The main way we use essential oils every day is through diffusing. With kids, and responsibilities, and life happening nonstop, it’s important to find time to relax and unwind. These Relaxing Diffuser Recipes will help you kick back and sink into a moment of peace.


11 Relaxing Diffuser Blend Recipes from RecipeswithEssentialOils.com

To start, let’s talk about a few essential oils that are legendary for helping with relaxation.

From our research, these essential oils can help promote a sense of calm and peace when diffused.

  • Clary Sage
  • Frankincense
  • Geranium
  • German Chamomile
  • Jasmine
  • Lavender
  • Lemon
  • Marjoram
  • Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood
  • Ylang Ylang
  • Vetiver

Some popular essential oil blends that we also love for creating a calming environment are:

  • Citrus Fresh
  • Gentle Baby
  • Sacred Mountain
  • Stress Away
  • Valor
  • White Angelica

There are many reasons why people choose to diffuse essential oils. These Relaxing Diffuser Recipes focus on a few main essential oil attributes to allow you to genuinely experience a state of calm. These were some of the goals we had as we developed our recipes:

  • Helps ease the mind from worry and normal, everyday stress
  • Assists in releasing tension
  • Clears the mind to allow you to be fully in the moment
  • Provides a sense of grounding and security where you’re able to let loose

These essential oils are great on their own, and you can certainly diffuse an individual oil or blend. However, when you blend them they can amplify the relaxing effects to help create a peaceful aroma and calming effect on the mind and body.

    Wow, what a great resource! How did I ever miss this site? You have really interesting articles and lots of great recipies to incorporate into my daily adventure. Keep up the good work – you’re providing some excellent information that is missing from the mainstream. Maybe in the future you could provide some very basic information on the blends you use. There’s a huge number of EO enthusiasts who don’t subscribe to the Young Living idea. Thanks for all of your hard work. The effort really shows!
