Get in the Holiday Spirit with these Essential Oil Blends for your Diffuser!
The holidays can be stressful for many.
I love diffusing essential oils to get rid of cooking smells, freshen and clear the air, perk up a low mood, or calm us for bedtime.
I recently completed my aromatherapy certification course. I’m excited to share more with you about the benefits of plants and aromatherapy.
Orange oil is a favorite and frugal essential oil and I often use it as a base note for diffusing blends.
Most love the scent of citrus and there are few contraindications with diffusing. Citrus is uplifting.
I am very careful about diffusing mints, especially around young children or those with sensitivities.
Spice oils should be used sparingly and carefully as well so they don’t irritate mucous membranes.
Evergreen oils are balancing – like cypress, fir, spruce, juniper, rosemary, cedar, pine. They’re refreshing.
Florals are cozy and feminine but add a bright touch to blends as a topnote.
Diffusers only hold so much water and 5-6 drops of oils are plenty for diffusing up to 3 hours in most diffusers.
StressAway essential oil blend is perfect for diffusing all the time. The warm scents of vanilla and lime are perfect for the holidays.
My absolute favorite diffuser blend:
3 drops Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
2 drops Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
2 drops Lemon (Citrus limon)

I love this list of holiday oils to diffuse. We use a lot of oils but sometimes I struggle with easy recipes to diffuse. Thank you for the list.
Tina says
Great oil recipes! I am just starting to get into EO’s and have thought about doing aromatherapy certification, I just graduated as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and I think aromatherapy certification would be a great addition to my new credentials! I will keep the program you linked in mind.
Jennifer says
Ooooh, do tell me where you got your nutrition training! That sounds wonderful.
Tina says
I did my training through the Nutritional Therapy Association, I loved the program! Feel free to shoot me DM me on Instagram if you have any questions (my IG account is on my website.)

Runs to the store to get some oils… :)
Seriously, I have recently started using oils in a diffuser and love it. I find it so much less wasteful than candles. Will definitely have to try some of these combinations during the holidays.
