Relaxing Woodsy
Sweetly Sensual
Cinnamon Spice Diffuser Blend
This earthy, spicy blend is perfect for warming up your house in the colder months.
Homey and comforting! (Also has powerful antiviral and antibacterial action - good for flu season.) Add a drop of ylang ylang if you like a hint of floral sweetness. If not, just leave it out.

- 3 to 5 drops Sweet Orange essential oil

Caution: Do not use this aromatherapy diffuser oil in aromatherapy nebulizers - they can't take viscous (thick) oils.
Floral Lavender Diffuser Blend
This relaxing blend smells like a field of summer flowers. Use it to calm and relax cranky, agitated or anxious people.
It's also ideal for helping you relax for sleep - a sweet night-time retreat for your bedroom.

- 2 to 3 drops Palmarosa essential oil
- 2 to 3 drops Rose Geranium essential oil
Fresh Mint Diffuser Blend
Cool and refreshing, this sweet, minty blend is great for hot summer evenings. The citronella should help reduce the bugs too!
To give it a lemony tint, add a drop of lemongrass essential oil. This blend will clear your head, boost your energy and focus your mind (great for studying.)

This is another good germ killer. All these essential oils boost your immune system and slow down the spread of viruses and bacteria.
Relaxing Woodsy Diffuser Blend
Deep and rich with a hint of sweetness, this relaxing blend is perfect for an evening of quiet, candlelit conversation.
It's a nice aromatherapy diffuser essential oil for men (with the palmarosa) because it's not too girly.
Adding a drop of vetiver will give this recipe a smoky undertone.

- 2 drops Orange OR Petitgrain essential oil
- 1 drop Palmarosa or Ylang Ylang essential oil
- Optional: 1 drop Vetiver essential oil

This is another wonderful cold weather blend, and a good one for the bedroom, being both
deeply relaxing and also aphrodisiac.
