Fresh, Clean, Crisp ~ essential oils to celebrate Autumn

I love this time of year…..crisp clean air, empty beaches to explore, cozy sweaters!

I also love the scents that this time of year inspires. I think of my mom’s delicious apple pie, Chai tea, my sister Jan’s pumpkin bread and applesauce cake – yum! And my other sister, Yvonne’s, favorite – cinnamon rolls (my mom makes these with the leftover crust from pies she makes and my sister and I fight over them – still .

The change of seasons also moves me to create some fall-inspired scents.

Here are some essential oils I wouldn’t be without this time of year:

• Clove bud

• Ginger

• Patchouli

• Cardamom

• Sandalwood

• Cinnamon leaf

• Sweet orange

And here’s one of my favorite diffuser blends for a delicious Autumn aromatic atmosphere:
2 drops Clove bud
2 drops Sweet orange
1 drop Cinnamon leaf
1 drop Cardamom

Mix the above blend in a small amber glass bottle or just add the drops right to your diffuser, but remember to always follow the instructions that came with your diffuser type and also if it’s a candle diffuser, don’t leave it unattended!

The change of the seasons seems to happen overnight. Our bodies also go through an adjustment period as well, especially our skin. Pay attention to your skin and use body oils to keep your skin hydrated while we transition into the colder months.

Inhale~Enjoy~Exhale!
