Essential Oils for Spring

I personally love blending with floral essential oils more during the spring months than any other time of the year. Citrus Essential Oils are a favorite of mine all year round. With their uplifting and energizing aroma, you'll certainly find me reaching for them on upcoming rainy spring days.

Below is a list of essential oils chosen with springtime use in mind. This is a highly subjective list and is meant only as a starting point for your own exploration.

You may want to skim through the list of 110 oils contained in AromaWeb's Essential Oil Profiles area to see if there are additional essential oils that you personally like for Spring.

Spring Essential Oil Diffuser Blend Examples

Below are several basic springtime diffuser blends. Create the blends by adding the proper amount of essential oils to a dark-colored glass bottle. Add the appropriate number of drops from your created blend to your diffuser following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Be sure and familiarize yourself using reputable sources for the safety and contraindications of all oils you choose to use. Make the smallest possible blend first to make sure you like the blend before doubling, tripling, etc. the recipe.
