Just thinking about a warm, sunny spring day with the windows open makes me giddy. I seriously can’t think of anything more pleasant than a clean house, lemon essential oil diffusing, a breeze blowing through the house, and kids playing around outside. Ok, I just painted a picture of perfection, not reality. Haha!
I absolutely love diffusing for the season, and unless we aren’t feeling well, that is exactly what you will find in my diffusers. Give me all the wild orange and clove during the fall, all the peppermint and cinnamon during Christmas time, and bright, cheery oils to diffuse during the Summer. Today, I will share a few of my favorite essential oils to diffuse during the spring.

BEST ESSENTIAL OILS FOR SPRING
As you can see, I stick to a lot of citrus and floral oils during the springtime. I also like to keep all the respiratory oils nearby. Let’s discuss some of the top benefits of these essential oils.
CITRUS ESSENTIAL OILS
Nothing says clean like citrus essential oils. As soon as I start cleaning the house, I will throw a few drops of lemon or another citrus oil in the diffuser. I like to make all my own homemade cleaning products and ditch all the Lysol, but I still want that fresh lemony Lysol smell. Citrus essential oils can add a lot of health benefits to the air in your home.
They are very uplifting and can promote natural energy. Try diffusing citrus oils in the morning to help you get out of bed.
Citrus oils help with stress and anxious feelings because they can help cells return to their normal state and interrupt unhealthy stress responses.
When diffused they can cleanse and purify the air.
They can affect the mood positively and promote feelings of happiness.
FLORAL ESSENTIAL OILS
Everyone wants a lovely smelling house. If you aren’t sure where to start, grab a floral oil or two and drop it in a diffuser. This will make your house smell beautiful, without toxic candles contaminating the air. Floral essential oils are loaded with benefits for you, primarily when used aromatically.
They are very calming and can promote a good night’s sleep. Diffuse a blend of floral oils in your room overnight.
Floral essential oils are really good at grounding emotions and promoting peace.
They can also be effective for stress and anxious feelings.
Add them to a glass spray bottle and mist your sheets and pillowcases before bed to promote a healthy night’s sleep.
SEASONAL THREATS ESSENTIAL OILS
As soon as the flowers start blooming and it’s time to cut the grass, many people will start suffering from the many uncomfortable symptoms of seasonal threats. Thankfully, there are several essential oils you can use to help with these things.
Diffuse lemon, lavender, and peppermint to reduce pollens and allergens in the air.
Boil a pot of water on the stove, remove it from the heat, and add a couple of drops of each oil to the water. Stand over the pot and breathe in the steam.
Peppermint and eucalyptus can open up airways and promote clear breathing when inhaled.

Hello I have been mixing essential oils with ‘augeo clean multi’ liquid instead of a carrier oil as I read some where this gives off a better smell & for longer….
Please can you advise? Should I switch to carrier oil for base? I’m not finding the throw of fragrance to be near strong enough and have been using well over the qty EOs you mention above? X thank you. I used it as per product description below
“ Augeo Clean is a solvent made from glycerine, a renewable source, with brilliant solubilising power and a low evaporation rate. It has very low odour making it an ideal alternative to better known solvents such as DPM or DPG for home fragrance applications.
Uses: Add fragrances or essential oils to the diluent to make a product suitable for most room fragrance applications such as reed diffusers or plug-in type refills.
Formulation Tips: As a guide, in this application, use 25% fragrance to 75% diluent, although this may vary due to personal taste and required strength.”
Thank you
