Easy Essential Oil Recipe for Your Diffuser
Frankincense, Myrrh, and orange oil blend together wonderfully and remind us of familiar holiday smells — woodsy, warm, and slightly spicy. Below are just a few of the benefits associated with using each of these oils.
- Frankincense reduces stressful reactions and negative emotions, improves memory, and enhances immunity.
- Myrrh oil promotes relaxation and has immune-boosting properties, as well as releases antioxidants into the air.
- Orange oil has a sedative effect, so it promotes relaxation and calm. Orange has an uplifting effect so it is great for elevating moods.
Here is a diffuser blend that makes your home smell wonderful and gives you all of the benefits of essential oils.
Don’t have a diffuser? Blend essential oils and add them to 15ml of carrier oil. Transfer to a festive container and place in a warm area with lots of airflow. The below recipe can also be used to create a blend for a reed diffuser by doubling the measurements and adding it to 30ml of carrier oil such as grapeseed oil.
