In my quest to adopt a more natural wellness and lifestyle, I have put together three of my favourite winter essential oil blends inspired by other recipes from the Herbs & Essential Oil bundle.
Winter Calm
Lavender, 3 drops.
Ylang Ylang, 2 drops.
Rose, 2 drops.
Scent: Flowery
Effect: Calming
Notes*: Lavender is a top note, which means that this burns faster. Ylang Ylang and Rose are middle notes that take a bit longer to burn.
Christmass Spirit
Orange Blossom oil, 3 drops.
Cinnamon, 2 drops.
Ylang Ylang. 2 drops.
Scent: Spicy and Flowery
Effect: Anti-anxiety & sexually stimulating
Notes: Top Notes with Orange blossom and mid notes Cinnamon and Ylang Ylang.
Seasonal Congestion
Peppermint, 3 drops.
Eucalyptus, 2 drops.
Tea tree, 2 drops.
Lemon, 2 drops.
Scent: Citrus & Herbal
Effect: Energizing and detoxifying
Notes: Top Notes: peppermint, eucalyptus, and lemon. Mid notes: tea tree.
*essential oils that are quickest to evaporate (usually within 1-2 hours) are called “top notes”. Next are the oils that evaporate within 2-4 hours, those are considered “middle notes”. The “base notes” are the oils that evaporate the slowest.

Want to know more about the Herbs & Essential Oil Bundle?
It’s an incredible resource pack that contains:
- beginners guides,
- essential oil profiles and safety information,
- how to use what, when and how,
- how to incorporate the oils in your daily routine
- and so many printables to get this all organised!
What’s more amazing, its that all the authors of this bundle got together with Ultimate Bundles to provide these resources at a very affordable price. You can download all the resources directly to your computer and also have online access for up to a year. It also includes a number of memberships and training opportunities. I explore some of the resources here.
Since using essential oils at home, I haven’t fallen ill to the usual common cold and allergies that I regularly suffer from. Furthermore, I have not bought any floor detergents and cleaning sprays in months, which helps me in my mission to reduce household waste! I owe a lot of my learning to the Herbs & Essential Oils Bundle – it is definitely my go-to guide and I highly recommend you get your copy. It also makes an awesome Christmas gift for anyone who is interested in natural wellness, self-care and reducing household waste.
Wonderful information, love essential oils!
Definitely going to try this winter blend. Lavender already calms me so much. Must be wonderful together with the other ingredients. <3
Thank you for this. I love using essential oils as they are much safer for my daughter’s asthma!

The Seasonal Congestion recipe sounds like something I should definitely make! What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
christmas Spirit sounds great! I’m going to try it and see how it affects my anxiety this season.
This is so helpful! I’m gonna try the congestion blend.
Thanks for the information. I should really get to know more about essential oils. I could use some winter calm.
Chridtmass Spirit is the one I want to try. Great article!
I have used the Christmas Spirit in the diffuser and LOVE it. I am super excited to try the seasonal congestion. I have all of these oils but use them separately. Thank you.
