From Home Spa to Creative Cleaning: 6 New Ways to Blend and Use Essential Oils

Essential oils are tiny bottles of plant power. Beyond their beautiful scents, they can be combined to create blends that soothe, energise and freshen every corner of your life. Here are six inspiring ideas to try—simple enough for beginners, but full of natural luxury.

1. Wake-Up Shower Steamer

Add 8–10 drops of this blend to a homemade shower steamer puck (or a damp washcloth on the shower floor). The rising steam releases a bright, invigorating aroma that jump-starts your morning.

Dilute 10–12 drops in 10 ml of jojoba oil and pour into a roller bottle.
Glide onto pulse points for a soft, natural perfume that doubles as a mini aromatherapy session.

5. Sleep-Time Linen Mist

Blend: Chamomile + Cedarwood + Bergamot
Combine 8–10 drops with 100 ml of distilled water.
Spritz over pillows or sheets to create a gentle, relaxing atmosphere before bed.
