Brace yourself, winter is here! We suppose you are snuggled under your quilt with a mug of hot chocolate and refuse to get out of your bed. This is the season where we tend to find comfort through external sources such as heavy blankets, comforters, bunch of warm clothes and addictive drinks like hot coffee or excessive tea. It’s time to bring a change in our winter wellness by bidding adieu to winter blues, and welcoming winters with our inner warmth.

As winter arrives, we start feeling gloomy; there’s a lack of motivation to work or step outside the house, we feel moody and are irritated easily, and overall feel a little unsettled. These are some of the symptoms of winter blues, which affects our day to day lives negatively. The best way to address such problems is by improving our immune system through natural ways. Nature is an integral part of us, yet we tend to stay distant from it. Our overall wellness depends on our proximity to nature. Let us look at some of the best natural winter wellness approaches that should be followed on a regular basis during this season:
