Diffusing Essential Oils For Daily Health

Essential oils can be an effective healing tool. Here are easy ways to diffuse them

- Cheryl Cromer

Essential oils tap a plant’s unique scent from its flowers, leaves, roots, bark, and other parts and offer a natural way to scent your home. But beyond scent, aerial diffusion offers an easy way to deploy the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. Diffusing the right essential oils can quickly affect your mood and physical health.

DIFFUSING OILS

You don’t have to invest in an expensive diffuser to enjoy aromatherapy. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to a tissue or handkerchief, hold to your nose, and breathe deeply. The aroma will revive or relax, while the oil’s aromatic properties instill their therapeutic value at a cellular level.

Aromatherapy pendants and bracelets are another way to diffuse scent. Or pour your favorite oils into a pocket-sized inhaler. These portable methods are especially effective in enclosed or public areas where others may be sensitive to scent.
