Benefits of Diffusing Essential Oils

Diffusing essential oils that are therapeutic-grade is a wonderful way to bring them directly into the body through the lungs, and into the limbic area of the brain where emotions reside. It is also a perfect way to improve your home, work, or study environment.

Diffuse oils such as lemon to help purify the air and neutralize mildew, cigarette smoke, or other disagreeable odors. Diffusing lavender or ylang ylang may have a calming and emotionally balancing effect where as oils such as peppermint or basil may have a stimulating, invigorating effect.

Diffusing essential oils in classrooms have been widely researched for their ability to improve accuracy and memory

You would never diffuse thereaputic-grade essential oils using heat such as over a tea light or in a steam humidifier. Heat can destroy the fragile constituents retained during the distillation process and although you may still enjoy a pleasant aroma, the therapeutic healing benefit may be lost. A cold air diffuser is the best method for diffusing as they are designed to disperse a micro-fine mist of therapeutic-grade essential oil into the air.

You can diffuse oils during the day or night by placing the diffuser on a timer, set to go off for 15 minutes every 2 hours.
