The benefits of using an essential oil diffuser
En este artículo
We all like our home, office or yoga studio to smell good. The best way to keep a space clean and fresh is to air it well, so let's start with that simple habit.
However, we often turn to air fresheners with synthetic fragrances, whose composition isn't always listed. Other times we burn oily materials, which isn't the best idea either.
At Gotes we suggest using essential oils in a diffuser too, so you can enjoy their scent throughout the day in a more natural way.
What is a diffuser?
An essential oil diffuser is a device that breaks essential oils down into tiny particles mixed with water and disperses them into the air, so the scent you've chosen fills the room evenly and pleasantly without overpowering it.
What is it used for?
Depending on the oil, the atmosphere can feel more energising or more relaxing, and the scent stays more stable.
How do you use it?
Fill the diffuser with lukewarm water up to the marked line, or just over half if there isn't one. Add a few drops of one or more essential oils. Try different combinations: you may find your ideal scent.
The ideal amount is 5 to 15 drops, depending on the size of the room. Clean the diffuser often, ideally after each use.
What are the advantages?
Diffusing essential oils is an ideal way to enjoy aromatherapy. Our sense of smell is closely linked to emotions, mood and memory, and a scent can help you:
- Unwind
- Feel more energised
- Create a pleasant atmosphere after exercise
- Focus
- Lift your mood
- Accompany your meditation
If you find it hard to unwind at night, try a little lavender. After a big meal, a fresh scent such as peppermint or sweet orange makes for a pleasant moment after dinner.
Also, because it uses water, a diffuser works as a small humidifier. Heating and cold air can dry out skin, lips and hair, and a little moisture in the air makes the room more comfortable and your skin feel less tight.
Which essential oils should you put in the diffuser?
To relax, try lavender, bergamot or petitgrain. To freshen the air in the colder months, eucalyptus radiata or niaouli. Find them all in our essential oils collection.
