning and night. After cleansing, take a small amount of cream and massage it gently into your face and neck using upward strokes. This helps lock in moisture, protects against dryness, and gives your skin a healthy glow. The CBD and antioxidants in the cream also help to combat signs of aging and environmental damage.
As the seasons change, so should your wellness routine. By focusing on restful sleep, regular movement, and nourishing skincare, you can stay balanced and energised all year long. At Healing Alternatives, we craft our products with love and care, ensuring they work in harmony with your body’s needs, no matter the season. If you have any questions about these or any other of our products please reach out to me or one of the other members of the team.
