Diffusing essential oils for Thanksgiving is one of the best ways to get the holiday’s cozy feel in your home.
Thanksgiving diffuser blends are not only great for Thanksgiving day, but throughout this whole holiday season!
Pumpkin pie, fall leaves, and Thanksgiving dinner are some of my favorite things about November.
It is such an exciting time of year, as we have officially entered the wonderful Holiday Season.
The holiday season can be joyful yet stressful. I love all the different family gatherings and delicious food, but there is so much preparation to do.
It is time to get those Christmas lists out and pies in the oven.
Below I share the best essential oils to diffuse during the wonderful month of November!

Benefits of essential oils
Cinnamon
This essential oil is extracted from the bark of a tropical tree. It has a distinct fragrance, is very flavorful, and is filled with many beneficial compounds.
It is a powerful immune booster and cleansing for the air. Learn more about cinnamon HERE.
Clove
This essential oil is a perfect addition to any fall diffuser blend because it can boost the immune system and has a spicy fall aroma.
Clove will make your house smell like you have been doing some fall baking. I talk more about clove and its benefits HERE.
Cardamon
Known for its ability to ease the digestive system, support healthy respiratory function, and calm the nervous system, this is a great essential oil to diffuse during the busy holiday season.
Cassia
Cassia has many purifying and cleansing properties, with a touch of sweet yet spicy aroma. This one makes it into most of my diffuser blends during the fall.
Similar to cinnamon, cassia can naturally boost the immune system to ward off environmental threats.
Wild Orange
The sweet citrus smell of orange makes the list of best smelling essential oils and pairs nicely with one of the spicier oils on this list.
Wild orange is very uplifting, energizing, and can promote a positive mood.
Juniper Berry
Similar to the wild orange, the juniper berry has a sweet citrus smell. When used aromatically, it is very calming.
Coriander
Distilled from the coriander seed, this essential oil has a pleasantly fresh and spicy aroma.
Coriander is very supportive of the digestive system and can help with congestion.
Ginger
Above all, ginger is known for the benefits it has on the digestive system. Still, it also can boost the immune system, calm the nervous system, and support the respiratory system.
Sandalwood
One of my all-time favorite essential oils, sandalwood adds a wonderful, long-lasting scent to any fall diffuser blend.
It has a woodsy aroma, but it’s not overpowering at all. It is a very calming essential oil.
Douglas Fir
Lastly, Douglas fir makes it on the thanksgiving diffuser blends list. This one has a hint of Christmas, so be ready to hear a whole bunch more about this blend next month.
Douglas fir freshens the air, uplifts the mood, and can help with focus and concentration.
Diffusers or fall candles?
Essential oils can support a healthy immune system, clear the sinuses, boost the mood, and freshen the air.
I enjoy a lovely smelling home, but I ditched the candles years back after a little research.
Most candles are filled with toxins and fill the air in your home with chemicals; as the candle burns, you are breathing in these toxins.
In fact, scented candles are a huge source of indoor air pollution, and studies have shown that they put off chemicals that are considered just as dangerous as second-hand smoke.
A few years back, I replaced all the candles in my home with essential oil diffusers.
Not only does my house smell nice, but the toxic candles also are out, and my family is reaping the benefits of the essential oils.
TOXINS FOUND IN CANDLES
- Paraffin wax– This type of wax contains benzene and toluene and is highly toxic. The chemicals are released into the air when burned (both are known carcinogens).
- Heavy metals in the wicks– More than 25% of candle wicks contain heavy metals, such as lead. When burned, the heavy metals are polluting the air and are inhaled into our lungs.
- Artificial Fragrances and Dyes– Known to cause allergic reactions, contain hormone disturbers, carcinogens, and have been linked to damage sperm. Some dyes, like red40, are banned in other countries.
BENEFITS OF AROMATHERAPY
Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds extracted and distilled from plants for their many benefits.
Aromatherapy is a holistic approach that uses essential oils to promote health, well-being, and uplift the mood.

Hello,
what type of diffuser do you recommend using?
lauraascher says
I use the petal diffuser by doterra. I have used a few other ones but have found this one to work the best and last the longest. Here is a link if you want to check it out: http://bit.ly/2qZco7Q
Lisa says
Do we adjust the drops based on diffuser size? If so how much
Laura says
I do it more on room size and preference.
Theresa Scott says
I think you are amazing. A beautiful soul. Everything you put your hands to do it just comes out picture perfect. Even when you were pregnant you were busy being an example of taking care of yourself and your family. Such a good Christ like example. I on the other hand am not as on the move like you, I wish I was. Thank you for being a good role model for any woman married or single. Have a blessed holiday.
Laura says
Thanks for the kind words! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
