Winter Checklist: Must-Haves As We Prepare for the Cold
Like it or not, winter is creeping in. While we can’t hit pause on the seasons, we can prepare. The key? Stocking up on wholesome, comforting, and immune-supporting staples that make the colder months just a little easier.
At AOP, we’ve created a Winter Checklist with must-haves designed to warm you from the inside out—naturally.
🧊 1. Create a Comfort Zone with Essential Oils & a Diffuser
A good diffuser does more than scent your space—it becomes a cold-season companion. Opt for oils that clear the air and support immunity:
-
Eucalyptus and Peppermint to open the airways
-
Cinnamon to bring warmth and calm
We recommend pairing these oils with a high-quality diffuser (we’re currently reviewing some top picks, like the Oil Garden 360°—stay tuned!).
🧣 2. Cosy Up with Natural Heat
Heat packs and hand warmers are a winter staple. Ours are made with natural fillings and safe materials—great for your back, belly, or even just hugging on a frosty night.
🍵 3. Steep in Wellness with Winter Teas
There’s nothing more comforting than a warm cup of tea—especially when it’s organic and formulated to help you feel your best:
-
Winter Warmer: With ginger and cinnamon
-
Throat Comfort: Soothing with licorice and slippery elm
-
Soothing Caramel Bedtime: For winding down
-
Black Decaf: A perfect anytime tea without the buzz
🍲 4. Feed Your Body with Broth
Rich in nutrients and made from real organic ingredients, broths are your secret weapon. Whether sipped alone or used in winter cooking, they nourish deeply and digest easily.
💧 5. Hydration and Healing for Skin & Sinuses
The cold can dry out skin and irritate airways. Don’t let it win:
-
Lip Balms with shea butter or calendula keep your pout protected.
-
Lozenges with propolis or manuka honey ease sore throats.
-
Chest rubs made from eucalyptus and menthol help with breathing and congestion.
🛁 6. Bath Time is Self-Care Time
Magnesium, Epsom, and Himalayan salts help relax muscles, soothe skin, and promote restful sleep. Add a few drops of your favourite oil, and it’s the perfect night in.
