We constantly hear people say, “I want to try using essential oils, but I don’t need a diffuser.”  Today let’s talk about Essential Oil 101 Spring Refresh: Benefits of Diffusing!

Well, let us just stop you right there because you do in fact NEED a diffuser. In every room, in every vehicle, in every space, you spend any amount of time. Diffusing essential oils is one of the best ways to benefit from using essential oils and lucky for all of us, it’s the easiest way to use them! 

Diffusing essential oils helps to release cleansing molecules into the air that work to clean and purify it as well as offer a positive response in your body. And as much as we may have once loved candles or air fresheners, we can’t say the same for those. We love the idea of using a diffuser in our homes, cars, or offices because they are the best, easiest way to ensure everyone in that common space can benefit. 

It really is no secret that our sense of smell is one of our most powerful senses so it just makes good sense to offer our bodies smells that boost our moods, lift our spirits, and support our bodies. Our bodies can detect over 1,000 different smell receptors and our brains are so smart that those scents can connect themselves to emotions from our past and present experiences. 

Using a diffuser can help to promote healthy sleep, support immunity, support respiratory health, awaken and energize, calm our spirits, and so much more. All from the sense of smell and its connection to our brains. 

Some of our favorite diffuser recipes include:

4 drops Valor

3 drops Northern Light Black Spruce

6 drops Stress Away

2 drops Frankincense

Respiratory Rescue

Throw these recipes in your diffuser, fill with water, and sit back and relax as Science and plants do their job to support our bodies as they were always intended to do! 

And while we believe that no amount of diffusers are too many diffusers, it is possible to get the aromatic benefits of essentials simply by smelling the oil straight from the bottle or wearing them on your skin, clothes, and even jewelry. No matter how you choose to diffuse, just be sure you are taking advantage of using your oils aromatically to get the best benefits!
