12 Summer Diffuser Blends You’ll Want to Try This Year (Free Printable Included)

It’s officially time for summer diffuser blends!

Each season holds unique feelings and vibes. Summer is no exception!

I can’t wait to spend more time outdoors, as the weather in nice and the temperatures climb.

But for days when I don’t have time to soak outside, I use my hand-crafted summer essential oil blends. They help me pull in the feeling of the sunny season.

They’re also fantastic to use on rainy days when you wished it was sunny instead.

Are you ready for it? Let me show you what I’ve made…

Which Essential Oils are Best for Summer?

Using summery essential oils can support this wonderful season’s natural energies. I usually match the mood of the summer with suitable essential oils out of my aromatherapy library.

Personally, I like these oils for summertime vibes:

• Refreshing: Spearmint, Peppermint, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus
• Citrus: Lemon, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Orange, Lime, Bergamot. CAUTION! Please beware of phototoxicity in these oils.
• Flowery: Geranium, Palmarosa, Rose and Jasmine

Quick Tips for Diffusing

1. Choose High Quality Oils: Using pure, clean quality essential oils will get you the best results. They’ll smell fantastic, and definitely won’t give you a headache.
2. Place Your Diffuser Mindfully: Position your diffuser in a central location to evenly distribute the aroma throughout the room. Don’t tuck it away in a corner!
3. Mix and Match: If you don’t have a certain oil at home, look up a substitute. Experiment with different oil combinations to find your favorite scents.
4. Follow Dilution Guidelines: My recipes use approximately 6-9 drops of oils total, for a diffuser size between 150-200ml. If your diffuser water tank is significantly smaller (or lager), adjust the number of drops based on the size of your diffuser .
5. Clean Regularly: Keep your diffuser working optimally by following these tips for cleaning your diffuser. Make sure you’re familiar with your manufacturer’s instruction manual, too!
