Looking for some essential oil recipes? You have come to the right place! I have filed away every recipe on this site that uses essential oils. You’ll find cleaning recipes, personal care recipes, as well as diffuser blends you can use throughout the seasons. Enjoy!

Tons of recipes using essential oils, whether for cleaning or personal hygiene

Essential oils are everywhere! Perhaps you have a friend or family member that sells them. Maybe you’ve seen them as you scroll your social media feed… but what do you actually do with them? I know the feeling. I originally bought a kit of essential oils, and I wasn’t sure what to do with most of them. I decided to start compiling a list of all the ways I’ve used different essential oils over the years; and it continues to grow as I add more oils to my collection. The oils are listed in alphabetical order for your convenience, starting with recipes using a single essential oil (like lemon, lavender, or peppermint), then recipes using blends (like immune supporting blends), and finally diffuser blends for creating wonderful mixes in your diffuser.

Unsure of where to buy essential oils? Check out this post.
