Diffusing Essential Oils

I’ve not used artificial fragrance in my home (or on my skin) since my discovery of essential oils and diffusion many years ago. I’ve always had the experience, as many people have, of a memory being triggered by an aroma, perhaps more than any other sense.

Now I know that’s because aromas stimulate the limbic system of the brain where our emotions reside. This is why people report improvements in energy, focus and mood when using  aromatherapy.

The diffuser distributes the oils into the air, ionizing it and making the entire environment smell nice and seem somehow brighter. When essential oils are breathed in or enter the body through the skin, many therapeutic emotional and physical benefits can be enjoyed.
