I LOVE diffusing essential oils! Â Not only do they smell amazing, they also help me relax.
Do you have frayed nerves? Need to chill out? Want to ditch the witch? Get out of your grouchy pants? Find your zen? Then this is the place for you (and me).  In this post I share a few of my favorite stress-busting essential oil diffuser blends. There are blends for those who love floral oils like lavender, geranium, and patchouli. There are blends for those who love citrus oils like orange, bergamot, and lime. And there are blends for those who love woodsy oils like cedarwood and sandalwood.
Hope you find some new blends that you love! Be sure to look below for a free printable of all the recipes.
In addition to diffusing, another great way to use essential oils for calming and stress relief is topically. check out these other posts for great topical ways to use essential oils to relax, calm, balance, and ground yourself to reduce stress and recharge. 21 roller bottle recipes for emotional support (and free printable labels), bath salts, bath bombs, peppermint foot cream {for tired feet}, bubbling bath salts, calming aromatherapy playdough, DIY aromatherapy stress balls, and shower steamers

Hi Sarah,
I just printed the Stress Busting sheet with the blends for diffusing. I live in New Zealand and have not come across Joyful Blend essential oil. Can you suggest a substitute for it, please? also how much water should a use in my diffuser?
thanks for your help,
Connie
Hi Connie,
About 300ml of water for these recipes. You can adjust the number of drops if you have a smaller or larger diffuser.
Joyful blend is a generic term for essential oil blends like doTERRA’s Elevation blend, Young Living’s Stress Away blend, and Plant Therapy’s Worry Free blend.
