When I was developing an essential oil blend to beat postpartum depression, I stumbled upon this recipe for pure JOY in a bottle.
It was a mainstay for all 8 of my pregnancies, and still use it every day to moisturize our skin and to help our children enjoy a positive mood while at school and throughout the day.
Whether you’re looking to prevent “baby blues,” beat Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), or just give your brain a little help to produce a ‘happy’ serotonin boost, this Joyful Blend of essential oils will be a game-changer for you!

Essential Oils for Postpartum Depression
“The joy of the LORD is your strength!”
Nehemiah 8:10
My mother had postpartum depression with my younger sister, and I wanted to be proactive against baby blues when I became pregnant with my first baby. Beyond all the prayers we sowed into not suffering from postpartum depression, I wanted something that the baby and I could enjoy together so I went to work and developed this Joyful Blend of essential oils and body oil.
It’s power in a bottle! Everyone raves about it. It smells great, and it works. Win-win!
This is hands down one of my favorite combos, and we still love it to this day! It makes a great body oil and daily moisturizer. It’s a great combination of essential oils for stretch marks, too. If you have a diffuser, you can put these same essential oils in it to convert your home into a joyful healthy haven.
If you struggle with depression or mood issues, please see some of our top essential oils for depression, as well as ways to naturally help manage depression during your pregnancy to ease the strain on your mental health. And never feel bad about reaching out for more health when necessary.
How do you keep the baby blues away? How do you beat Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)? Is there a quick brain boost that you can smell to instantly feel better?
Try these essential oils for postpartum depression, and let me know what works for you!
