Autumn Essential Oils Recipes for Your Diffuser

When you think of fall, many things may come to mind: the brilliant colors of the leaves, the chill that fills the air, the smell and taste of pumpkin, the warm, cozy feeling of coming home and peeling off layers. Whatever fall means to you, why not bring those feelings to life through aromatherapy? A few drops of essential oils in your diffuser can bring the good vibes (and smells) of autumn right into your home!

Bring the scent of fall into your home with these DIY essential oil blends for your diffuser:

Spiced Chai

Mmm…there is nothing like the spicy warmth of a hot cup of chai on a bitter fall afternoon. Combine in a cold-air diffuser:

  • 3 drops cardamom essential oil
  • 2 drops cassia essential oil
  • 2 drops clove essential oil
  • 1 drop ginger essential oil
  • water (most diffusers use about 70mL, but check yours to make sure)

Kicking Up Leaves

The smell of fallen leaves on a crisp autumn day screams childhood. Fill your home with happy memories by combining in a cold air-diffuser:

  • 3 drops frankincense essential oil
  • 2 drops white fir essential oil
  • 1 drop cedarwood essential oil
  • water (70mL, may vary)

Spiced Citrus

If the colder weather is getting you down or zapping your energy, give yourself a little boost of citrus for reinvigoration.

Combine in a cold-air diffuser:

  • 3 drops wild orange essential oil
  • 2 drops cinnamon bark essential oil
  • 1 drop clove essential oil
  • water (70mL, may vary)

Pumpkin Pie Spice

Pumpkin flavor has hit the coffee shops and bakeries; fill your home with the scent of pumpkin without the need for baking!

Combine in a cold air-diffuser:

  • 5 drops cinnamon bark essential oil
  • 1 drop clove essential oil
  • 1 drop nutmeg essential oil
  • water (70mL, may vary)

Immunity Booster

With cold and flu season knocking at the door, now is the time to amp up your body’s protection by combining in a cold-air diffuser:

  • 1 drop rosemary essential oil
  • 1 drop clove essential oil
  • 1 drop eucalyptus essential oil
  • 1 drop cinnamon bark essential oil
  • 1 drop wild orange essential oil

Why use a cold air diffuser, you may ask? As the name suggests, a cold-air diffuser does not heat the oil, keeping all the therapeutic benefits intact, while at the same time dispersing the oil effectively into both large and small areas.
