Essential Oil Diffuser Recipes for Spring

As the seasons change, there’s nothing better than opening the windows, letting in the fresh air, and filling your home with clean, uplifting scents.

These Essential Oil Diffuser Recipes for Spring are perfect for spring and a great way to freshen up your space naturally.

If you’re trying to ditch synthetic air fresheners, candles, or sprays filled with hidden chemicals, essential oils are a simple and effective alternative.

Why Use Essential Oils?

One of the first steps I took toward living more naturally was replacing store-bought air fresheners with essential oils.

I was shocked to learn that the word “fragrance” on a label can be a catch-all for dozens—even hundreds—of undisclosed ingredients. That realization made me want to be more mindful about the products I use in my home.

Diffusing essential oils is one of the easiest ways to make your home smell amazing without all those questionable ingredients.

Plus, many oils have extra benefits like boosting your mood, supporting relaxation, and cleansing the air.

How to Use a Diffuser

Using a diffuser is really simple:

Fill the water reservoir to the fill line. Add 6–8 drops of essential oil (use one of the recipes below). Replace the lid and turn it on.

Be sure to follow your diffuser’s instructions, but most work the same way.
