Fall essential oil sets (from Plant Therapy)
If you prefer a custom fall blend where you don’t have to figure out which oils to use, check out these fall essential oil sets from Plant Therapy.
They smell so, so good and the best part is that your custom blend is already ready for diffusing!
5. Fall Rain
If you love those crisp fall walks, then you will LOVE the Fall Rain blend.
It really does remind me of an evening walk on a fall day with the woodsy aroma of Douglas Fir and Juniper.
Another great way to use this blend? Add 10-15 drops to an aromatherapy inhaler and inhale as needed to ease congestion and calm the body.
6. Vanilla Synergy
If pumpkin isn’t your scent of choice, then you need to try the Vanilla Synergy blend. It has such a yummy, sweet smell.
If you love the scent of vanilla then you will love this one. It almost reminds me of a vanilla chai latte!
This would be a great blend to add to a cotton pad inserted into a hot pad, as it will release it’s aroma as the hot dish is placed on the pad.
Or, add a few drops to your favorite unscented lotion before applying to the skin.
7. Harvest Moon
Harvest Moon reminds me of freshly fallen autumn leaves crunching beneath my feet on a crisp fall day.
The blend of Bergamot, Cedarwood, Fir Needle, Juniper Berry, and Cardamom really does provide a woodsy, crisp blend with a hint of sweetness.
Even better, this blend is a great option to ease congestion if you happen to catch a cold or add to your favorite carrier and apply to sore or overtaxed muscles.
Be sure to get these blends while they are available!
create your own fall essential oil blends
If you’re feeling adventurous, then it’s definitely time to start creating your own signature blends for the season.
But how do you start?
The scents that remind me of fall include:
Citrus – Orange, Bergamot
Woodsy – Balsam Fir, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Juniper
Spicy – Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger
Then, combine one from each category.
I like to keep it to about three oils and a maximum of 8-10 drops is usually sufficient for diffusing.
It depends on the size of your diffuser but this amount is a good, general estimate for most average-sized diffusers.
Bonus: Don’t start adding those oils to your diffuser until you do a quick sniff test.
If an oil smells strong (the spicy essential oil family) use fewer drops — one is often enough (and more drops of the lighter scented oils).
Strong oils like Clove or Cinnamon will quickly overpower other scents so use a light hand.
It’s all about experimenting and finding what your family loves — but keep your experimenting safe (and that means limiting spicy, hot oils).
