Premium Starter Bundle Diffuser Recipes

There are endless combinations you can try in your diffuser, but for a beginner, where do you start? These 5 Premium Starter Bundle Diffuser Recipes are simple and delightful.

Diffusing essential oils is one of my favorite ways to use them in our home every day. I reach for different oils depending on what’s going on in our lives. We diffuse in our kitchen to get rid of strong food odors. We diffuse at night to relax before bed. Our whole family loves trying new essential oils and finding combinations that make us feel wonderful and make our home smell amazing!

We hope these recipes will inspire you to try your own combinations.

Premium Starter Bundle Diffuser Recipes

When you first start diffusing it’s important to remember to start low and go slow.

One or two drops of oil are usually plenty when you’re first experiencing oils. It takes some time for your body to get used to oils when you are first starting.

Pay attention to the recommendations on the oil bottle to see how long to diffuse each one. Some oils should only be diffused for 20 – 30 minutes at a time. Essential oils are extremely concentrated plant extracts and it’s important to follow label instructions.

The best part about diffusing essential oils? You don’t have to wait to have a huge collection of oils to enjoy diffusing different combinations. The Premium Starter Bundle from Young Living comes with several essential oils that are perfect to diffuse. You can choose to diffuse essential oils one at a time, but we love to mix and match oils for creative combinations of diffuser blend recipes.

Keep in mind that it’s recommended not to diffuse a blend with another blend. You can mix and match single oils or add another single oil to one blend, but don’t diffuse two different blends in the same diffuser.

How can you know if a combination is going to smell great diffused?

You don’t have to start out by pouring them into your diffuser. Convince yourself that you are going to love this blend by giving it a sniff right out of the bottle. Open the bottles and hold them in your hands together. Then pass them about 6 inches under your nose and inhale smoothly and deeply. You’ll know if it’s the right blend for your mood. If that one didn’t strike your fancy, don’t give up. Just move to the next combination or sub out another essential oil. It’s all up to you. These are just a few ideas to get you started.


5 Premium Starter Bundle Diffuser Recipes

Lemon and Peppermint

  • 2 drops Lemon Essential Oil
  • 1 drop Peppermint Essential Oil

This combination is perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up. The bright fragrance is uplifting and energizing. I love this to give me a boost to get through those long hours after school and before dinner.

Lavender and Copaiba

  • 3 drops Lavender Essential Oil
  • 1 drop Copaiba Essential Oil

I love this recipe for easing tension. If I’m a little stressed from the hustle and bustle of the day I diffuse floral Lavender and earthy Copaiba to give me some peace and dissolve all my cares away.

Frankincense and Lemon

  • 2 drops Frankincense Essential Oil
  • 2 drops Lemon Essential Oil

Diffusing these two oils creates such an atmosphere of quiet reflections. The woodsy, warm, fresh aroma is an excellent choice for times of prayer, quiet, or meditation.

Citrus Fresh and Thieves

  • 3 drops Citrus Fresh Essential Oil
  • 1 drop Thieves Essential Oil

Sometimes things just stink. That’s the way it is in my house anyway. When we need to eliminate odors and freshen the air we diffuse this combination. It has definitely helped us many times after a big gathering of teenage athletes or a dinner has gone way wrong.

Stress Away and Lavender

  • 2 drops Stress Away Essential Oil
  • 2 drops Lavender Essential Oil

For soothing and relaxing, my family’s #1 choice is this combination of Stress Away and Lavender. The vanilla and cedarwood in the Stress Away blend along with the classic, herbal peacefulness of Lavender are perfect for bedtime. Diffusing this before bed is a great way to wind down after a long day.

    Peppermint and stress away is a good combo and it smells like candy canes in the house.

      We always recommend using distilled water in a diffuser. It helps prevent build up. If you don’t have distilled water try using purified water.
