Editor’s note: A few months ago Ash shared this recipe for us along with a ton of information on Grapefruit Essential Oils. To see the entire post visit here, and you can see Ash’s store here. Today I wanted to highlite the Grapefruit & Lavender Aromatherapy Spray that she shared with us, because I know you’re gonna love it. -Aub
Today we have another classic method for homemade aromatherapy: the room spray. This is perhaps the easiest way to enjoy aromatherapy as it requires no heating, little prep time and can be used anywhere. This recipe features Wild Rose’s Total Attunement blend, used in a variety of our skin care and aromatherapy products.
Grapefruit & Lavender Aromatherapy Spray
Grapefruit-Lavender is one of my all time favorite blends. The sweetness of grapefruit and the flowery-ness of lavender compliment each other in a way that tones each scent down, creating a perfect balance. Feel free to adjust the proportions to suit your personal taste, but you want to end up with about 20 drops of EO per 2oz of water.

Ingredients
- 10 drops Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil (cold pressed)
- 10 drops Lavender Essential Oil (steam distilled)
- 2oz Spring Water
- 1 spray bottler, preferably an atomizer
Instructions
- Add your EOs to your empty spray bottle.
- Fill with spring water.
- Shake very well and spray!
- Be sure to shake this well before each spray. The oils will sit on top of the water until it is shaken. An atomizer (which is essentially a fine-misting spray bottle) is highly recommended as it effectively disperses the EO particles throughout the mist.
- Always label your homemade blends should anyone using them ever have a reaction. And more importantly, so you can replicate a favorite recipe!
- I use these sprays as an aromatherapy pick-me-up, linen freshener and even deodorant!
