After months of bundled-up hibernation under gloomy grey skies, the arrival of spring feels like a long-awaited exhale. Although the springtime seasonal shift tends to stir us awake with a returned sense of energy, it often arrives with its own unique kind of overwhelm. Calendars start to fill up, all your friends want to make plans, and suddenly the gentle transition into spring turns into a never-ending to-do list. In the midst of all this regrowth, it’s no wonder many of us find ourselves a bit scatter-brained. That’s where our herbal allies come in!
While keeping up with a custom wellness routine can be crucial to keeping life’s chaos at bay, oftentimes all we need to bring ourselves back to the present moment is just a bit of herbal instant gratification. Luckily, aromatherapy can offer us exactly that! Our olfactory system (a.k.a. sense of smell) sends rapid-fire signals to the brain, which instantly influence our memory, mood, and emotion. Just like savoring a bite of your favorite meal, taking a deep inhale of an intentionally crafted essential oil blend can help gently ground the body and refocus a distracted mind in moments.
In this simple yet effective blend, each oil plays a unique role in rooting us back to center. Lemongrass and fresh ginger offer distinctly uplifting notes to awaken the senses, while lavender and clary sage add touches of floral sweetness to soothe a busy mind. Tying it all together, myrtle and rosemary provide woodsy, herbaceous depth. Swirled into one, these oils create a sensory reminder to pause, breathe, and move through the spring season with grace and intention—just like plants do!
Purely Spring Essential Oil Blend
- 10 drops organic lemongrass essential oil*
- 10 drops organic lavender essential oil or spike lavender essential oil
- 10 drops organic rosemary essential oil
- 10 drops organic myrtle essential oil
- 5 drops organic fresh ginger essential oil

Usage
- Always make sure to follow the directions on your diffuser of choice.
- This blend can be used in a diffuser, made into a DIY body/room spray, or diluted with a carrier oil in a roll-on bottle for when you need to take some grounding on-the-go!
- I recommend pre-mixing this blend to avoid accidentally adding too much of an oil into your diffuser. I like to make enough to fill a 10mL essential oil bottle in advance so I always have some on hand!
- Always use caution when diffusing essential oils around pets, especially our feline friends. Please connect with a qualified veterinary professional for further guidance prior to using essential oils around animals.
*If you are not a fan of lemongrass, you can substitute other citrusy essential oils, such as grapefruit, blood orange, sweet orange or lime peel.
