As the days grow longer and nature begins to bloom, there’s an undeniable shift in energy. Spring is all about renewal, balance, and shedding the heaviness of winter—both physically and emotionally. And what better way to embrace the season than with an essential oil blend that captures its essence?
I wanted to create something that feels like a breath of fresh spring air—a blend that awakens the senses, lifts the spirit, and brings a sense of calm and balance. The result? Spring Awakening, a carefully curated mix of essential oils inspired by the colours and energies of the season.
The inspiration behind the blend
Each oil was chosen not only for its scent but for the feeling it evokes. This blend is designed to awaken the senses, uplift the spirit, and bring a sense of balance—just like the arrival of spring itself.
Lemon (4 drops)
Nothing says "fresh start" like lemon. Its crisp, citrusy scent is like sunlight breaking through the clouds—energising, cleansing, and full of life. I included lemon essential oil to bring mental clarity, boost mood, and add a zesty brightness to the blend.
Geranium (3 drops)
Spring is a time of blossoming, both in nature and within ourselves. Geranium essential oil embodies this with its soft, floral scent that balances emotions and nurtures the heart. The colour pink represents self-love, harmony, and joy—exactly the energy we need as we step into spring.
Lavender (3 drops)
Even with all the excitement of new beginnings, we need moments of calm. Lavender essential oil is a classic for relaxation and stress relief. Its soft, herbaceous floral aroma soothes the nervous system, making it the perfect addition to bring balance to the blend.
Peppermint (2 drops)
Imagine the first warm day of spring with a crisp, cool breeze—that’s peppermint. Its fresh, invigorating scent awakens the mind and body, helping to clear away sluggishness and embrace a new season with clarity and vitality.
Cedarwood (2 drops)
With all this light, freshness, and floral beauty, we need something to keep us steady. Cedarwood essential oil provides a warm, earthy depth to the blend, keeping us grounded and connected to nature, just like the sturdy trees that bloom anew every spring.
How to Use the Spring Awakening Blend
This blend is as versatile as the season itself. Here are a few ways to enjoy it:
In a diffuser: Add 4-6 drops to your diffuser to fill your space with springtime freshness.
In a roller bottle: Mix with a carrier oil (like jojoba or sweet almond) in a roller bottle for a spring-inspired personal perfume.
In a bath: Add a few drops to a warm bath with Epsom salts for a relaxing and uplifting soak.
As a room spray: Combine with water and a little witch hazel in a spray bottle for a natural air freshener.
On a diffuser bracelet: Apply a drop to the raw wood or lava rock beads of your essential oil diffuser bracelet for a portable burst of spring energy throughout the day. You can check out my collection here.
*Be careful around pets as lemon and peppermint oils can be harmful to dogs and also lavender to cats. Always make sure your pet can leave the room where you are diffusing essential oils.
