Our Pick: 10 Diffuser Oil Blends Worth Trying
Essential oil diffusers have become very popular recently, and almost every home you walk into has at least one essential oil diffuser going in any given room. The benefits of a diffuser are endless, and it is easy to see why everyone has one.
However, they simply pop a few drops of their go-to essential oil in the diffuser for many people and call it a day. This is because many different blends of essential oils can be used together to bring an entirely new smell and feel to the space.
Here are some of our favorite essential oil blends to add to your diffuser.

The smell is one of our strongest senses when it comes to triggering feelings, and for this reason, it is an excellent idea to create a bedtime smell. The perfect essential oil blend for this is equal parts lavender and vetiver.

Everybody has days when they feel under the weather and feel as though the only solution is to be sick to make themselves feel better. This dilemma might be particularly familiar to pregnant moms. We have a solution.
Mixing in equal parts ginger and peppermint in your diffuser will help you to feel less nauseous. Of course, we all know that ginger is beneficial for nausea, and drinking ginger beer is great, but smelling it is even better. Likewise, the peppermint brings about a fresh smell to help ease nausea.
