Be easier on yourself. Lean into it. 🍂🍁
😴Feeling sleepy?
Reduced daylight during fall disrupts our circadian rhythms, leading to increased melatonin production.
-Natural support: Get exposure to morning sunlight, maintain regular sleep/wake schedule and bedtime routine, exercise in the morning.
🪫Low energy?
Limited exposure to sunlight decreases vitamin D production and serotonin levels, both of which are linked to energy and mood.
-Natural support: Get outside, keep hydrated, use stimulating essential oils like peppermint, rosemary and lemon for energy boost.
💇♀️Hair loss?
Studies have shown that women lose the most hair during autumn months.
-Natural support:
Rosemary essential oil, castor, argan oil in scalp massage, sleeping on silk pillow case, diets rich in iron, zinc, vitamin D and B, reduce stress
🧴Dry, irritated skin?
As temperature and humidity decrease in the fall, the skin loses moisture more quickly leading to reduced sebum production.
Natural support: increasing water intake, humidifiers, facial steam baths, jojoba, rosehip oil, shea butter, lavender, helichrysum, managing stress
😖Aches and stiffness?
Lower temperatures can cause muscles and joints to tighten, leading to stiffness or increased sensitivity to pain, especially in people with arthritis or chronic conditions.
Natural support: Epsom salt baths, heating pads, aromatherapy massage oils with warming oil such as frankincense, ginger and black pepper
🧘Seeking stillness and reflection?
The slower pace of fall aligns with nature’s rhythms, encouraging introspection and a focus on rest and renewal. This can be an opportunity to embrace quiet moments for self-care and emotional balance.
Do you notice you experience some of these in the fall season?
