How To: Blend Your Fall Aromas

October 13, 2015

While almost all essential oils have soothing properties, certain types of oils have a stronger effect when you use the right blends and mix them with oils that will complement it.

Fall is the perfect season to try blending and mixing oils to create that perfect addition to your diffuser.

A Word Of Caution Before You Make The Blend

Before you start the blending, remember that the spice essential oils are very strong and you need to be very careful with the amount you use, as a little is enough to make your entire room feel fragrant. Also, using too much of the same could end up irritating your nose and in some cases, can also trigger headaches or cold.

In order to get the best out of your spicy essential oils, such as clove or cinnamon, it is always best to blend them with gentler oils such as sweet orange. As is the case with any oil, before applying it to your skin, always blend it with a base oil such as coconut or almond oil.

Try out these warmly delicious blends that will make your home feel that much more cozy.
