Halloween is just around the corner! Unmissable in the United States, this traditional celebration of Celtic origin, where October 31st used to be considered the last day of the year and during which spirits came to visit the living on Earth, is a great opportunity to experience surprising and original recipes using organic essential and carrier oils for throwing a festive and tasty Halloween.
ESSENTIAL OILS
Overall, the easiest way to use essential oils during this holiday rich in fantasy is to diffuse them indoors so as to create a warm and mysterious environment in the spirit of Halloween. In particular, several of them with bewitching and intense aromas are very much in line with this theme:
- Sweet Orange: Fruity and uplifting, this Halloween-colored essential oil will make an excellent base for atmospheric diffusion to create a sweet and entertaining ambiance;
- Frankincense: Deep and mesmerizing, stimulating and soothing, this woody scented oil is a must in diffusion to bring your home a touch of mystery;
- Ginger: A true natural tonic, this warm and spicy essential oil, slightly lemony and peppery, which also blends with citrus fruits nicely, is ideal for a vibrant and spirited atmosphere;
- Clove Bud: Both powerful and stimulating, with an enigmatic perfume, this oil ideally blends with orange notes for a warm interior with lively spices; dilute well in another softer essential oil before diffusing;
- Patchouli: Rich, suave and intense, the woody and musk aromas of this tonic and bewitching essential oil will be highly appreciated (in small quantity) to create an intense, captivating and mysterious atmosphere;

Precautions
We recommend not to exceed 30 minutes of continuous diffusion for adults, to space out the diffusion intervals as much as possible and to air your home regularly. As essential oils have strong effects and may not always be suitable for certain people, including pregnant women, we also recommend seeking the advice of a health professional specialized in aromatherapy before any use.
