5 DIY Essential Oil Blends You Can Make At Home

Essential oils are a wonderful assistant when you want to make a lifestyle change. While the oils are lovely on their own, here are some blends that offer more power in every drop. And yes — you can make these blends at home!

While building your blends, remember that you can work by the drop or substitute drop for “part.” By doing so, you can make larger batches and ensure that you always have the oils you need!

    Focus Blend

    2 drops of vetiver, 1 drop of peppermint, 1 drop of eucalyptus 

    The Focus blend, as the name suggests, helps you concentrate on the task at hand. Starting with vetiver, you will recognize the aroma because this is one the first pure fragrances to be sold on the cosmetics market. Vetiver helps you feel more alert, helping you get the day started sooner.

    Diffuse vetiver oil while you sleep to maintain a deep sleep and to get through all your REM cycles. Additionally, you breathe easy during your sleep, helping anyone who snores. 

    Eucalyptus oil is one of the pillars of aromatherapy, found in basically every aromatherapy line you will see. You can drop it in a hot shower to wake yourself up, or you can use it for topical pain relief. You can also fight a cold or allergies and the mucus buildup that comes with these conditions. 

    Add to that peppermint oil which helps with stress and anxiety, and you can get the day started without dread or delay.

    2 drops of lavender, 1 drop of frankincense

    Lavender is the soothing oil you need if you are trying to relax at the end of the day. The Relaxing blend requires a drop of frankincense so that you can combat the rigors of a long day. You are most vulnerable to illness or injury when you are tired, and frankincense starts the recovery process immediately.

    While lavender is antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiseptic, and even serves as an antidepressant, it also combats anxiety, helps you sleep, and fights insomnia.
