These essential oils for fall scents will definitely make your home smell like fall. I love the cooler weather seasons – fall (also called autumn) and winter…. Yeah I know I’m in the minority!

Actually while a lot of people feel excited about summer, I feel the opposite. Maybe because I sweat a lot… thanks to my dad because it’s one of the many things I inherited from him!

But to be honest, I don’t function well in hot weather. It disorganizes my system and actually makes me sick. So you can understand why I feel excited about fall and winter… they are my best months of the year.

And I love the colorful foliage as well as the fresh crisp autumn air!

Diffusing those essential oils that remind me about autumn is another thing I enjoy doing. I believe you do too… that’s why you are reading this right!

How to Use a Diffuser

Essential oils are highly concentrated, so you’ll only need to use a few drops of each of these essential oils for Autumn Diffuser Blends.

The size of your diffuser will determine how many drops of oils that you’ll use. For a 100 ml diffuser, add just 3 to 5 drops of oils. Use 6-10 drops for a 200 ml diffuser.

Some of these recipes call for more drops than you should use with your diffuser. For these recipes, create a master blend in an empty glass bottle. 

You can double or triple the recipe in an empty bottle and then use that to add to your diffuser.

You should only use your diffuser for 30 to 60 minutes at a time. After that, turn it off and give yourself time to rest. 

Too much exposure to essential oils can cause headaches, dizziness, eye irritation, or nausea.  

You can use an essential oil diffuser two or three times a day in shorter intervals.

Essential Oil Safety

Essential oils are natural, but that does not mean that they are safe for everyone. 

Some people can be allergic to oils, or due to other health problems cannot be around some essential oils. Some oils can’t be diffused around dogs, cats, birds, or other pets.

It’s not recommended that you diffuse around children under 2. Some oils can be diffused around children ages 2 to 10.  

Be sure to check the recommended ages for each of the oils in the Autumn Diffuser Blends and essential oils listed above. 

Also, check to make sure that the oils are safe for pets and pregnant or nursing women if they will be in the home.
