Easy DIY Spring Diffuser Blends (10 Recipes!)
Spring is in the air! As warmer weather arrives and the flowers start to bloom, it’s the perfect time to freshen up your home with some DIY spring diffuser blends. Use these 10 easy blends to safely and naturally help you relax, energize, and uplift your mood.
My family has been using essential oils for several different purposes for almost 10 years (including natural cleaning!). We stopped using items such as candles and wax melts because they disperse formaldehyde and phalates
One of my favorite ways to use essential oils is in a diffuser to make our home smell amazing.
Over the years, I’ve tried many diffuser blends and done extensive experimenting while creating my own blends.
Using Essential Oils To Create Spring Scents
I’ve always been captivated by the transition from winter to spring. The shift in the air promises a fresh start with new life and new beginnings. I love capturing that feeling inside our home too!
Using a diffuser is an easy and effective way to enjoy essential oils because it disperses the essential oil molecules into the air and offers many benefits, including:
- helping to purify the air
- reduce stress
- improve focus
- promote calmness and relaxation
- enhance mood
- increase energy
- boost your immune system
Whether you’re looking for a fresh and floral scent or a zesty and citrusy aroma, there are plenty of premade spring diffuser blends to choose from and even more that you can DIY yourself!
