Essential Oils for Spring: Best Diffuser Blend Recipes

Spring is almost here, and what better way to welcome the season than with delightful scents wafting through your home? Essential oils are a natural and budget-friendly way to freshen up your living space, and with the right blends you can create an atmosphere that will take you right into Spring. In this post, I’m sharing some of my favourite diffuser blend recipes using essential oils that will make your home smell amazing for the season ahead.

Before we dive into the recipes, it’s important to remember that while essential oils offer many benefits, it’s crucial to research the properties of each oil and use them safely. Some oils may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain health conditions or sensitivities. Essential oils can also be dangerous to pets. Always dilute essential oils appropriately and avoid direct contact with the skin or ingestion. Here’s a good article on using essential oils safely.

How to Use these Essential Oil Spring Diffuser Blends

Now that you have these easy diffuser recipes at your fingertips, it’s time to transform your home into a spring oasis.

Creating Linen Sprays

Making DIY linen spray is another wonderful way to enjoy scenting your home with essential oils this Spring. To make a linen spray, first add 2 tbsp of vodka to a 500 ml spray bottle, the essential oil blend that you wish to use x 10 (so, multiply the # of drops in the recipe by 10), and then swirl the oil & alcohol together. Finally, fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water. Shake, and then spray this DIY linen spray on your linens for a fresh, clean scent in your room. You’ll want to spot test this on different fabrics to make sure it works on the fabric. I love using linen spray with lavender oil on my pillows before I go to bed for a soothing aromatherapy effect. I find it truly helps soothe any headaches, tension, or anxiety I might have as I fall asleep.

Essential Oil Safety

As you enjoy the aromatic benefits of these essential oil blends, remember to prioritize safety and mindfulness. Keep diffusers out of reach of children and pets, and never leave them unattended while in use. If you have any concerns about using essential oils, consult with a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare professional.
