DIY Warming Spice Essential Oil Blend Recipe
Photo by: Aleksandra Tanasiienko
Spicy, warming, cozy, and uplifting! Add this simple blend to an essential oil diffuser, a pot of simmering water on the stovetop, or to a tea kettle atop a fireplace to make your entire home smell amazing.
Recipe:
- 10 drops sweet orange essential oil
- 3 drops cinnamon essential oil
- 2 drops cardamom essential oil
- 1 drop clove bud essential oil
- 1 drop ginger essential oil
Tip: you can transform this into an aromatherapy spray by placing the essential oils into a 2oz bottle, and fill to the top with water, Shake well before misting.
P.S. If you don't have some of the essential oils, that's totally okay ~ or, if you feel as though you'd like a little less orange, a little more ginger, or would like to add some nutmeg or allspice, go for it! This recipe is totally adaptable and will still smell festive and wonderful!

This caught my eye so much that I hope you don’t get mad but I actually saw an opportunity to use my beloved helichrysum italicum and saffron with it. Now of course this would not be for me and the recipe is still yours I just I was so relieved to find anything that I could grasp at that wasn’t pumpkin pie and cinnamon and apple and ugh I’m still in my head you know with the mango ginger and tangerine type thing and hibiscus so for me pumpkin is just disgusting plus I’m 51 years old so yeah Thanksgiving is no longer my thing hasn’t been for a long time LOL thank you thank you for saving me from this nightmare:-) I highly recommend this recipe.
