Spring Essential Oils
Using essential oils doesn’t have to get boring.
While we all tend to favor some oils over another eventually, this Spring I’d like to inspire you to try something new.
Order an oil that you haven’t bought before, and enjoy growing your essential oils library.
I recommend the following essential oils for spring vibes:
- Floral: Geranium, Palmarosa, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Rose
- Citrus: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lime, Mandarin, Tangerine, Sweet Orange, Wild Orange
- Herbacious: Clary Sage, Cypress, Juniper Berry, Bay
- Earthy: Cedarwood Atlas, Hyssop, Chamomile
How to Make a Diffuser Blend
Run your diffuser more in Spring! It helps freshen up the air in the home, and can bring in fresh, positive vibes.
Creating essential oil blends right inside your diffuser is fun & easy!
- Fill your essential oil diffuser with water per manufacturer’s instructions.
- Add the required drops of essential oils to the water.
- Add oils in sequence. Start with the first oil in my essential oil blend recipes, and make your way down.
- Close the lid of your diffuser.
- Turn on and enjoy!
Diffusers typically take anywhere between 4-8 drops of essential oils. That is, if their water reservoir is between 100 – 200 ml and you are diluting at the generally recommended rate of 2%.
There are reasons you may wish to diffuser more strongly, or less potent. You can find and follow more exact dilution rates for diffusers here. You’ll also want to follow specific guidelines and considerations if you have pets in your house, and make sure you diffuse safely around cats.
Diffuser Blend Recipes for Spring
Somehow, I always use more of certain oils for certain seasons.
While fall typically brings with it the aromas of Cinnamon and Pumpkin Spice, in the Spring I crave the fresh, flowery notes.
Diffusing is one of the easiest ways to change the mood and feeling around your house.

Diffusing Tips
Diffusing essential oils is a way to set the mood and atmosphere in your home. It is also a means to maximize the oils’ fragrance and therapeutic properties so you can enjoy aromatherapy benefits from diffusing.
To diffuse essential oils, you’ll need an essential oil diffuser. Most diffusers also double as a night light and you can use them with or without the light options. This is especially handy if you have kids, who usually love the various light options in these units.
Place your diffuser in a handy and accessible place, but not somewhere you can knock it over too easily. Find my tips on how to best place and use your diffuser here.
Essential oil diffusers are meant to last a long time. If yours is breaking down or has stopped working, check out these tips for cleaning your essential oil diffuser. I also have instructions for fixing Young Living or doTerra diffusers specifically.
