What are the best essential oil blends?
What you should really be asking is what essential oils smell good together? The best smelling essential oil blends are primarily those that sit next to each other on the essential oil blending wheel. It’s all about how the brain processes aroma. For example, popular spring floral essential oil aromas are paired best with either floral, citrus, or exotic essential oils. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with experimenting outside of the blending wheel because experimenting is half the fun! Right?
In this case, we’ve done the work for you by creating a collection of the best spring essential oil blends. You’ll find uplifting lemongrass diffuser blends, calming essential oil blends with jasmine, and even those for the all-important task of spring cleaning!

1. Make An Essential Oil Sleep Spray
Essential oils are one of the best things you can use to help you fall asleep fast! And the easiest way to use essential oils for sleep is in a spray.
What is sleep spray? A sleep spray, also known as pillow spray or mist, is an aromatherapy spray designed for sleep. It is made with a combination of essential oils shown to support sleep. Like the “In the Garden” recipe above. If you’ve tried a number of things to fall asleep without success – then you won’t want to miss these easy essential oil recipes for DIY sleep sprays.

Diffusing essential oils is so easy. What essential oils are good for diffusers? Truly, I haven’t found any I didn’t like in our diffusers.
How many drops of essential oil can you put in a diffuser? Our spring essential oil blends are already designed to use as a diffuser recipe. All you have to do is add water to your diffuser and combine each drop of essential oil from any recipe above. Then press the button to turn it on.
