1. Rise and Shine Blend
You will love this morning diffuser blend, with cooling citrus and peppermint.
- 3 drops of Lemon
- 2 drops of Orange

This blend is perfect for diffusing in the morning to help everyone in the household start the day with energy and positivity. The combination of citrus and invigorating peppermint sets a cheerful tone and may give you extra help in shaking off morning grogginess.
2. Study Buddy Blend
Enhance your focus with essential oils that may improve cognition and block out external noise.

This blend is designed to help students focus and concentrate during homework or study sessions. The refreshing and calming aromas working together may cause effects that clear the mind and reduce distractions, making it easier to stay on task.
3. Go to Bed Blend
Sometimes it’s a challenge to turn off the excitement of experiencing new things. A healthy bedtime routine and winding down with aromatherapy may be the answer you need for quieter evenings.
- 5 drops of Sweet Orange
- 2 drops of Vetiver
As the day winds down, this blend can be diffused to signal that it’s time to relax and prepare for a restful night’s sleep. The grounding scent of vetiver combined with the soothing aroma of sweet orange creates a peaceful atmosphere that you may find relaxes and encourages deep sleep.
4. Stress Buster Blend (For High School Students)
While younger kids seem to like citrus scents, as we age our interests change to more sophisticated aromas.
- 3 drops of Lavender
- 2 drops of Clary Sage
High school can be a stressful time, and this blend is crafted to help ease tension and promote emotional balance. Lavender’s calming properties paired with the soothing effects of clary sage may help students manage stress more effectively and maintain a sense of calm throughout the day.
5. Fresh Air Blend
I love using this diffuser blend to add freshness to a space.
- 3 drops of Lemon
- 3 drops of Lavender
- 2 drops of Lemongrass
Keeping the air fresh is essential, especially during the school year. This blend combines the cleansing effects of lemon and lemongrass with the calming aroma of lavender to create a pleasant environment that’s both refreshing and uplifting.
How to Use These Blends
Diffuse: Add the drops of your chosen blend to a diffuser and run it for 30 minutes in the morning, during study time, or before bed. Looking for a new diffuser? I have suggestions for you here.
Roller Bottles: Create a portable version of these blends by adding the drops to a 10ml roller bottle filled with your favourite carrier oil, such as jojoba oil. Apply to pulse points as needed throughout the day.
Aromatic Jewelry: Place one drop of each oil in the blend onto a piece of aromatic jewelry for a subtle and consistent scent throughout the day.
These back to school essential oil blends are your new best friends for navigating the season with ease. Whether you’re preparing your kids for school or just trying to keep the household running smoothly, a little aromatherapy can make all the difference!
