Why We Love Diffusing Essential Oils

Cozy seasonal scents: Nothing gets me in the mood for autumn like lovely essential oil blends! With scents like pumpkin pie and spiced apple cider, these blends will make it feel like November.
Aromatherapy: The smell of essential oils isn’t just enjoyable, it can actually have a significant impact on your mood and wellbeing! Aromatherapy from essential oils is just what I need when the chaos of the holidays hits.
Skip the candles: Scented candles are a popular way to make your house smell seasonal, but they can be quite harmful to our health! Many store-bought candles contain paraffin wax, heavy metals, and artificial fragrance which are released into the air we breathe. Diffusing gives you the lovely scents without any of the harmful ingredients! Of course, I’m still a fan of scented candles; I just opt for homemade candles with essential oils, like my rosemary mint soy candle.

Best Essential Oils for Thanksgiving

Cinnamon

This essential oil is extracted from the bark of a tropical tree and smells just like fall! It has a distinct fragrance and can be a very beneficial mood enhancer.

Clove

This essential oil is a perfect addition to any fall diffuser blend because it has a spicy fall aroma and pairs well with the other autumnal oils. I especially love diffusing clove essential oil because it boosts the immune system, which is very important this time of year!

Cardamom

Known for its ability to ease the digestive system, support healthy respiratory function, and calm the nervous system, cardamom is a great essential oil to diffuse during the busy holiday season.

Cassia

Another oil that smells like fall, cassia has a sweet yet spicy aroma. It is an uplifting oil that will certainly improve everybody’s moods when you diffuse it!

Wild Orange

The sweet citrus smell of orange makes my list of the best smelling essential oils and pairs nicely with one of the spicier oils on this list. Wild orange is uplifting, energizing, and can promote a positive mood. It may even reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression!

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. It pairs nicely with other fall essential oils!

Ginger

Ginger is commonly used for its benefits to the digestive system, but ginger essential oil also has a warm and spicy aroma, perfect for fall. This oil can boost the immune system, reduce nausea, and decrease inflammation.

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, calming aroma that is not overpowering.

Douglas Fir

Douglas fir adds a fresh, woodsy aroma to any essential oil blend. It gives blends a hint of Christmas, which I love as the season approaches!

Expert Tips

Don’t forget to keep your diffuser clean to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria! Learn more about how to clean a diffuser in my blog tutorial.
If you don’t have a particular oil for one of the diffuser blends, don’t fret. You can either substitute it with a similar-scented oil or simply use a larger amount of the other oils in the blend.
Always use your diffuser in an open, well-ventilated area with good airflow and open doors.
If you have pets in the home, I suggest doing a bit of research before diffusing oils and ensuring they are able to leave the room if needed.
