There are many types of diffusers out there, and each of them are great for different reasons. We explain in this article about the styles and benefits of each. But when it comes to passive diffusers, we have all the extra details you need right here.
What is a Passive Aromatherapy Diffuser?
The biggest benefit of passive diffusers (or sometimes called evaporative diffusers) is that you do not need any power source such as electricity or batteries. So, essentially they gently diffuse the aroma of your oils using either natural evaporation or air flow. Most of the time, passive diffusers absorb the Essential Oils and slowly the scent releases into the air around it. You might see them made from clay, lava, wood, cotton, or ceramic.
How do you Use a Passive Diffuser?
Using a passive diffuser is incredibly easy and straightforward. All you need to do is put your chosen Essential Oils or Blend onto the absorbent part of the product and let the scent dissipate into the environment. One thing to note is that the scent of the oils will be more subtle than with an active diffuser like an electric ultrasonic model. This is because of the nature of this style. It is much more personal and intimate.
REVIVE’s Ceramic Diffusers like the Flower or the Gnome are meant to be a beautiful and decorative addition to your home that also offers the functional benefits of aromatherapy. These types of diffusers generally require about 5 to 8 drops of oil to generate enough scent. Keep in mind that softer aromas might need more drops.
REVIVE’s Lava Stone Diffuser Bracelet is a really great way to use your oils on the go. Simply adding 2 to 3 drops of oil to the lava jewelry is enough to get a day’s worth of personal, portable scent. The Branch Diffuser by REVIVE is the easiest way to diffuse your beloved Essential Oils in your car! Instead of choosing a store-bought hanging tree or “candle” brand freshener, the Branch is just as effective to scent your car but without the toxins. One of the best parts about this diffuser is that it clips into your air vent so the rushing heat or air conditioning moves the smell along into the cabin of the car. We recommend at least 5 drops of oil on the wick, but many of our customers report using 10-15 drops of oil to get the strength of scent that they desire
How Long Does the Scent Last?
The scent of the oils on this type of diffuser typically lasts a few days. Because Essential Oils naturally begin to dissipate when exposed to oxygen, it will also depend on which oils are used, the amount, and the size of the diffuser. Blends with heavier base notes have bigger molecules that may linger longer, while lighter oils like citrus will diminish quicker. Air temperature and conditions can also come into play here. If you have your heat on high and the air is drier, the oils will tend to diminish quicker as well.
No worries though, all you need to do is add more oils!
What are the Benefits of a Passive Diffuser?
One of our favorite things about a passive diffuser is that it supplies a more continuous and subtle release of fragrance creating a wonderful ambiance in any room. Additionally, it is a great option for an area that does not have electricity. As you know, many Essential Oils are antibacterial and antimicrobial, so just having this in your space can help to freshen the air and kill germs. Another thing to note is that if you are sensitive to light or sound, it is helpful to know that passive diffusers are silent and do not contain any light emitting sources. Lastly, because passive diffusers have a milder and more contained scent, they are great for pet owners or family members of those with sensitivities.
How do you Clean your Passive Diffuser?
If you always plan on using the same oil on your diffuser, then you really have no need for cleaning it. But, if you want to avoid the intermingling of scents, it may be an integral part of using a passive style diffuser. To clean a ceramic model like the gnome, you can simply soak it in warm water and gently scrub it with a gentle, unscented soap and then let it air dry. This would work well for the lava bracelet as well, just be careful not to damage the elastic. For wick style diffusers like The Branch, you don’t need to clean anything at all. Just switch out your cotton wick as needed when you want to use a different scent.
As you can see, passive diffusers are an inexpensive and useful tool for your Essential Oils. So, now that you know more about them, give them a try!

Who doesn’t love having their home filled with a beautiful scent? Whether it be for deodorizing, mood, or to create a comforting atmosphere, having your Essential Oils in the air can help with so many things. Because of this, the use of Essential Oil Diffusers has gained traction in contemporary wellness practices, as well as everyday home use.
What Exactly is an Essential Oil Diffuser?
In general, diffusers are devices to disperse Essential Oils into the air. They are often very cost effective because just a few drops of oil can last for several hours. Additionally, they are actually pretty easy to use once you know how.
Essential Oil (or Aromatherapy) Diffusers can be categorized into a few different types. Each of them uses unique mechanisms to deploy the aromatic compounds of the oils. The most common kinds of diffusers are ultrasonic, passive/evaporative, cool mist, heat, and nebulizers.
Essential Oil Diffusers: What are the Different Types?
Whether you have a simple tea light candle diffuser or an electric ultrasonic diffuser, proper use is key. Here we will describe how to use each kind to achieve all of the benefits that Essential Oils have to offer.
Passive/Evaporative Diffusers
These types of diffusers are very simple and essentially the easiest to use, but they also have a lighter and less consistent aroma. Basically, these types of diffusers just rely on natural evaporation of Essential Oils. Examples of passive or evaporative diffusers are reed diffusers, ceramic pieces like the REVIVE Passive Flower Diffuser, lava stone jewelry like REVIVE’s Black Lava Stone Bracelet, or cotton applications like REVIVE Branch Diffuser. To use, simply put a drop or two of your Essential Oils onto the absorbent material and inhale the beautiful scent as it wafts off of the item. These are a good choice for the office when you want to reduce stress, you can use these Essential Oils to calm and relax. You can re-apply as desired for more or different scents.
Heat Diffusers
This next style of diffuser is another somewhat simple way to diffuse oils and most of the time without electricity. A very basic way of using heat for diffusion would be adding Essential Oils to a bowl of warm water. Many people will do this for steam inhalation when they are feeling stuffed up using these Essential Oils for Congestion. Another basic way of heat diffusion is a tea light diffuser. These are often a cute ceramic or terracotta piece with a tea candle in the base and a reservoir on top. By adding a bit of water and a couple drops of oil in the top and lighting the candle, the gentle heat will warm the oil and create a nice aroma for a small space. Other times, you may see light bulb rings or plug in diffusers as heat options as well. These are great to use too as long as you do not overheat your Essential Oils. Once they get over 100 degrees, the therapeutic benefits start to dissipate.
Ultrasonic and Cool Mist Diffusers
Even though they are not exactly the same thing, cool mist and ultrasonic diffusers work very similarly and create the same type of result. These types of diffusers use sound frequency or vibration to create a fine mist that disperses into the air. No heat is needed for this, but they do need to be either plugged in like the REVIVE Halo Diffuser or charged with a USB like the REVIVE Air Personal Mist Diffuser.
One of the greatest aspects of this type of diffuser is that they often have several different lighting options for ambiance, as well as settings for intermittent diffusion. Because of this, we love this type of diffuser best.
Nebulizing Diffusers
Unlike most of the diffusers we have already discussed, nebulizers do not use any water or heat. They force a stream of air through a small tube that contains Essential Oil. Then this airstream turns into a fine mist that distributes the aromatherapy throughout your space. This generally is the strongest smelling option but the downfall of these diffusers is that they are usually the most expensive and they use up your oils a little quicker.
Benefits of Using an Essential Oil Diffuser
The incorporation of Essential Oils in a diffuser used in your home has so many incredible benefits. It can have great psychological, physiological, and spiritual benefits. In addition to that, it can actually improve the air that you breathe!
Improved Mood: The chemical compounds the Essential Oils that you diffuse can help change your state of mind. When diffusing citrus oils, you can feel uplifted and energized, while diffusing woodsy oils, you can feel more grounded or reduce stress.
Improved Physical Health: The therapeutic benefits of diffusing Essential Oils can also affect you physically. For example, if you diffuse Eucalyptus or Laurel, they can help to clear congestion and reduce inflammation.
Create Ambiance: Diffusing nostalgic or comforting Essential Oils can set the tone for your space. Whether you are trying to promote some holiday cheer or emulate baked goods, those scrumptious smelling oils in the atmosphere are a perfect touch.
Better Sleep: If you have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep at night, diffusing sedative oils by your bed can really be beneficial. Utilizing REVIVE sleep blends or creating your own blends like these, can really promote better relaxation and reduce insomnia.
Cleaner Air: If you diffuse antimicrobial or antiviral Essential Oils, they can naturally remove many germs from the space and even help kill airborne viruses. REVIVE offers some great pre-blended options or you can check out these options for cold and flu season.
How to Use and Essential Oil Diffuser: 5 Quick Steps to Getting Started
Choose Your Diffusers: First, pick what diffuser you want to use. REVIVE has some of the BEST diffusers in the industry! We really love the ultrasonics for the flexibility and setting options.
Plug it in if Applicable: When using an electric diffuser, be sure to plug it in.
Fill it with Water: Most Essential Oil Diffusers (aside from nebulizers) will need to be filled with some water. According to package directions, add the correct amount of water needed.
Choose your Oils & Add them to the Diffuser: Depending on your goal for diffusion, choose what single oils or blends you would like to use and add them in. Most diffusers call for only 3-5 drops!
Pick your Setting & Enjoy the Benefits: If your diffuser has an intermittent setting or a timing setting, now is when you would decide which one you would like. Turn it on and reap the benefits of aromatherapy!
Cleaning your Diffuser
Regular maintenance of your diffuser is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Your diffuser will come with an instruction guide, so definitely follow their guidelines. But, in general, it basically involves just rinsing the reservoir and wiping it down as needed. Every few weeks, you may want to wipe it down thoroughly with vinegar to remove any built up residue.
Diffuser FAQ’s
Is it okay to diffuse everyday?
Yes, Essential Oils are a healthy way to add scent to your home and an easy way to get their benefits. We do, however, recommend limiting the amount of time per day or using an intermittent setting so that you do not experience nose blindness.
Do you put hot or cold water in the diffuser?
Cool or room temperature water is best.
Can you use any Essential Oil in your Diffuser?
Yes, you can use any pure Essential Oils or blends. But please ensure they are genuine oils like REVIVE carries.
Can I use a diffuser as a humidifier?
Even though diffusers have water in them, it is not meant to be a humidifier. The amount of water that comes out is not a significant amount.
How many drops of oil do you put in your diffuser?
Follow your instruction guide for exact recommendations. Most regular size diffusers only require 3-5 drops, but some larger diffusers call for 5-10 drops of oil.
How do I know what type of diffuser to get?
Well, what do you like? Many people choose their diffuser based on style or look. You may also want to consider where you will be using it. If it is in your car, the Branch or Pebble diffusers are great options. If it is for your child’s room, you might love Harry the Hedgehog. Or if you are trying to fill your whole living room, you would love the Valencia.

What are the different essential oil diffuser types? As you may know after conducting a bit of research, there are quite a few different styles out there. So – which do you pick? Out of all the types of essential oil diffusers, which is the best at promoting therapeutic effects?
There are different factors you should weigh before making your choice – and we’re here to help you with that. Below, we list the different essential oil diffuser types and review which diffuser boasts the best efficiency for the desired benefits of aromatherapy. Let’s get started with a brief overview of the purpose of essential oil diffusers.
A Brief Overview of the Purpose of Essential Oil Diffusers
Essential oil diffusers are used to diffuse essential oils into the air. They can then be inhaled to access aromatherapy properties they have to offer.
For example, many relaxing essential oil blends can soothe and relax the body naturally when inhaled, reducing stress and anxiety. They are often used in spas to increase relaxation during massages, facials, and other types of spa treatments.
However, these are also used in homes, office, and other spaces around the world for the very same benefits. They can also be used to promote focus during the workday, encourage sleep at night, and provide delectable aromas throughout the entire room.
There is an outstanding range of essential oil diffuser benefits and usages that many people are unaware of, like optimal essential oil frequencies and using different blends to help you stop smoking, increase fertility, or to promote antiseptic effects as the scents interact with the body’s limbic system.
And while topical application will always have its place, there are benefits to the hands-off, automated approach to using essential oils in a diffuser. With an essential oil diffuser, the diffused molecules of essential oils are inhaled, interacting with the olfactory nerves to reach the brain and promote impactful benefits – without you having to stop what you’re doing!
Why Choosing the Right Essential Oil Diffuser Type is so Important
Choosing the best essential oil diffuser is vital to getting the most out of your product. After all, you want the most favorable restorative benefits from your essential oils, whether to relieve anxiety, boost energy, or improve sleep.
A high-quality product will promote the most efficient diffusion method of essential oils so that you can reap the benefits. Because essential oils can be costly, you need a diffuser that helps you get the most out of them. Different diffusers may cost less but can change the chemical composition of the essential oils and negate the health benefits.
With that said, we’ll detail the different types of essential oil diffusers below and help you determine which one is the most recommended for top-notch efficiency.
So – What are the Different Types of Essential Oil Diffusers?
So, what are the different essential oil diffuser types? Below we go into detail on the other essential oil diffuser types, their effectiveness, and their pros and cons as a diffuser!
Ultrasonic
The most popular of all the diffusers, the ultrasonic essential oil diffuser utilizes electronic frequencies to produce a mist from a combination of water and essential oil.
The design of this specific diffuser powers the ultrasonic vibrations with a small disk found under the surface of the water. This disk breaks up the essential oil and water into micro-particles so they can be diffused into the air as a mist.
Compared to other essential oil diffusers, the ultrasonic diffuser requires less essential oil, meaning the lifespan of each bottle of essential oil is extended, saving you money in the long run.
Unfortunately, if the diffuser is made from plastic, the oils will eventually damage the diffuser, requiring another investment sometime in the future. They may also require some background knowledge on essential oil diffuser cleaning, as water usage increases the risk of potential mold.
Nebulizing
A nebulizing essential oil diffuser does not require heat or water to operate. Instead, this nifty product uses a highly pressurized air stream to atomize essential oils before they are distributed into the air.
As no heat is applied in the diffusing process, the chemical structure of the essential oil remains unaltered so that you can reap the full range of therapeutic health benefits of the oils in their purest form.
Evaporative
An evaporative essential oil diffuser uses air flow to blow essential oil’s scent into the air. The design of the diffuser typically utilizes a pad, wick, or filter for essential oils to be added. Then the fan blows air through the pad or filter to evaporate the oils and spread them throughout the space. This process also evaporates the oil faster than other diffusers, dispersing the essential oils more quickly.
There is a second type of evaporative diffuser. Instead of a fan, it utilizes the existing air current in the room to subtly diffuse the essential oils into the space.
A drawback of evaporative diffusers is that the delivery of essential oils is often unbalanced. This is because the lighter portions evaporate and disperse immediately compared to the heavier portions, disrupting the therapeutic qualities of the essential oils.
Heat
Similar to how evaporative diffusers use air to distribute essential oils, this type of diffuser uses heat to distribute the essential oils into the area. However, compared to low-quality heat diffusers, higher-quality heat diffusers use lower temperatures to gradually evaporate the essential oils to prevent altering the chemical structure of the oils and negating the desired therapeutic effects.
Like evaporative diffusers, the drawback to heat diffusers is the uneven distribution of essential oils into the air. Some common types of heat diffusers include candle and lamp ring diffusers, though there are other types of heat-based tools used to create a soothing atmosphere with calming scents. For example, candles. And in our article, oil diffuser vs candle, we go into the pros and cons of using a candle versus an essential oil diffuser.
Which of the Different Types of Essential Oil Diffusers is Right for You?
If you want the most out of your essential oil diffuser, we recommend ultrasonic or nebulizing diffusers. But no matter what type of essential oil diffuser you end up going with, Revive is the best place to buy essential oil diffusers online!

Essential Oils and Chakras: How To Activate, Maintain, & Calm
Chakras (the Sanskrit word for wheel) are the 7 major energy centers of the body that run from the base of your spine to the top of your head. The thought is that the chakras need to be open and free-flowing to live a healthy life emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
When blockages occur, there are many tools for opening these Chakras back up and creating balance. Essential Oils are one of these helpful natural aids. That’s why today, we’re going to teach you the link between essential oils and chakras. You’ll learn which essential oils for chakras work best, and how to use them for each of the 7 major energy centers of the body.
If you’re hoping to live a more connected life, this is not an article you want to miss – read all the way through to the end. Let’s start by discussing the link between essential oils and chakras.
Essential Oils and Chakras – Is There A Link?
If you’re not well versed in using essential oils for chakra balancing, you might be a bit skeptical. Is there really a link here?
There sure is. In fact, this is one of the best uses for essential oils. And once you’ve experienced it yourself firsthand, you’ll never doubt the power of essential oils again. While concrete science is lacking, anecdotal evidence is abundant in support of using essential oils to activate, maintain, or calm the seven chakras.
What Are The Best Essential Oils For Chakras?
We know that you’re eager to start using aromatherapy for chakras – but which ones should you use? In just a moment, we’ll give you a comprehensive breakdown on which essential oils to use to maintain, which essential oils to activate, and which essential oils to calm each of the seven chakras.
However, here is a quick list of some of the essential oils we recommend incorporating along your spiritual path in one way or another:
Frankincense oil
Vetiver oil
Angelica oil
Sandalwood oil
Cardamom oil
Ylang Ylang oil
Grapefruit oil
Lemon oil
Myrhh oil
As we mentioned earlier, the tricky part is determining which of the seven chakras you want to activate, maintain, or calm. From there, we can recommend a specific essential oil to help you along the way.
For example, you’ll use a different oil for activating the root chakra than you would for maintaining or calming the root chakra. Similarly, recommendations for activating, maintaining, or calming the solar plexus chakra will all differ as well. So, let’s dive deep into the world of essential oils and chakras!
How To Use Essential Oils To Activate, Maintain, or Calm The Chakras
It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for – how to use essential oils for chakra activation, maintenance, or calming. We’ll go through the following chakras today, offering recommendations to help you take your spiritual well being into your own hands:
Muladhara (root chakra)
Svadhisthana (sacral chakra)
Manipura (solar plexus chakra)
Anahata (heart chakra)
Vishudda (throat chakra)
Anja (third eye chakra)
Sahasrara (crown chakra)
Let’s start off with Muladhara.
Muladhara
Root chakra attributes to our basic needs, physical survival, safety, and sense of belonging. Someone with a root chakra imbalance may experience black and white thinking, pessimism or negative thinking about life. The root chakra is our energy in how we feel rooted, secure, and safe in the world that surrounds us.
Maintain – Frankincense Sacra oil
Frankincense comes from tree resin and carries with it a woodsy scent. It aids in soothing racing thoughts, promotes a connection to the natural world, and rounds out the other root chakra oils suggested. There are three different types of frankincense oil – but for maintaining Muladhara, we recommend Frankincense sacra.
Activate – Angelica oil
When deficient, what shows is a lack of confidence and grounding in personal reality. You may not have goals or feel self-destructive, and have feelings of being abandoned or unloved. Angelica has sensory powers to amplify the body’s aura.
To Calm – Vetiver oil
An overactive root chakra will rear stubbornness or be unwilling to expand one’s view. Smokey Vetiver has earthy notes that are perfect to banish anxiety, burnout, and insomnia.REVIVE recommends that you blend the pure essential oil with a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil, and massage it onto the soles of your feet or inner thigh.
Svadhisthana
Sacral chakra deals primarily with issues of relationship, pleasure, play, and creation. When underactive, its bearer exhibits mental rigidity, a lack of passion, denial of pleasure, and excessive boundaries. In excess, an overactive svadhisthana is characterized by addiction to pleasure, extreme, strong emotions (bipolar), oversensitivity, and emotional dependency.
Maintain – Sandalwood oil
Sandalwood is the essential oil for the sacral chakra as it promotes positive self-esteem and contentment with the self, Stimulating a spiritual love regulates hormones and the reproductive system.
Activate – Cardamom oil
Cardamom essential oil is taken from the seeds of the fruit. It has a fresh, spicy, and sweet aroma and has been used as a stimulant and as an aphrodisiac. It is comforting, stimulating, warming, and has the ability to bring out the lover in you.
To Calm – Ylang Ylangoil
A sweet intoxicating floral fragrance of ylang-ylang is best to reduce stress and insomnia. It enhances the feeling of gratitude and connection, whether it be in relationships or for material blessings.
REVIVE recommends that you blend the pure essential oil with a carrier like Rosehip Oil, and massage it onto the lower back and abdomen.
Manipura
The Solar Plexus Chakra regulates the feelings of self-esteem, self-respect, self-discipline, ambition, and courage. When the solar plexus chakra becomes imbalanced, fears of rejection, criticism, obesity and aging begin to kick in. This chakra also holds our confidence and independence, which allows us to take risks and flow with gut feelings.
Maintain – Grapefruitoil
Grapefruit aids in appreciation of the body for everything it has done, where it is now, and everything it will continue to do. Unreleased emotions are stored in the belly which leads to physical problems later.
Activate – Juniper Berryoil
Juniper Berry detoxifies and helps clear the liver. It strengthens willpower and eases the sense of fear of failure. This, in turn, supports the restoration of self-confidence and a sense of self-worth.
To Calm – Helichrysum oil
Helichrysum unclutters the heart, stimulates kindness for self and others, and unifies the body/mind/spirit connection. It can reveal and unravel habitual ways of thinking that keep people stuck in patterns of painful experiences.
REVIVE recommends that you blend the pure essential oil with a carrier oil like Golden Jojoba Oil and massage it onto the lower back and abdomen
Anahata
The heart chakra directly affects the heart, lungs, chest, arms, and hands. When misaligned, symptoms like poor circulation, high or low blood pressure, and other heart and lung conditions can result. Mentally, an imbalanced heart chakra can result in problematic issues, such as co-dependence, manipulative behaviors, feelings of unworthiness, and an inability to trust yourself or others.
Maintain – Geraniumoil
Geranium is incredible for balancing. This oil may ease mood swings and continue to keep joy in and compassion in your heart and soul.
Activate – Ylang Ylang oil
Ylang Ylang is a comforting and warming oil that can help to build a stronger connection through expression and emotional support. This oil may help you to give love and receive love more easily.
To Calm – Sweet Marjoram oil
This relaxing oil can calm an overactive heart chakra by providing a soothing stability. This may help to quiet a burning heart that is feeling way too much emotionally.
REVIVE recommends that you blend the pure essential oil with a carrier oil like Sweet Almond Oil and place it directly onto the center of the breast bone.
Vishudda
The throat chakra represents your ability to be your authentic self and express your truths. When out of balance, you may not be able to speak up for yourself, feel intensely shy, or even talking too much. Additionally, you may experience health issues like sore throats, neck pain, or even thyroid disorders.
Maintain – Chamomileoil
Roman Chamomile is great for alleviating anxious feelings or anger that may arise through your voice. It may also help you to communicate in a respectful way.
Activate – Citronellaoil
Citronella protects, cleanses, clear negative energies, and strengthen and purify one’s life force. It is beneficial in clearing the mind and encouraging expressions,. Citronella oil is used to stimulate the throat chakra and clarify communication.
To Calm – Cypressoil
With an overactive throat chakra, you may be overly critical and inauthentic. Cypress may aid in bringing strength and stability while calming frazzled nerves.
REVIVE recommends that you blend the pure essential oil with a carrier like Grapeseed Oil and apply in a circular motion to the throat area.
Anja
Anja or Third Eye Chakra is located in the center of your forehead is the link to the mind, awareness, and openness. When in balance, one may be intuitive and see the big picture with the ability to think more clearly. If this Chakra is blocked, you could experience fear of the future, rigid beliefs, and even difficulting seeing.
Maintain – Sandalwood oil
Sandalwood oil encourages the mind to have a greater sense of awareness and promotes a calm and collective feeling. Often used in religious ceremonies, this soothing oil encourages spiritual connection.
Activate – Lemon oil
To spark intuition and bring light to the pineal gland, add Lemon Essential Oil to your practice. This uplifting scent can help to awaken the third eye and expand your thought process.
Calm – Frankincense King oil
This mega calming oil supports relaxation and balance. Wonderful for meditation, Frankincense King can release fears and bring us back to our center helping create homeostasis.
REVIVE recommends that you inhale or diffuse these oils as needed for the Third Eye.
Sahasrara
The Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head and it represents spirituality and enlightenment. A balanced Crown inspires consciousness, purpose, and understanding. Being out of balance here may feel disconnected, egotistical, and close-minded.
Maintain – Myrrhoil
When keeping the Crown in balance, Myrrh can aid in continuing that spiritual connection. Known to enhance meditation, this oil may promote higher consciousness and a focused mind.
Activate – REVIVE Exhale oil
An incredible essential oil blend for emotional and spiritual stability, we love Exhale for its ability to encourage harmony and help you to release negativity. This blend can boost your ability to connect at a higher level.
Calm – Vanilla oil
If your crown chakra is overly active, you may feel a sense of elitism or even superior to others. To bring you back down to Earth and forge that spirit/body connection, we recommend using Vanilla Absolute. This scent will soften the harsh energy and promote peace while honoring the divine that surrounds you.
REVIVE recommends a room diffusion or creating a diffuser mist to surround your crown with these balancing Essential Oils.

Whether you live in a part of the country that gets snow in the wintertime, or you do not get to experience those little frozen flakes, it still seems like the snow is synonymous with the holidays. There is a crisp, cool scent that wafts through the air after freshly fallen snow. It is magical and mysterious. It is a scent that can easily put you back in time to a place where all of your favorite memories live… dressed up like a penguin, gathering with your friends, and sledding down that fluffy, white hill. Recreate that time and place in your own home with this blend.
Once you have come in from the snow, you might be looking to cuddle up in front of a warm fire. Essential Oils can produce that feeling of warmth for you, the same way those amber flames do. Deep, spicy scents like Clove and Cinnamon help to heat up your heart and soul.
Woody oils like Cedarwood and Cypress are grounding and calming. As a bonus, these oils are great for supporting a healthy respiratory system. Mixing them all together creates a blend that is sure to comfort you and induce feelings reminiscent of sitting by a cozy fire with your family and a hot cup of cocoa.
Mmmm! The smell of freshly baked cookies is definitely a favorite for most people, especially during the holidays. It is warm and sweet and a little spicy. It is incredibly welcoming, and a great smell to have in your home when company is on its way.
We don’t always have the opportunity to bake up a fresh batch of cookies, but we certainly can recreate the scent with a few fragrant Essential Oils. Maybe you will be so inspired, that you just might bake up a batch anyway.
Did you know that essential oils date back to biblical times and beyond? These precious oils are mentioned over 180 times in the Bible! In fact, the three wise men actually brought gifts of Frankincense and Myrrh to baby Jesus.
These referenced oils are very useful to help enhance feelings of spirituality. Frankincense is amazing for regulating breathing and helping you feel rooted. Myrrh Essential Oil is earthy and relaxing, but can also encourage spiritual awakening. Hyssop is often referred to as the “Holy Herb” and is beneficial when needing purification. All three of these biblical oils can create an uplifting Christmas blend that can help you feel more centered during the holidays.
The holidays are a beautiful time of year. It’s incredibly meaningful to give to others and spend time with family, but often it can be overwhelming. Between the shopping, cooking, traveling, and money spent, sometimes you just want to have a “silent night” at home.
This blend is specifically for that. Mix these calming oils together and use in your diffuser to create a serene space that can help you unwind and renew during this busy time of year.
There you have it – the top essential oil diffuser blend recipes for this upcoming winter season. You’re just about ready to unlock endless holiday cheer in your home through the power of essential oil!
