Navigating through grief is an intensely personal journey, one that can be subtly influenced by the surroundings we immerse ourselves in daily. Our homes, which serve as our personal sanctuaries, can significantly aid in the healing process if we mindfully curate them. Drawing from my own childhood experience growing up in a house filled with plants, I've felt firsthand how these natural elements not only cleanse the energy around us but also enhance the oxygen levels, making a living space more revitalizing. Here’s how you can create a nurturing environment at home to support your journey through grief.

Fortunately, there are many natural oils you can use to soothe your sore muscles and joints. Some of these oils include Peppermint, Frankincense, and Eucalyptus. If you are looking for a pre-blended oil, you can find a number of options online. Generally speaking, essential oils should be diluted before they are applied to the skin. You can use a mix of all these oils in an 8-ounce bottle (250 mL). Make sure to always use a bottle that is marked for external use.
