Autumn and Winter are filled with evocative aromas that bring back pleasant memories for many of…hearty meals, baked goodies, childhood fun, jumping in piles of leaves, camping in the woods, mountain vacations, bundling up in warm clothing, and the season of year end holidays ~ Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa. Many of those familiar aromas are found in therapeutic, steam-distilled, essential oils! In addition to being delightful to smell, they also bolster and protect our immune systems for the predictable, but less welcome, colds and flu season.
