How should essential oils be blended for diffusion?

Blending essential oils in a dropper bottle before adding them to a diffuser is the most effective method for ensuring a balanced and harmonious scent profile in your diffusion. This approach allows you to carefully measure and combine different oils, optimizing their therapeutic properties and fragrances. When combined in a dropper bottle, the oils can be well mixed, which facilitates a uniform release of the aroma and benefits during diffusion. This method also allows for experimentation with different ratios, helping to fine-tune the blend to achieve desired effects or aromas.

When essential oils are added directly to a diffuser without prior blending, their properties may not be properly integrated, leading to an uneven release of scents or therapeutic benefits. Mixing oils with water before diffusion is generally not recommended because essential oils are not water-soluble; they do not properly dissolve and may not diffuse effectively. Using oils separately in the diffuser can create a disjointed experience, lacking the synergy that blends can offer. Therefore, pre-mixing essential oils in a dropper bottle ensures a complete and harmonious diffusion experience.
