For anyone looking for natural alternatives to health and wellness, I am sure you have already explored the possibility of diffusing essential oils. It is the easiest way to get some amazing benefits. A healthier alternative to candles, which is usually on top gift-giving lists this time of year. Here are some of the many reasons to give a diffuser this Christmas. Show your loved ones you were thinking about their health and well-being. Have fun with endless essential oil combinations.
Here are some benefits to using a diffuser:
- Purifies the air. They can help kill bacteria and fungus that are present in the air. Recommended oils: oregano, cinnamon bark, thyme, protective blend
- Reduces dust in the air. Aroma diffusers have an ionizing effect. The air quality is improved because more negative ions are released into the air. These ions attach themselves to the positive ions, which causes dust to fall on the ground (so that it no longer pollutes the air).
- Spreads scent quickly throughout a room. An ultrasonic diffuser divides essential oils into millions of micro-particles, creating a very fine water vapor that quickly spreads through a room. It will only take a few minutes for your entire room to be scented with a delightful aroma!
- Humidifies the air. Dry air (<30% humidity) is linked to several respiratory tract issues, as well as irritated mucous membranes and dry skin. A healthy humidity level ranges between 40% and 60%.
- Maintains the oils’ quality & effectiveness. The ultrasonic diffuser does not use heat to disperse the oils. Heating oils will decrease the therapeutic effect.
- Relaxation and sleep. One of the best and most well-known uses for essential oils is their ability to help you unwind at the end the day. While there are several other methods for getting your soothing oils from the bottle into your blood stream where they start to work their magic, the diffuser is by far the easiest and longest-lasting of them all. Recommended oils: roman chamomile, lavender, calming blend.
- Mood elevation. A diffuser can also be used to elevate mood. This is great for when you’re feeling sad, depressed or just unmotivated. You can use your diffuser to inspire high spirits during the holidays, to set a positive atmosphere for parties and social gatherings, to help you get moving on a slow morning, or even to create a romantic atmosphere for that special someone in your life. Recommended oils: wild orange, jasmine, sandalwood, peppermint, elevating blend
- Improved cognitive function. Using essential oils in a diffuser is a highly-effective way to stimulate thinking and help focus. First, many essential oils have adaptogenic qualities – meaning that they are soothing when you’re stressed, but they can also give you a pick-me-up when you’re feeling down or sluggish. By leveling out your mood, you can then focus on the task at hand. There are several essential oils which are known for their powerful ability to balance the body’s hormones. Hormones often interfere with many health aspects but can often affect cognitive function. Recommended oils: peppermint, eucalyptus, lemon, frankincense
- Repels insects. You can use essential oils in your diffuser to deter many different insects from entering your home, from mosquitos to flies and gnats. Recommended oils: clove, lemongrass, rosemary, cedarwood, lavender, repellant blend
- Safer alternative to candles and incense. If you have pets or small children, burning candles or incense can be a potentially hazardous practice. With an essential oil diffuser, you can reap the benefits of aromatherapy – and to much greater effect – without the risk of burns, wax spills, or other accidents. Eliminating the chemical fragrances from the air will keep your family from breathing in toxins and keep them healthier.
- Saves money. There so many reasons that owning a diffuser is an investment in your health and well-being, but it’s more than just that. With all of the versatile uses for essential oil diffusers around the home which ultimately lead to fewer doctor visits, lower electric bills, and better productivity; you will soon discover that this handy little device is a money-saver as well!
