10 Reasons Every Home Should Have
An Essential Oil Diffuser

1. Relaxation and Restful Sleep

One of the best and most well-known uses for essential oils is their ability to help you unwind at the end of a challenging and stressful day. Although there are numerous methods for getting your high-quality essential oils into your bloodstream where they begin to work their magic, a high-quality essential oil diffuser is by far the simplest choice. Keep one at work to help you relax on your break. Have a diffuser ready to go for when you get home from work in the evening. Set one by your bedside to help your mind and body relax and improve the quality of your sleep.

Recommended Essential Oils: 

• Lavender

• Ylang Ylang
• Bergamot
• Sandalwood
• Marjoram

2. Mood Elevating 

Just as a diffuser can help you to de-stress, they can also be used to create an energized and elevated mood. This is awesome for when you’re feeling de-motivated, sad, or depressed. You can also use your diffuser to create a positive atmosphere for business meetings and social functions, to help you get moving on a slow day, or even to create a romantic vibe for that special someone.

• Jasmine
• Rose

3. Ward Off Illness. 

Using a diffuser in your home or office is a great way to keep cold, flu, and other nasty illnesses away.  Many essential oils are powerfully anti-microbial and when introduced into the air in vapor form, the organic compounds within the oils come into direct contact with airborne pathogens before they can invade your body. Essential oils can be used to boost the immune system.  Some diffusers also double as humidifiers which will help to keep your airways moist and healthy so you are less susceptible to any microbes that do make it into your body.

Recommended oils:

• Tea tree
• Sage
• Rosemary
• Grapefruit
• Lemon
• Thyme 

4. Helps You Breathe Easier

Essential oils are great for reducing inflammation and congestion in clogged airways to help you breathe more easily. If you are prone to allergies or other breathing disorders, try diffusing essential oils in the room (or rooms) of your home where you spend the most time. Just remember to keep a box of tissues handy as your nose and sinuses begin to open so you can also avoid that mad dash to the bathroom!

 Recommended essential oils:  

• Peppermint
• Rosemary
• Lemon
• Eucalyptus

5. Pain Relief

While most people will tell you to apply essential oils directly to the body for pain relief, you can also use a diffuser as a way to deliver their healthful benefits. This mode is a great way to potentially alleviate pain and discomfort caused by headaches, sore joints, and fatigued muscles.

Recommended essential oils: 

• Ginger
• Chamomile
• Lavender
• Eucalyptus
• Clary sage
• Rosemary
• Bergamot 

6. Improve Cognitive Function

Using essential oils in a diffuser is a highly-effective way to super-charge your brain cells. Again, this effect works on multiple levels. 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, the oils in the air will help you to focus. Also, there are several essential oils which are known for their powerful ability to balance the body’s hormones. With regular use, these oils can actually help to heal the underlying causes responsible for hampering cognitive function.

Recommended essential oils: 

• Peppermint
• Eucalyptus
• Lemo
• Pine 

7. Safer Alternative to Candles & 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 much greater effect – without the risk of burns, wax spills, or other accidents.

Recommended essential oils: 

• Any essential oil with a high-quality diffuser 

8. Repel Insects

Whether your problem is mosquitoes, house flies, or fruit flies, you can use essential oils in your diffuser to deter these pesky little creatures from entering your home.

Recommended essential oils:

• Clove
• Lemongrass
• Rosemary,
• Cedarwood 

9. Keep You Cool and Feeling Fresh

In hot summer months, running the air conditioner all day and all night is a definite way to send your electric bill skyrocketing.  Instead, try diffusing your favorite crisp, cooling minty essential oils in the rooms where you spend the most time to help you beat the heat.

Recommended essential oils: 

• Peppermint
• Eucalyptus
• Spearmint
• Wintergreen
