Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to infuse your space with love, warmth, and romance. Whether you’re spending the day with a significant other, enjoying some self-care, or simply celebrating love in all its forms, creating a cozy, fragrant atmosphere with essential oils can elevate the experience.
Diffusing love-inspired blends not only fills your space with beautiful aromas, but it can also enhance feelings of warmth, joy, and relaxation. In this post, I’ll share some of my favorite Valentine’s Day inspired diffuser blends to help you create the perfect ambiance for your home.
using essential oils
For centuries, cultures worldwide have utilized aromatherapy. Using the power of plants is a natural way to support different systems of the human body. If you’re new to using essential oils, click here for a more in-depth explanation of what they are and how to use them.
essential oils vs. candles
The harsh truth is most candles are toxic. They contain ingredients like paraffin wax (a petroleum waste product). When lit, carcinogens like benzene, toluene, and others release into the air. These are the same chemicals that are found in diesel fuel flames and can be as dangerous as second-hand smoke. The wick’s are often made of heavy metals like lead. And then there’s fragrance– further adding to the chemical cocktail. Even candles that claim to be “natural” or “eco-friendly” can greenwash consumers into thinking these products are safe.
Purchasing essential oils can be more cost-effective compared to candles. For example, an average pumpkin candle costs $28 and lasts about 70 hours. Add five drops of thieves ($.70) and five drops of orange ($.22) into a diffuser. For 70 hours of diffusing, it would cost $10.73. Along with smelling incredible, essential oils support overall wellness and provide many benefits.
