Easy February Essential Oil Blend for Calm and Comfort
February is often called the month of love, but love doesn’t look the same for everyone — and if I’m honest, that’s something I’ve had to remind myself of more than once.
Some are celebrating marriage. Some are walking through single seasons. Some are carrying grief. And others are simply trying to stay steady through a quieter or heavier stretch of life.
As I prayed over what February should look like here at Makin’ Macon, especially after a slower start to the year, one truth kept rising to the surface: we are deeply loved and fully known by God, no matter the season we’re in.
That truth became the heartbeat behind this month’s essential oil blend — Loved & Known.
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come… shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” — Romans 8:38–39
Essential Oils in the Loved & Known Blend for February
This February blend is warm, citrus-forward, and grounding — designed to bring peace and gentle encouragement into your home without asking anything extra from you.
💜 Lavender
Lavender is calming and steadying, helping create a peaceful atmosphere and supporting emotional balance.
🍊 Orange (Blood Orange, Sweet Orange, or Regular Orange)
Orange adds warmth and joy to this blend. It’s uplifting without being overpowering and brings a sense of lightness that’s especially welcome during winter months.
🌿 Frankincense
Frankincense is grounding and prayerful, often used to encourage stillness and reflection. It helps anchor the brighter notes in this blend.
🌲 Cedarwood
Cedarwood adds a soft, woodsy base that promotes calm and emotional steadiness without making the blend feel heavy.
How to Use the Loved & Known Essential Oil Blend in February
Toward the end of last year, I decided to make something a little different for Christmas gifts. Instead of the usual, I mixed up simple room sprays for family and teachers. I wanted something practical — something that could be used every day without feeling like one more thing to manage. To my surprise, those room sprays ended up being one of the most appreciated gifts I gave.
This blend wasn’t created for romance alone — and it wasn’t created for perfection either.
I chose to create this blend first as a room spray, with a diffuser option alongside it — simply because some days call for ease and simplicity more than anything else.
Loved & Known Room Spray Recipe (4 oz)
Ingredients:
- 4 oz amber spray bottle
- 2 tablespoons witch hazel
- Distilled water
Essential Oil Drops (30 total):
- Lavender – 9 drops
- Orange essential oil – 12 drops
- Frankincense – 6 drops
- Cedarwood – 3 drops
Instructions:
- Add essential oils to the spray bottle
- Add 2 tablespoons of witch hazel
- Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water
- Shake well before each use
Room sprays are a simple way to freshen a space, reset the atmosphere, and enjoy essential oils without needing to turn on a diffuser. Some days that’s exactly what I need — something gentle that fits into the middle of real life.
Substitution Note: If orange essential oil isn’t available, mandarin or tangerine can be used as a substitute using the same number of drops.
Loved & Known Diffuser Blend
If diffusing fits your routine better, this blend translates beautifully when scaled down.
Diffuser Recipe (200–300 mL water):
- Lavender – 3 drops
- Orange essential oil – 4 drops
- Frankincense – 2 drops
- Cedarwood – 1 drop
Diffuse during quiet time, while preparing meals, or during those moments when the house finally quiets down and you can take a breath.
⚠️ Safety Notes
- Room spray is for air use only; avoid direct skin contact
- Shake well before each use
- Keep out of reach of children
- Use essential oils responsibly and diffuse in a well-ventilated space
A Gentle Reminder This February
February doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s version of love. Sometimes love looks like slowing down, caring for your home, and giving yourself permission to rest without guilt.
This blend is meant to serve as a quiet reminder that you are not unseen or forgotten. You are held, known, and loved — not because of what you do, but because of who you are in Christ.
