When pretty pink and white blossom petals gradually replace winter's wiry, bare, brown tree branches, your mood will lift.

It's true. You aren't imagining it. Humans experience a boost of the feel-good hormone dopamine as the days get longer, lighter, and brighter. We love the spring, and it seems the spring season loves us back.

So what better way to embrace the upcoming spring months than filling your house with the scent of this life-renewing season? To help, we've put together this guide to the best essential oil blends for spring.

A Simple Citrus Blend

A vibrant, fresh citrus scent is perfect for lifting your spirits and creating a clean, natural, and welcoming home aroma. Here is what you need to make citrus-based essential oil diffuser recipes for spring:

• Two or three drops of lemon essential oil
• Two drops of sweet orange essential oil
• Two drops of lavender essential oil

This blend is perfect for the senses to create a joyful spring-themed mood in your home.

Lemon is known to lift your mood and give you energy. Sweet orange is also a mood-boosting scent and has therapeutic stress-relieving benefits. And lavender provides a soothing, relaxing balance to the mix.
