Essential Oil Diffusers Are “Dope”
Let me begin by clarifying that I have never used the word “dope” in the context of something being “cool” EVER. I am probably too old to use such youthful slang but I couldn’t come up with a better term to describe my affection for this little slice of heaven that I, honestly, CANNOT live without. There aren’t too many things I can say that about but
my essential oil diffuser definitely fits into that category.
Just what exactly IS an essential oil diffuser you ask? Well what it’s not is a diffuser for your hair. Yes, we all have one of those that never gets used but this diffuser is different. Essential oil diffusers come in many shapes and sizes andhave different time settings ranging from one hour to as many as five hours. Some will run even longer than that at one time. Diffusers are an effective way to experience aromatherapy throughout your home because they disperse essential oils as a fine vapor throughout the air so they can be absorbed gently into the body through the respiratory system.
I use mine every single day and night and have several throughout the house…one in the living room, one in the spare room, and one right next to my bed. I even got us one for our RV because I can’t sleep at night without it.
My favorite essential oil to put in at bedtime is Doterra’s Serenity and every night before I go to bed I fill it with water, put in 3 to 4 drops of my EO. I set it for 4 hours and I jump in bed for a great nights sleep.
The benefits from a diffuser are endless but my top three are:
- Relaxation and a restful night’s sleep (Serenity, Lavender)
- Mood elevation/uplifting (Citrus Bliss)
- Immune system (On Guard and Respiratory relief (Breathe)
Restful sleep is important to me and I honestly don’t sleep worth a hoot unless I’ve got the diffuser going. In fact, it’s on while I’m writing this blog and I’m getting sleepy. In addition, in the morning when I want to start my day off happy and in a good mood I put a few drops of Doterra’s Citrus Bliss or some other citrus-y blend to uplift or elevate my mood. When the grandkids are around I make sure to put a few drops of Doterra’s On Guard for keeping us all healthy. For allergies and stuffy noses, I put a few drops of Breathe in to clear our heads. There are so many other essential oils you can use but those are my favorites that I use ALL the time.
You can purchase diffusers online or in some retail stores and they vary in price. The ones I have, however, are from…you guessed it…Doterra! They’re good quality and have lasted me a few years now and I’m talking almost every day usage.
I’ve got plans for another day to do a blog on EO’s because I love them so much but for today I’ve got to brag on diffusers. I’m even going to go out on a limb and say that everybody needs at least one. If you’ve never tried one I highly recommend you do. If you’re looking for better, restful sleep at night you owe it to yourself to give it go. You’ll be glad you did.
Happy Diffusing!!!!
