Did your mom mix up a pot of warming spices such as cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, and nutmeg in a pan of water on the stovetop when you were a kid?

Nowadays it’s a diffuser we use to create different scents in our home.

If you’re like me you are always looking for new combinations and ways to use your oils so I collected some of the best fall blends I could find and posted them here for you.

These blends can be adjusted to use in your body scrubs, homemade candles, lotions, and carpet freshener recipes.

Sandalwood Essential Oil

Sweet sandalwood oil imparts a woodsy, grounding aroma so it’s a perfect essential oil to offset the sharpness of citrus and spice.

Derived from seeds of the cardamom plant which is commonly dried and used to spice baked goods, cardamom is typically praised in aromatherapy uses for improving respiratory function.

Pumpkin Seed Oil

We all think of pumpkins for decorations but I recently learned about the benefits of Pumpkin Seed Oil.

It’s not an essential oil but a carrier oil for your essential oils.

Use it as your base in your skincare blends or body lotions.

Unrefined pumpkin seed oil is rich in antioxidants, omega-3, and -6 fatty acids.

Its anti-inflammatory properties make it is great for skin and hair.

It can also be taken orally for as a great source for plant-based fatty acids and has been used to support cardiovascular, prostate health and to support the urinary system.

Read reviews on Amazon for both the oil and supplement.

Fall And Autumn Diffuser Blends

These blends use some of the oils mentioned above and others that mix well to make your home smell great.

Adapt these blends as you see fit and feel free to use more or fewer drops to get just the scent you want.

The great thing about diffusing oils is that you can’t mess it up.

What To Look For In A Diffuser

Essential oil diffusers have become a sanitizing, mood-conjuring mainstay for many health-conscious modern mamas.

I’ve got 1 in each of my girl’s rooms and another for mine.

If you look on Amazon you’ll find a variety of diffusers with differing price ranges.

My favorite (see it here) actually cost me under $20 and it makes a great gift.

Here’s what to look for:

Cool Mist – this type of humidifier won’t cause mold growth. If you use oils like cinnamon, clove, peppermint, and tea tree oil you will actually deter mold.

Auto Shut-Off – this is important because if you use it at night you will fall asleep. You want your diffuser to shut off when it runs out of water or after a certain time that passes.

Whisper-Quiet Function – a nearly soundless operation means that you won’t be disturbed while sleeping. An occasional trickle of water, which is barely audible and just lets you know that the unit is functioning properly.

Optional Light – depending on the type of diffuser you purchase, you may have a “light on/off” switch or you may be able to choose the shade of color that is displayed when the LED light is on. Either way, this gives you an option on how much light in the room if you use it at night.
