The following blends are wonderful room scents to use during the holiday season. The easiest way to use them is in a diffuser (we have four different essential oil diffusers available at the store) that uses ultrasonic vibrations to create a fine aromatherapy mist.
These holiday blends can also be used as a room spray with water in an atomizer (we have empty glass spray bottles available at the store) or in lotions or any number of DIY beauty products.
The oil concentrations below are appropriate for a diffuser, though you can increase or decrease the amount of oil based on your preference and how strong you want it to smell.
Holiday Spice Blend
This blend is one of my favorites for the holidays. We frequently have it in the diffuser at the store and I always get compliments on it. Now only does it smell great, but cinnamon, clove, and lemongrass have strong antibacterial qualities and orange oil is fantastic for boosting mood and reducing anxiety.
4 drops cinnamon bark essential oil
3 drops clove essential oil
3 drops orange essential oil
1 drop lemongrass essential oil (optional)
Peace and Harmony Blend
Patchouli is my favorite smelling oil- it's rich and comforting. It is also an oil that improves with age, so hiding an extra bottle in the back of a drawer is not a bad idea. Patchouli is also a very calming and centering oil, that combines with the scent and benefits of orange oil wonderfully.
4 drops patchouli essential oil
4 drops vanilla essential oil
3 drops orange essential oil
Pomander Blend
4 drops orange essential oil
4 drops clove essential oil
2 drops vanilla essential oil (optional)

Royal Peace Blend
Myrrh and frankincense were the gifts brought to the baby Jesus by the wise men. Myrrh helps to reduce stress and frankincense is purifying and is frequently used in meditation blends, so the combination is perfect for the season as well as anytime you need some extra peace and tranquility.
4 drops myrrh essential oil
4 drops frankincense essential oil
