What are the best essential oils for spring?
With so many different essential oils, it can be hard to know which oils are best for what. We put together our must-have essential oils for the spring season. From deep cleaning your home to allergy relief, learn which oils are best for your needs.
Eucalyptus
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, Eucalyptus is for you. With a crisp, fresh, and cooling aroma, Eucalyptus helps open up the nasal passages, making breathing easier. This essential oil is especially helpful if your allergy symptoms cause sinus congestion, upper respiratory discomfort, or allergy-related headaches.
Tip: Place 2-3 drops of Eucalyptus on your shower floor. The shower’s heat will vaporize the oil and help alleviate congestion and open up your airways.
Lemon
This oil ranks as our favorite essential oil for cleaning! Not only does Lemon smell amazing, but it also has powerful purifying and disinfecting properties. Create your own DIY multi-surface cleaner with just 30 drops in a 100 ml spray bottle of water, and your house will be sparkling and smelling fresh in no time!
Tip: Add 1-2 drops of Lemon to the floor of your dishwasher to remove hard water spots
Citronella
With warmer weather comes more bugs! Citronella is well-known for its powerful pest repellent properties. Citronella works by masking the human fragrances that insects like mosquitoes find appealing. You will want this herbal oil handy the next time you are adventuring outdoors!
Basil
Herbaceous and spicy, Basil essential oil is known for clearing mental clutter and sharpening focus. An underrated benefit of Basil is its ability to deter pests and bugs from eating your garden. Create a simple garden spray with 100 ml of water and 30 drops of Basil essential oil. Spray on your plants to help keep your garden thriving.
Bergamot
With spring comes the desire to freshen and clean up your home. Bergamot is one of our favorite essential oils for household cleaning. With high levels of limonene, Bergamot is a powerful degreaser and surface purifier. Add this essential oil to your household cleaners to naturally clean away dirt and grime.
Geranium
What is spring without florals? Geranium essential oil is a must-have for this season because of its sweet, floral, and slightly earthy aroma, similar to rose. Use this popular essential oil in your diffuser to create an uplifting and energizing environment.
Tea Tree
Get your home sparkling in no time with the powerful cleaning properties of Tea Tree which has shown antibacterial and antiviral attributes. Use Tea Tree to clean mildew in your shower, expel unwanted odors, and keep your surfaces clean.
Tip: Stinky trash can? Add 4-5 drops of Tea Tree to a cotton ball and place it at the bottom of your garbage can to eliminate unwanted odors!
Lavender
We can’t have a spring essential oil list without Lavender. With so many versatile medicinal benefits, it is no wonder that Lavender is the most popular essential oil. If you get seasonal allergies, try using Lavender. One study concluded that Lavender helps prevent allergic inflammation as well as the enlargement of mucus cells.

Spring Cleaning Essential Oil Recipes
Break out the brooms, mops, and trash bags – it’s time for Spring Cleaning! Instead of reaching for store-bought disinfectants loaded with harsh chemicals, make your own natural, safe DIY spray with a few simple ingredients! Essential oils like Lemon and Tea Tree have purifying properties that make them perfect for household cleaning.
We recommend using a dark-tinted glass bottle to protect the essential oils in the spray from sunshine. Another reason to use glass instead of plastic is that essential oils can corrode plastic over time, especially if they’re undiluted, damaging both the spray and the bottle.
Spring Cleaning Spray
- 200 ml white vinegar
- 20 drops Lemon
- 20 drops Tea Tree
- Glass Spray Bottle
Mix the essential oils and white vinegar and shake well to combine. Spray on surfaces around your home like kitchen counters and bathroom sinks to easily wipe away grime, grease, and germs!
