Using Essential Oils in an Essential Oil Diffuser

One of the easiest and most effective ways to use essential oils is via an aromatherapy oil diffuser. These small, simple structures use the process of diffusion to bring the oil droplets into the air. The result is a subtle and consistent scent which is constantly emitted and dispersed throughout the air.

Special Blends

One of the most effective ways to use pure essential oils is by creating a unique and personal blend which you use to help energize and revitalize you when you’re feeling drained. You can create a special blend for yourself to use anytime, anywhere. Be sure to keep it in a tinted glass bottle and store it in a cool place to retain its potency.

If you choose to purchase a diffuser to use with your essential oils, be sure to use high quality glass aromatherapy diffuser. Plastic diffusers can interact with the oils, making them not only less pure but also releasing dangerous hydrocarbons into the air.

Consider the following recipes for energy (amounts will vary depending on the size of your diffuser reservoir):

  • Balancing: 5 drops of peppermint with 3 drops of geranium will energize and relax you
  • Cleansing and Uplifting: A few drops each of eucalyptus and rosemary will be cleansing and uplifting
  • Citrus Blast: 3 drops of orange, 2 of lemon and 1 of peppermint
