25 Diffuser Recipes with Essential Oils

Alright you guys! I have polled all of my Facebook groups, my friends, my family and I have come up with the top 25 Essential Oil Blends for you to try in your diffuser! I would like to thank everybody for their suggestions!! There were so many great recipes that it was sooooo hard to narrow them down! I'll need to make Part 2!!! MWAH! Love you guys!!!

Are you ready to see the top 25 Diffuser Recipes with Essential Oils?!? This is about to get serious.

25 Essential Oil Diffuser Recipes


What's Diffusing?
Well, that's totally important to know if you're going to read this post. It's awesome. It's wonderful. It'll change your life. You can read all about Why You Should Diffuse Essential Oils in this article if you want all the juicy tidbits, but I'll give you an overall summary of what diffusion happens to be.

Diffusing is not only a chemical free air freshener or a way to help purify the air, but it does a lot of other things like helping to change mood, boost energy, or change your mindset. It can also help to improve typical stress or daily "moods" or improve concentration or focus. It's a great asset because it can do just about anything! 

To make a long story short-- you put water and essential oils in a diffuser, turn it on and it poofs out amazingness into your air! It's super easy and very awesome. Just watch this video to learn more about how to diffuse essential oils in a cold water diffuser (which is totally the most popular thing to do right now--  I would know because I do it all that time and I'm cool. Right. Right?)

A Happy Way To Start Your Day 
One of the questions that I get asked most often is what should I diffuse first thing in the morning? Well, there are lots of options! It really depends on your goals-- do you want to start with motivation? Maybe you want something uplifting? Or maybe you want to prepare your mind for the day ahead.  Here are some great blends from my essential oil team that can help you reach those goals!

  1. I'm VERY new to essential oils. I haven't even gotten my Premium Starter Kit in the mail yet :-( But I'm really excited! I've heard using diffuser necklaces are a great way to diffuse on the go.
    Would you use the same number of drops if you're using a necklace, or would you decrease? If so, by how much?

    1. Yes! A diffuser necklace is a fantastic way to get aromatherapy ALL day. I use much fewer drops usually no more than 3 drops total

    2. I love this post. I am a Young Living member and am sharing in our Facebook group. I found you looking for the Mojito recipe for the diffuser. My friend, Katja, has developed a jewelry line. I love it. https://www.skimbacolifestyle.com/product/silver-diffuser-neclace-lava-bead/ref/leighhines

  2. Would it be necessary to dilute essential oils when using them for diffuser necklace?

    1. No dilution necessary for necklaces. And you will probably need much less than these recipes.

      My recommendation is to mix it in a small 5 ml bottle and drip 1-2 drops on your necklace at a time.
