Diffusing Options and Tips for Essential Oils

Diffusing Options and Tips for Essential Oils

Diffusing is simply distributing essential oils into the air so they clean the air and are inhaled. In your home or office, it is an ideal way to help relieve tension, dispel odors, and create an environment of peace and harmony. A diffuser disperses the oils without heating them; therefore, retaining their therapeutic benefits.

When you heat essential oils, such as in a candle or diffusers that have a candle burning underneath the well then the therapeutic benefits are completely destroyed and the essential oil becomes simply fragrance.
