Holiday Scents

Winter is the perfect time to diffuse essential oils, and what better time than the holidays with these festive blends to lend a cozy atmosphere to your home!

With the house shut tight against the cold and the furnace running so much of the time, I like to keep my diffuser going. Here are some of my favorite blends to celebrate the Christmas season.

Sweet Dreams

This is so nice to diffuse at bedtime with the sweet orange and lavender scents mingled together. Really nice!

  • 3 drops sweet orange oil
  • 3 drops lavender oil

Lemon boost

For lemonade fans. Lemon always makes me think “clean,” and the peppermint adds a hint of coolness to the blend.

  • 3 drops lemon oil
  • 2 drops peppermint oil

Winter Joy

I have diffused this a lot around Christmas. Frankincense has that ancient, healing quality, as the wise men obviously knew! Add in the sweet orange factor and the peppermint cool, and it’s a wonderful, uplifting blend to diffuse even after Christmas!

  • 3 drops frankincense oil
  • 3 drops sweet orange oil
  • 2 drops peppermint oil

 

These festive blends are just a sampling of my favorites. While I’ve highlighted the aromatic qualities, essential oils are known for their healing properties, too. It’s a fun hobby to take up, and I enjoy experimenting to find my favorite scents. A good blend can go a long way in elevating your mood as well, something to be mindful of as we head into the post holiday season!
