Diffusing essential oils is a great way to make your home smell good, the bonus with essential oils is they affect our moods and mindsets.
These oils are known for their mood and/or energy boosting qualities. Some of these may not be safe to use around young children or pets, or if you are pregnant or nursing, so please be sure that you are using oils that are safe.
My go-to is:
- 3 drops lemon
- 3 drops lime
- 1 drops basil

Great list! We could always use an energy boost! 🙂 Thank you for sharing with us on the Art of Home-Making Mondays at Strangers & Pilgrims on Earth! 🙂
This is interesting. I’m always looking for more info on oils and usage. Thanks!
I love using my essential oils, but I’ve never blended them. I’ve only used purchased blends! I need to be diffusing more often!
What a great list! And thank you for the notes about ones to avoid while pregnant/nursing. There are a few I have been using that I need to hold off on until this pregnancy is over!
Thanks so much for sharing which oils are NOT safe during pregnancy and when you have littles around. Which resources are your favorite for learning about those that are safe and those that aren’t?
The HippyHomemaker’s site is the easiest, but Dr Tisserands book is the most thorough.
