Welcome Aromatherapy Friend!

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet.

You’re in the right place if you:

love essential oils
want new recipes for your diffuser
need the benefits of aromatherapy
like your house to smell fabulous

I use essential oils everyday and I am constantly amazed at their effectiveness and versatility. But my favorite way to use the oils, and the one I turn to again and again, is diffusing. You might even say I’m a littlediffuser-obsessed. I just can’t think of anything better than being surrounded by wonderful smells all day long.

These5 Fabulous Essential Oil Diffuser Recipes are just a few of my favorite blends and a great jumping-off point for you to discover the powerful effects of diffusing essential oils.

Did I mention that these diffuser recipes will make your house smell fabulous? Oh yeah, baby!

Here are five of my favorite essential oil diffuserrecipes for you to try at your house:

There are 2 kinds of people: morning people and people who want to kill morning people.

It’s no secret around here that I am not a morning person. Some people might claim that is an understatement. And since I don’t drink coffee or soda, I can’t rely on caffeine to get me going.

My sweet husband wakes up earlier than me (yes, I married a die-hard morning person) so he often gets the diffuser going with this uplifting essential oil blend. It may be because he’s sweet (which he is) or it may be a method of survival. Either way, it works.

Uplifting Blend Diffuser Recipe

Lemon–cleanses and purifies the air,promotes a positive mood and supports cognitive ability.
Wild Orange–supports healthy immune function, purifies the air, uplifting to the mind and body.
Bergamot–reduces tension and stress, lessens anxious feelings, increases confidence.

My house was clean yesterday…sorry you missed it.

I love the smell of my house right after everyone has cleaned it with my all-natural homemade cleaning products. Diffusing this Clean & Fresh blend gives that same “just cleaned” scent without all the scrubbing.

Clean & Fresh Diffuser Recipe

Lavender–freshens the air,widely used for its calming and relaxing qualities.
Lemon–cleanses and purifies the air, promotes a positive mood.
Rosemary–helps reduce nervous tension and fatigue, stimulates the mind.

Homework–because 7 hours of school just isn’t enough.

Kids seem to get a lot of homework these days. Even when my boys were in kindergarten they were bringing home assignments. What’s up with that?

Essential oils to the rescue. I like to use this study blend diffuser recipe while my kids are doing homework or studying for a test. It’s great for increasing focus and concentration and also improves memory recall. I also use it in the diffuser on my desk when I’m trying to concentrate on writing a blog post. Like right now.

Study Blend Diffuser Recipe

Peppermint–promotes healthy respiratory function and clear breathing, non-stimulant, invigorating pick-me-up.
Rosemary–improves concentration and memory retention, helps reduce tension and fatigue.
Basil–promotes mental alertness and lessens anxious feelings, increases focus and concentration.

Two roads diverged in a wood and…oh great, now I’m lost.

This is a wonderful blend that I like to diffuse, especially in the colder months. It smells like a cup of hot cider and makes me feel all warm and cozy. This would be a perfect blend to diffuse at your holiday parties and get-togethers.

Mulled Cider Diffuser Recipe

Wild Orange–supports healthy immune function, purifies the air, uplifting to the mind and body.
Cinnamon–supports healthy immune function, promotes feelings of warmth and well-being.
Clove–powerful antioxidant, supports a healthy immune system, supports cardiovascular health

Bed–a magical place where I suddenly remember everything I forgot to do.

The time between dinner and bedtime is what we lovingly refer to around here as “the witching hour”. Sometimes certain people are tired and cranky and sometimes certain people are wild and crazy. I won’t name names but they know who they are. Actually they probably don’t, come to think of it, because denial is one of the hallmarks of the witching hour.

That’s why I love my bedtime blend diffuser recipe. It’s great to diffuse in the hours before bed and also great to diffuse on a bedside table for a good night’s sleep.

Bedtime Blend Diffuser Recipe

Lavender–widely used for its calming and relaxing properties, eases muscle tension.
Cedarwood–supports healthy respiratory function, evokes feeling of wellness and relaxation.
Marjoram–valued for its calming properties and positive effect on the nervous system, supports a healthy respiratory system.

So that’s what teen spirit smells like. Got it.

I know, I know, I already gave you five of my favorite diffuser recipes. But just because I like you, I’m throwing in farm kid #2’s favorite blend as well. It’s called Man-Cave because he loves to diffuse it in his bedroom which is down in the basem*nt, has very little light, is abnormally cold (he likes it that way) and really does feel like a cave.

His favorite blend smells very woodsy which adds to the “I live by myself in a cave in the woods” ambiance I guess he’s going for. That’s fine with me because his woodsy man-cave smell is wonderful and I’ll take that over “smells like teen spirit” any day! (Sorry Nirvana fans).

Man-Cave Diffuser Blend

White Fir–supports clear breathing and respiratory function, energizes the body and mind.
Cedarwood–evokes feelings of wellness and vitality, relaxing and soothing aroma.
Cyprus–supports healthy respiratory function, promotes vitality and energy.

So there you have it, my favorite diffuser blends to diffuse throughout the day. If you have a favorite blend of your own please leave it in the comments.
