This fall essential oil blend is a great way to naturally scent your home for the season.
When autumn arrives in the midwest, it conjures up all kinds of warm and toasty feelings for those of us who appreciate the changing seasons. Trees turn beautiful shades of red and yellow, falling leaves crunch under our heels, the nights turn cooler, and sweater weather begins.
Fall is also harvest season for our apples and pumpkins, which means welcoming the flavors of fall. Hello, pumpkin spice.
Harvest Season and the Aroma of Warming Spices
Harvest season brings to mind warming spices like cinnamon and clove, sipping warm apple cider around a glowing fire, and a walk in the woods on a crisp fall day. Fall essential oil blends bring those warm, cozy aromas into your home.
Creating an Aromatherapy Essential Oil Blend

Simply combine a carrier oil with your favorite essential oils and, depending on the ingredients you choose, you can create unique scent combinations that evoke warm, relaxing, and joyful emotions. Essential oils can set the mood for any occasion.
Aromatherapy has been used for centuries. When the scents are inhaled they impact the emotional center of the brain. Beyond evoking good emotions, there’s not enough research to determine if they are a cure for any disease.
FAQs About Using Reed Diffusers
A high-traffic area or a side table near the entrance of your home is the best place to get your fall fragrance to disperse.
The reeds get clogged over time and the oils get gummy. Change the reeds and oil every two to three weeks to keep the scent fresh.
Diffusers don’t wear out, there are no moving parts. They need to be maintained, like washing out the diffuser with soap and water once per month and flipping over the diffuser reeds once per week. This will keep the scent from fading.
