Essential Oil Recipes
Essential oil diffusers are probably the best way to experience the benefits of essential oils. They take pure essential oils and release them into the atmosphere for your inhaling pleasure. Whether you’re feeling blue, have a cold, or need a pick-me-up, there’s an essential oil that is well suited for the occasion. Essential oil diffusers are the perfect vehicle to get the good times rolling.
Single Oils For Your Essential Oil Diffusers
There are plenty of single oils out there that can do amazing things to your atmosphere when used on their own. They can fight many ailments that you might struggle with such as insomnia (lavender), nausea (peppermint), depression (grapefruit), or simply mental fatigue (cinnamon). When you add a few drops of them to essential oil diffusers, you can keep breathing in their health benefits all day and night to help you feel better.
But sometimes, you might need a more powerful combination of oils to beat those blues, or to work other wonders on your spirit. This is where making a blend for your essential oil diffusers comes in.
Making Blends For Your Essential Oil Diffuser
One single oil is good, but a blend can be better. Here are a 10 recipes for blends that can be used in essential oil diffusers.
Top o’ The Morning - Get up and get going every morning by filling essential oil diffusers with a blend that improves your alertness and stimulates you for a happy day. It also works well as a pick-me-up when the afternoon doldrums hit:
- 4 drops of sweet orange + 4 drops of peppermint
Respiratory Wonder – When you’re so congested that you can’t smell a thing, use this blend for essential oil diffusers to get cleared out. It’s also great for improving respiratory function:
- 2 drops lemon + 1 drop lime + 2 drops peppermint + 1 drop rosemary + 2 drops eucalyptus + 1 drop tea tree
A Welcoming Freshness – Nothing says welcome like a summertime smell that goes right to your head; literally. Essential oil diffusers release the goods from this blend that promotes peace and summer love:
- 3 drops lavender + 2 drops lemon + 2 drops grapefruit + 2 drops spearmint
De-Stink The Room – In a home, stinky things happen, from pet odors to cooking odors and beyond. (Stinky teen sports uniforms, anyone?) Banish the bad and add odor eliminating power to your essential oil diffuser with:
- 2 drops lemon + 1 drop tea tree (melaleuca) + 1 drop cilantro + 1 drop lime
Let’s Hear It For The Boy – A rather manly blend that’s reminiscent of the woods and would work well to keep the man-cave smelling clean and fresh, despite the increased sweat and testosterone:
- 2 drops white fir + 2 drops cypress + 2 drops wintergreen
It’s Allergy Season. Again – Whether you suffer them in the spring, summer, fall or all year-round, allergies can make life miserable. But a essential oil diffuser with this blend can help you blast them and be on the road to breathing better:
- 3 drops peppermint + 3 drops lavender + 3 drops lemon
Banish The Bugs – We mean the creepy crawlers, or fliers. Essential oil diffusers filled with this can be put on the patio to prevent unwanted visitors of the insect persuasion:
- 1 drop lemongrass + 1 drop thyme + 1 drop eucalyptus + 1 drop basil
So-long, Sickness – Use it Fall through Spring to increase immunity and decrease your number of sick days:
- 1 drop rosemary + 1 drop clove + 1 drop eucalyptus + 1 drop cinnamon + 1 drop orange
Calm Down – There are many blends for essential oil diffusers you can use to relax when your nerves are shot, so we’ll give you two since this is such a common ailment:
- 2 drops frankincense + 2 drops bergamot + 2 drops vetiver + 2 drops cedarwood
Sleep Tight – End the day on a perfect note with a good night’s sleep. A few drops and you’ll be off to nod before you know it:
- 2 drops lavender + 2 drops chamomile + 2 drops marjoram
The more you learn about essential oils, the easier it will be to make your own blends and create something that is unique to you and your needs. Essential oil diffusers can become a wonderful addition to your life. With benefits that range from relaxation to energy stimulation and more, it’s a way to make your home smell better and your whole life a little bit healthier.

Thank you! I’m glad to learn some great recipes. Especially, glad about the recipe for Banish The Bugs! This past couple summers, my saltwater pool has been a HONEY BEE hangout. I use PEPPERMINT & LEMON all around the edges & ladder (be careful can get slick with too much oil). I also used 10-12 drops each diluted in a spray bottle & would spray the air as walking to the pool. The BEE’S would fly off, they’d come back after things got calm, I’d just repeat the process. I don’t like to kill them, they are HONEY BEES, however. Thought I’d share.

Hi
Thanks for all the advices you give in how to use EO.
I had been using essential oils, incense and candles all my life. Without even know that cats and dogs could be allergic to some oils. My pets seems to be doing ok, with all of the oils I use, including all the ones in the no,no, list.
I’m worry now, after reading all this info.
What should I do? After all this time nothing ever happen to none of them, should I stop using them? I use a diffuser that uses water and only use 4 or 5 drops of oils.
