I love to diffuse essential oils.
They have the ability to clean the air from free radicals, help relieve seasonal discomfort, and increase your focus or decrease your stress. Plus, they smell amazing.
But it can be tricky to know which oils to use together…pick the right ones and you have a home run. Pick the wrong ones and you are dumping your concoction down the drain.
So here are 57 essential oil diffuser blend recipes for mind, body and soul.
57 Essential Oil Diffuser Blend Recipes for Mind, Body & Soul
Here are a couple of things to note before you start diffusing.
- You need a cool-air diffuser. These diffusers usually require a small amount of distilled water to be added along with essential oils. Note: Cold air diffusers ranges vary, with most around 250 feet. So if you are trying to diffuse your bedroom and living room, most likely you will need two diffusers. This one is my favorite for the money and size/features.
- You need essential oils. (If you are new to essential oils, here is how I use them in my everyday life.)
- Diffuser recipes use between 8 – 12 drops of oil.
- Some recipes have several variations. It’s not that one recipe is better or worse than another, it’s that each person’s body chemistry is different and each oil can affect it differently. Feel free to experiment to find the one that works for you.

Everyone’s body is very different and responds differently to different oils. If these blends don’t work for you, there are many other recipes available.

These look really good. I am anxious to try. I was wondering if it makes a difference if the diffuser is larger. I have a 300 ml one. Would I use more EO for this or just go w less water w these recipes?
I would try one out and adjust to personal preference, just keep the ratios about the same 🙂
Do you mix the essential oils together before putting them in the diffuser???
No. I do not.
the diffuser states to not use more than 5 drops. I’m thinking I have to make a blend first. No?
Thank you so much for all these recipes. I love to have some new ideas!
Newbie question, where you have multiple recipes for something, what makes you choose one over another?
Thank you for sharing your diffuser recipes. I’m always trying to find new ideas for diffuser blends
Sweet orange and lemongrass smell great in a diffuser also
