Fall Equinox Blend: Embrace the Winds of Change
As the Fall Equinox approaches, we find ourselves at the cusp of yet another seasonal transition. The air grows crisper, mornings and evenings carry a hint of chill, yet the warmth of the Sun still lingers. This unique blend was created with the spirit of change in mind, capturing the essence of autumn with a comforting yet invigorating mix of essential oils.
Each oil in this blend has been thoughtfully selected to support emotional balance, mental clarity, and physical well-being as the seasons shift.
Why We Chose These Ingredients:
Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis): Sweet Orange brings the warmth of the Sun into this blend, infusing it with happiness, positivity, and laughter. Its uplifting scent helps to ease stress and anxiety, making it perfect for maintaining an optimistic outlook during the seasonal transition.
Lemon (Citrus limon): Lemon offers a bright, familiar scent that sharpens the mind and aids focus. It has a unique ability to bring clarity while calming emotional storms. Its fresh and optimistic energy helps ground and center the mind, especially during times of change.
Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomum zeylanicum): Cinnamon Bark provides warmth and comfort, making it ideal for diffusing during chilly autumn days. It is well-known for its immune-boosting properties, offering support to the body as it adjusts to seasonal shifts.
Clove Bud (Eugenia caryophyllata): Clove Bud is energetically soothing, especially for emotional pain and heartache. Its warming qualities help to "numb" emotional discomfort, allowing healing to begin. It warms both the soul and the emotional body, bringing comfort during difficult times.
Directions for Use:
- Diffuse: Add 5-7 drops to your diffuser to create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere in your home. The uplifting citrus notes combined with warming spices will fill your space with comfort and positivity.
- Topical Application: Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to pulse points (wrists, neck) to keep the warmth and energy of this blend with you throughout the day.

This Fall Equinox Blend is more than just a fragrance—it’s a seasonal companion designed to help you embrace the winds of change with grace and positivity. Let this aromatic blend bring warmth to your home and heart as you move through this transitional time.
Autumn Winds; Fall Equinox Blend Limited Edition
Fall Equinox is upon us, yet another change, another season. We blended this with the thoughts of the winds of change that seems to blow this time of year. The air gets a little crisper, you can still feel the warmth of the Sun and yet our mornings and evenings have that chill in the air that reminds us the seasons are changing.
The sweet orange brings the Sun into this blend along with happiness and laughter into the pschye.
The addition of Lemon is like seeing a familiar face in a crowd of strangers, these molecules seem to know their well-traveled scent trails to the brain and are instantly recognized. These very personal associations may create impressions that last a lifetime and influence use. For some, the aroma of Lemon essential oil is said to sharpen and aid in focusing the mind1, but it is also reported to have a gentle, calming effect. For Marcel Lavabre, "…the small lemon tree gives the impression of fresh, optimistic, fearless strength." For Suzanne Fischer-Rizzi, Lemon is a “rational” oil, helpful for calming or avoiding stormy emotional outbursts.
The Cinnamon Bark is perfect for use in a diffuser, particularly for immune support around the holiday season.
Lastly we chose Clove Bud as it is energetically wonderful when someones heart is to open so to speak, emotionally in pain, or hurting. Energetically it can be used in a blend to "numb" the emotional pain for a but, so healing can begin to occur. Clove bud hellps warm the soul and emotional body.
