Home Office Diffuser Recipes (2024)

My new diffuser was the first thing I used when I received my Young Living Premium Starter Kit. I diffused a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil and thoroughly enjoyed it. But it wasn't until I started creating home office diffuser recipes that I decided I couldn't work (or live) without my oils and my diffuser! And today I'm sharing 8 of my favorite home office diffuser recipes with you!

Home Office Diffuser Recipes (1)

I use my home office diffuser recipes for different reasons. One day I might need a little extra energy or focus. Or I might be having a hard time concentrating. Or I may need extra support because I'm on a tight deadline and feeling added stress. You'll see one or more of those struggles or benefits listed in the title of each recipe.

My Favorite Home Office Diffuser Recipes

A quick note before we jump into the recipes: I only use pure, therapeutic essential oils. After lots of research, I decided to purchase my essential oils from Young Living, because of their Seed to Seal commitment to quality. I know that when I purchase from Young Living I'm getting products that are free of harmful synthetics and of the highest purity. Another thing that drew me to Young Living is that they own their farms, so they control the essential oil creation process from start to finish (or seed to seal)! For more information about Young Living's Seed to Seal commitment, visit their Seed to Seal website.

Here are four of my top favorite home office diffuser recipes, but you'll find all 8 on the printable below!

Hit That Deadline

I experience many interruptions when I'm working from home: kids with questions, pets with immediate needs, phone calls, social media and email notifications, etc.

Interruptions often mean I'm close to missing my deadlines and that creates added stress. So I give my brain a little extra support with this home office diffuser recipe that helps me relax and focus, so I can hit that deadline!

Hit That Deadline:

  • 3 drops Stress Away
  • 3 drops Peppermint

Another thing I love about this home office diffuser recipe is that the oils needed are available in the Young Living Premium Starter Kit, which is the easiest and most cost-efficient way to get started with essential oils!

Energize

Home Office Diffuser Recipes (5)

This is my all-time favorite home office diffuser recipe. I use it almost every morning, and I now associate it with getting down to business and getting those to-do's done!

Energize:

  • 3 drops of Citrus Fresh
  • 2 drops of Lemongrass (One of my all-time favorite essential oils!)

Whenever I'm painting in our home, like most recently when I made over our hall closet, I add a couple of cotton balls with a drop of Lemongrass or Purification to the area to tone down the smell of the paint. Works like a charm!

Memory Support

Home Office Diffuser Recipes (6)

This is another one of my faves! I feel like I get more done when it's diffusing, and Lemon and Rosemary are two oils that I really like. You'll receive a bottle of Lemon essential oil in your Premium Starter Kit, too!

  • 2 drops Lavender
  • 2 drops Lemon
  • 1 drop Rosemary
  • 1 drop of Cinammon Bark

I use Lavender for so many different things! I love it in my diffuser, but I also love it in this recipe for a DIY All-Purpose Cleaning Spray {That You Can Make in a Flash}!
