There are so many scents to choose from to use for aromatherapy. For seasonal scents at the holidays and in winter, it doesn’t get much better than peppermint oil for aromatherapy, for its aroma as well as health benefits.
Aromatherapy involves using essential oils from herbs, flowers, and stems of trees that provide amazing scents and healing powers at the same time. By inhaling the aroma of these oils like peppermint oil aromatherapy, you are able to stimulate brain function, relax your body and mind, and benefit in a number of ways.
Peppermint not only works for those scents that smell like candy canes and peppermint treats, but it can be combined with certain spices and woody scents to create an entire holiday experience. Plus, peppermint has a wide range of health benefits when used with aromatherapy, from helping you sleep to providing more
energy.
One of my favorite peppermint oil aromatherapy blends is called Peppermint Candy. This smells just like candy canes in the traditional peppermint flavor. You can use this type of blend to add to your diffuser and turn on while decorating your Christmas tree or to make a variety of different gifts for friends and loved ones during the holiday season.
Peppermint Candy Essential Oil Blend Recipe
The main peppermint candy blend recipe calls for these three essential oils and you can use 3 drops of each in a diffuser.
- Peppermint
- Cinnamon
- Orange
There are different types of these oils, from sweet orange to cinnamon bark. You can pick and choose based on what your preferences are.
Then you have some variations as well. Instead of peppermint, you can use either wintergreen or spearmint oils. You can also add these to the peppermint along with the cinnamon and orange oils. As with all blends, start slow with just a drop or two of each scent, using more of the scent you feel should be the most prominent.
