Winter Diffuser Blends

The winter season is almost upon us and what better way to ring it in than with some winter diffuser blends! Learn which essential oils are best for winter and how to diffuse them to keep the home cozy and warm this winter season.

As the days get shorter and cooler, it has me dreaming of snow days, the holidays, and all the fun that comes with the winter months.

Though the cold winters in my area can last a little longer than I would like, there are a lot of things I enjoy about the season.

One of the best ways to embrace a new season is with diffuser blends. Diffuser blends can uplift the mood in your home, make it smell beautiful, and all the while, give you aromatherapy benefits.

Reasons to Diffuse Essential Oils

• Aromatherapy: My favorite benefit of diffusing essential oils, aromatherapy can have an incredible impact on your mood and well-being. I diffuse essential oils whenever my family needs uplifting, focus, calming, or energizing. My essential oil blends for mood support are always at the ready!
• Seasonal scents: Our sense of smell is incredible for evoking feelings, especially during seasonal shifts! Diffusing these blends gets me in the mood for winter (which is my least favorite season, so that’s saying something!).
• Natural fragrance: Rather than scented candles or air fresheners with harmful artificial fragrance, diffusing essential oils scents your home naturally. Whenever the house needs freshening or we have guests coming over, I’ll get the diffusers going.
