Summer Diffuser Blends with Fan Favorite Summer Oils

One thing I love about aromatherapy is that I can enjoy summer scents any time of the year with Summer Diffuser Blends. I can create reminiscent aromas of the beach, a paradise escape, or a fresh garden with just a few drops of oils.

For summer I like citrus and floral essential oils because they remind me most of sunny days. I also enjoy mint and woodsy oils no matter what time of year it is.
