Winter depression is very real. As this holiday season approaches, some see it as the most wonderful time of year while others dread it.

According to Psychology Today, Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of recurrent major depressive disorder in which episodes of depression occur during the same season each year. This condition is sometimes called the “winter blues.”

Luckily with research on sensory engagement impacting moods, The Mood Factory has created a line of products that will help boost moods this winter.

The formulations are based on their white paper, expert advisors, and extensive research, and supporting the moodstates of Tranquility, Serenity, Happiness, and Energy. Each of these essential oil blends are then infused into consumer products, like bath bombs, scent sticks, massage oils, shower steamers, and body butters.

Here are some products you will love:

Mood-Happiness™ Mood-Steamers™: Engage your senses in the shower with fizzing Happiness Mood-steamers, a unique aromatherapy product designed to add aroma to your morning with your shower steam. The Happiness Mood-steamer is an uplifting blend of lemon, bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit and lime, based on research on how scents impact moods, to help raise your spirits as you start or end your day.

To use this product, place one onto the bottom of your shower for a complete aromatherapy experience. Repeat as often as possible. Combine with other Mood Factory products for the ultimate sensory engaging experience.

Mood-Happiness™ Mood–Stick™: Mood–sticks serve as a quick pick-me-up after it is applied to sensory points on your body. Mood–sticks are essential oils, not the strong perfumery kind of scents, and they keep the scent where they belong – on you.

This sensory product has an uplifting blend of lemon, bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit and lime sure to stimulate your senses. To use, slowly inhale directly from the applicator or apply the stick on your palms or right below your nose. Take a deep inhale, embrace the uplifting notes as they travel through your nose, and remind yourself of the benefit of presence throughout the day.
