Spring Essential Oil Diffuser Blend Recipe Introduction

Below, you will find a selection of eight recipes for diffuser blends that I formulated for diffusion during springtime.

These spring-themed essential oil diffuser recipes can also be made at any time of year that you want to create a fresh, uplifting vibe.

Each blend uses only three essential oils and includes substitutions when possible. Using only three oils helps to keep things simple and more affordable.

Essential oils require a lot of plant material to produce, so I don't recommend diffusing oils just to make your home smell "nice," and I don't recommend running your diffuser continuously.

Having said that, the safe, moderate use of essential oils can benefit our mood. Diffusing essential oils while stuck indoors on cold, stormy, rainy spring days can be exceptionally comforting!

Everyone can respond to essential oils and blends differently. These blends are offered as a starting point and inspiration for discovering the blends you’ll love and enjoy most during springtime.

Directions

• Select one of the essential oil diffuser recipe blends shown below.
• Create the blend by adding the proper amount of each essential oil to a small dark-colored glass bottle.
• Label and date your bottle.
• Each recipe consists of a total of only ten drops, so you don't waste much essential oil if you find that you don't like the blend.
• Once you try the blend and confirm that you enjoy and find it beneficial, you can double or triple the batch. However, when adding the blend to your diffuser, do not exceed the number of drops suitable for use in your particular brand and model diffuser.

Precautions

Use essential oils with care. These blends are intended for diffuser use by adults. Less is more with essential oils. These blends are undiluted and some blends contain essential oils that can be phototoxic and/or irritating to the skin.

Do not apply these spring diffuser blends topically.

Be sure to follow all safety precautions and always research the safety info and contraindications for each essential oil that you are considering working with.

Usage Instructions

• Every diffuser is different, so refer to the manufacturer's instructions that came with your diffuser to know how many drops is appropriate to add to your specific diffuser model.
• Thicker essential oils and citrus oils should be used carefully with some types of diffuser models, including atomizing and ultrasonic diffusers. Check the instructions that come with your diffuser for specific information.

Why Don't I Name My Recipes or Essential Oil Blends?

I normally don't name my blends on AromaWeb, but I know a lot of people prefer to work with blends that have names. A potential problem with naming my blends is that I'd hate to accidentally infringe on someone else's blend name or trademarked name. It would take me hours of added work to doublecheck to see if any of the names I chose were already in use. And in no way am I trying to intentionally mimic any blends that someone else has created.
