Halloween is literally just around the corner! It's time to put on your witch hat, grab that cauldron and throw in those snake oils. Hahaha! I crack myself up. In all seriousness, whether you're hosting a Halloween party, decorating your home, or simply want to set the mood for a frightfully fun evening, essential oils can be your secret weapon. These aromatic compounds from nature can not only help create the perfect atmosphere, but they can be used in a variety of holistic remedies to support you through your fun evening and beyond.
From trick-or-treating to haunted house visits, the exchange of candy and interactions with numerous people can create opportunities for germs to spread. Boost your family’s immunity with On Guard® Protective Blend. Take two to three drops internally, add to water for an effective, all-purpose surface cleaner, or diffuse it to also provide an energizing and uplifting aroma.
Additionally, you might also like trying a batch of this tasty popcorn with immune-boosting benefits.

2–3 drops Cinnamon Oil

Keep your carved pumpkin fresh. Simply add 10 drops each: On Guard® & Tea Tree essential oils to a 2oz spray bottle and top with distilled water. Shake well, then spray in and outside the pumpkin daily.
Halloween and sugar are nearly synonymous, as this holiday is notorious for its abundance of sugary delights. Aside from obvious tooth decay and weight gain, overconsumption of sugar can lead to spikes in blood sugar levels. It’s wise to strike a balance by enjoying Halloween treats in moderation, but when you’re trying to avoid it altogether, you should try to curb those cravings to begin with using the MetaPWR® Metabolic Blend. Add 4 drops to 8oz water and sip on it throughout the day.
Let’s face it, sometimes you just can’t help yourself and you overindulge a bit. Or what happens when you find your little nearly passed out in a sugar-induced coma? In addition to properly hydrating to flush out that excess sugar, you can rub a drop or two of DigestZen® Digestive Blend on the stomach or take a few drops internally [in a veggie cap or in water] to help quickly soothe that upset tummy.
Halloween can be an exciting and magical time for many, but it can also be genuinely scary for little kids. The eerie decorations, haunting costumes, and unfamiliar sights and sounds can create an overwhelming atmosphere of spookiness. If you’ve got someone experiencing a little terror or need support when visiting unfamiliar places, apply Adaptiv® Calming blend to the wrists and over the heart of the scaredy-cat.
Stress and tensions can run high when we’re hosting a party or exposed to so many people and personalities at once. If you’re looking to tame that inner witch, cause after all that’s not what you dressed up as, consider applying a drop of Adaptiv® to the palm of your hand, rub your hands together and inhale deeply.
Artificial spider webs, often adorned with plastic or rubber arachnids, are commonly used to transform homes into spooky, haunted settings. Real spiders, which are more active in the fall, can unintentionally become part of the Halloween ambiance as well. Since most of us have a general aversion to those creepers, you can either spray your window seals and doorways with a Peppermint essential oil and water mixture or simply add several drops to a cotton ball and place it on your window seal(s).
*And if you don’t have the MetaPWR® Metabolic Blend to help you curb your sweet tooth, you can also use Peppermint. I like to put a drop on my thumb and press it to the roof of my mouth for about 60 seconds. If you don’t want to look like your sucking your thumb (tee-hee!) you can also do a drop in your mouth along with some water the swish and swallow.
Creating a spooky and festive atmosphere is an essential part of setting the mood for Halloween. Diffusing essential oils can be a fantastic way to enhance the ambiance with captivating scents. Here are some essential oils combinations that can help you achieve the perfect Halloween vibe:
