Have you ever smelled something that immediately reminded you of a fond summer memory from your childhood? Perhaps it was the smell of the woods from summer camp, a family vaca to the beach or grandma’s house.
Smell is a powerful sense in the human body and it triggers memory more than any other sense. Did you know that by diffusing essential oils you can uplift, transform, and change your home in minutes. Diffuser blends are a perfect way to set the tone for your home, to recall memories from your favorite vacation, or to support your wellness.
For these fun summer related diffuser blends you will need a few of the basic essential oils like Citronella, Lemon, Bergamot, Orange and Lemon. If you don’t have an essential oil that is needed for a particular “recipe” just experiment with what you have.
In the six years that I’ve been diffusing in my home there has only been a couple of combos that I didn’t like and I just added a drop or two of an oil to compliment what was already in the diffuser.
Is there a science to blending? Yes, and it uses a top note, middle note, and bottom note…just like the perfume industry. If you are interested in learning more I recommend “The Art of Blending with Essential Oils”. Basically, don’t overthink it and start with one or two essential oils…be adventurous…you really can’t go wrong.
