The Best Essential Oil Blends for Fall

Its October and cold northern air is whipping through my boys’ fleeces at the bus stop. That one coughs, and this one wipes his nose on his sleeve. As the bus pulls up with foggy, finger-smudged windows, I can’t help but think of it as an incubator for winter ick.

I wave goodbye and walk home with the dog, brainstorming ways to keep my family healthy this season.

I’m greeted back home by the warm scents of cinnamon and clove. No, I’m not baking…it’s the oil diffuser loaded with my favorite fall essential oils. I can do many things to support my family’s health this season; reducing sugar intake, putting everyone to bed on time, and making sure that my boys are dressed appropriately for the weather. I have also chosen to use essential oils to support our immune and respiratory systems.

The Best Essential Oil Blends for Fall

Derived from the leaves, roots, flowers, and bark of plants, pure essential oils are concentrated liquids containing aromatic and beneficial compounds that work in harmony with our bodies. Humans have been using them for centuries to support their health and well-being

When the weather gets cold, I prepare by pulling out blankets, coats, mittens, hats, and high quality essential oils. Shared below are some of my favorites!

Cinnamon Bark essential oil promotes a healthy immune response. Try combining 5 drops of cinnamon bark with 1 drop each of clove and nutmeg in your diffuser for an inviting pumpkin spice scent!

Clove essential oil promotes a healthy immune response, and may support overall wellness.

3. Germ Fighter

When rubbed on the bottoms of the feet, Germ Fighter may support a healthy immune function. This is another fantastic oil to diffuse…especially when the kids get home from school!

Created just for kids, Sniffle Stopper feels warm and comforting on the chest and supports respiratory health.

Energizing peppermint essential oil supports normal digestion, and promotes healthy intestinal function and gastrointestinal system comfort.

6. Pine and Eucalyptus Globulus

Combine pine and eucalyptus globulus 1:1 with carrier oil and rub on your chest to support a healthy respiratory system. I also like this combination in the diffuser.

7. Abundance

Abundance is created to enhance “the law of attraction,” which refers to the things we attract to ourselves. It has a warm, spicy fragrance simply perfect for fall. I love to put it in the diffuser and on my wrists.

8. Frankincense and Lavender

Combine frankincense and lavender 1:1 with a thick carrier oil, then smooth over lips for soft, healthy skin.

Orange and lemon essential oils smell wonderful with spicy oils! Combine 5 drops of orange with 1 drop each of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg in the diffuser for a comforting orange spice scent.

10. Ginger

Ginger essential oil supports a healthy lifestyle regimen and has a delicious, spicy fragrance. Diffuse 1 drop each of ginger and patchouli with 6 drops of orange for a crisp fall scent.
