I try to use oils on a day-to-day basis. I use them by inhalation, in the bath or shower, topical, and by diffusing. Maybe you are wondering how to diffuse essential oils. This is where I come in to help you learn how and the benefits of diffusing oils.
Diffusing
A diffuser is specially designed to vaporize a fine mist of the essential oil of your choice into the air. This allows the oil to remain hanging in the air for several hours. The diffuser spreads the oil without heating or burning, unlike candles or aroma lamps. Heating or burning can deliver the oil therapeutically less beneficial and may even create toxins.
Benefits of DiffusingIt has been known that cold air diffusing particular essential oils can:
Relieve headaches
Reduce bacteria, mold, and unpleasant odors
Relax the body, clear the mind, and relieve tension
Improve concentration, mental clarity, and alertness
Improve digestive function
Improve hormonal balance
and so much more...
Guidance for Diffusing
Check the thickness of the oil. It is important the oil is not too thick, otherwise it will plug the diffuser and make cleaning harder.
You may start by diffusing your chosen oil for 15-30 minutes a day. But as you become accustomed you will find yourself increasing the time to 1-2 hours each day.
If you are using a diffuser for respiratory problems then try diffusing only at night and for the entire night.
Placing the diffuser high in the room will allow the mist to fall through the air and remove any odors much better.
It is important to remember to wash your diffuser in-between different essential oils. To do this, wash with a natural soap and warm water.
Other Ways to Diffuse
If you do not own a diffuser or you are not able to purchase one it is alright. There are other ways to diffuse your essential oils. Such as:
Add the oil to cedar chips to make potpourri and add them to your closets or drawers.
You may even leave them by your bedside while you are sleeping.
Put any essential oil of your chose onto cotton balls or tissues. Then place them in your home, work, car, or air conditioning vents.
You may put a few drops of oil in a bowl or pan and place it on a warm stove top.
Take a damp cloth and place a few drops of your essential oil onto it, then place the cloth near an intake duct so the smell can be carried throughout your entire home.I love to help individuals learn about oils and how they can benefit from using them!
