Aromatherapy has been around for a long time. Ancient civilizations all over the world used aromatherapy—and essential oils in general—for all kinds of purposes. Due to the advances in science, aromatherapy relegated to the sidelines as alternative medicine. Nevertheless, the benefits of diffusing essential oils are undeniable.
Essential oils are highly potent liquids, so immense caution is needed when using them. Believe it or not, there is a right way to use essential oils.
The safest way to use and get the benefits of essential oils is through aromatherapy. With aromatherapy, essential oils are released into the air and enter through the nasal passages. The effectiveness of aromatherapy depends primarily on the type of diffuser you use.
The nebulizing diffuser is the most efficient diffuser on the market at the moment. Instead of water or heat, which dilutes and alters an essential oil’s chemical composition respectively, this diffuser uses pressurized air to release particles of essential oils into the air. Those particles you inhale are in their purest form. If you are after the health benefits of essential oils, the nebulizing diffuser is your best choice.
If you’re still skeptical about the abilities of essential oils to promote health and overall well-being, here are 99 reasons you should start diffusing essential oils.
Essential oils are extracted from plants and other plant parts, so they are natural and non-toxic. It is completely safe to inhale them.
Essential oils are known for their scent. You are guaranteed to love at least one essential oil’s aroma. On top of that, you can combine different essential oils to create a unique scent.
Aromatherapy requires a bit of research, but other than that, it is easy to do.
Some essential oils have antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties that make them powerful against air toxins. They don’t just mask the smell; they also destroy bacteria, antigens, and dust particles.
When dispersed with a nebulizing diffuser, essential oils can cover a large area and keep it smelling fresh for a long time. They can mask the smell of even the strongest food odors.
All homes have their own scent, and no one wants their home to smell musky or unpleasant. Create your own signature scent by combining essential oils and diffusing them all over your home. This way, you can create a welcoming atmosphere for your guests.
