10 Essential Oil Recipes to Use In a Diffuser
Whether you want to improve your mood, destress, energize or refocus there are literally 100s of essential oil blend combinations. Used aromatically, a diffuser works by breaking down the essential oil into micro molecules then disperses them into the air and fills a room or work space.
I love using essential oils and a diffuser is one of my favorite ways to enjoy the benefits and fragrances. I use a diffuser with one of the following blend recipes when I study (last year for the CPT NASM exam and this year for YTT200), blog, read, or when I just want to relax and unwind or destress from the day.
I started with 3 oils and experimenting with different combinations. After learning more about the benefits of individual oils I tried more variety of the different oils in different amounts and eventually came up with a list of favorites.
Vanilla Citrus Dream
1 drop Tangerine oil
1 drop Orange oil
10 drops Vanilla oil
Energizing Blend
1 drop Peppermint oil
1 drop Rosemary oil
2 drops Cinnamon oil

I’ve been thinking about starting to use essential oils. I’ve heard such good things about them.
This is so awesome – my mastermind and I were just talking about essential oils and so I shared your list of recipes with them. I am super excited about them.
I need to get some tangerine oil so that I can make the Focus blend. I have Eucalyptus coming to me soon in the mail, and peppermint was one of the first essential oils that I purchased. Now, I need to get a good diffuser. I’ve been shopping around but haven’t settled on one.
i have just started using essential oil..and this post will come very handy.
Love the happiness blend. I always think happy thoughts when I use peppermint on anything and everything. 🙂
Lord knows I could use that stress away blend right NOW! 😛 The refreshing blend sounds splendid too!
Printing this out now!! Thanks for the recipes! LOVE my YLEO oils!!
I haven’t tried essential oils yet. Vanilla Citrus Dream sounds like it smells heavenly!

I enjoy using essential oils in my diffuser but so far I only have a few oils. Something fresh and springlike would be great about now!
I would lo this! Where do you find a diffuser?
YAY I am so glad you did this as I have had some essential oils for awhile with the intentions of doing something with them but didn’t know of any combos. SO this is awesome – now I am good to go 😉 Pinning!
Loving all of these blends! I need to get some more oils now so I can make them!!
I use many essential oils and have lots of the ones you suggest…. but Im not quite sure what bergamot is? There are some great combos in that list!!
I love how you listed ones for stress because that is one that I need right now. I will be pinning this and getting myself a diffuser pronto!
My sister in law is super into essential oils. She is always making recipes with them. I will have to tell her about these.
Yay I love these combos I am an EO freak live them all thanks for this will try when I get home today !!
I love diffusing essential oils too! I’ll have to try some of your recipes 🙂
I have not explored with essential oils at all yet! I love how they come around at the end of yoga with lavender though.
I am just getting into essential oils! I got a diffuser last week, and a few blends from DoTerra that I have been playing with. I can’t wait to add more individual oils to my collection so I can play with these recipes! What oil brands do you use?
Ooh I just LOVE essential oils! I’m always looking for new blends to try in my diffuser. My current favorite is Jade Lemon, Lemongrass and Peppermint – so refreshing!
I’m new to essential oils but interested. Any suggestions on a diffuser?
I use lavender, but need to get into these others. Love the “recipes!”
I use essential oils everyday! I love diffusing a lavender blend at night…it helps me fall asleep within minutes!
I’ve been thinking about getting a diffuser for work. It’s so stressful there and it would be nice to have this–we joke about having a Xanax diffuser and this would probably be much more healthy!
