Diffusing is my absolute favorite way to use essential oils. Whether I’m filling my home with some scrumptious scent or combating odors, germs, or illness – diffusing therapeutic-grade essential oils is important to me for improved wellness in our family, as well as for the pleasurable scent it produces.

Recently, the children were behaving like they had all been given sugar intravenously (don’t worry – they hadn’t). The noise level was beyond reasonable…and the children were pretty loud too! ;-) I decided to try diffusing Peace and Calming in the main room of our house. My youngest daughter came downstairs and saw the soothing mist coming from my Home Diffuser. She smiled, cuddled up beside me with her book, and told me how goooood it smelled. Then she opened her book and seemed to settle down.

I’m not sure if the children actually got quieter, or if I was just better able to handle the noise, responding with a bit more gentleness; however, I do know my emotions (and theirs) were influenced by the soothing aroma.

A diffuser is also indispensable when a family member has a cold or cough. With cold and flu season in full swing, I view my diffuser as one of the most important health tools I have! I love to diffuse the Thieves blend (which contains: clove, lemon, cinnamon, Eucalyptus, radiata, and rosemary) to cleanse, oxygenate, and freshen the air.

Primary Benefits of Diffusing

  • Transform your surroundings: Create a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere or instantly brighten the mood of your home or office.
  • Eliminate odors: Remove lingering smells without resorting to synthetic air fresheners.
  • Protect your family’s health: Safeguard your family’s health by detoxing your home from harmful household chemicals.
  • Introduce healing oils into the air for amazing health benefits

Diffusing to Eliminate Odors

Diffused therapeutic-grade essential oils alter the structure of molecules that create odors, rather than simply masking them. They also increase oxygen availability and produce negative ions.

History of Diffusing

The term “aromatherapy” was coined by the French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé in the early 1920s. Gattefossé spent his life devoted to essential oils and their healing properties. However, for more than 6,000 years prior to Gattefossé, aromatherapy had been used by the Egyptians, Romans, and the Greeks. Imhotep, an Egyptian physician, suggested that oils be used for massage, bathing, and embalming the dead. Hippocrates, known as the father of modern medicine, used aromatic smoke and vapors to purge Athens of the plague.

Today, much has been theorized regarding the effects of diffusing essential oils, which can be considered similar to the aromatic smoke used by Hippocrates. It has been hypothesized that when essential oils are diffused, they can increase atmospheric oxygen by releasing oxygenating molecules into the air. Not only can essential oils increase oxygen in the atmosphere, they also increase the body’s ability to transport oxygen into the cells. The lipid-soluble structure of essential oils allows them to easily penetrate the cell membranes of the nose and enter into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the oils can help transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells.

Two Tips for Selecting the Right Diffuser

There are many types of diffusers on the market today, here are a few things you should know in order to make an educated decision.

  1. It is very bad practice to use a diffuser that uses heat as a means of dispersing the essential oil into the air. Heat fractures the molecules of the essential oil destroying the beneficial properties. While an essential oil may still smell good, it contains very little if any therapeutic benefit, and can even create toxic compounds. Types of diffusers that use heat and are NOT recommended are: plug-in, candle, burner, aroma lamps, and light bulb rings.
  2. If you are eliminating or preventing a mold situation the only diffuser recommended is the “Essential Oil Diffuser” (cold-air, nebulizer) shown below. The other diffusers are not recommended for mold because they will not provide a shock-treatment to combat mold, and others are dispersed with water.

Home Diffuser

Electric Home Essential Oil DiffuserThis is the diffuser I use. Young Living’s Home Diffuser emits essential oils into the air using ultrasonic technology to safely eliminate odors. The Home Diffuser is a natural alternative to synthetic air fresheners.

The Home Diffuser combines the latest in diffuser technology with increased usability. By breaking up a mixture of water and essential oil into millions of micro-particles, the Home Diffuser disperses an aromatic mist into the air, activating the beneficial constituents found in Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils. The diffuser comes complete with continuous and internal timer settings and the option to enjoy its soothing light system. Ideal for diffusing any of your favorite essential oils, it’s the perfect addition to any room in your home.

The Home Diffuser includes a free 5 ml bottle of Lavender and Citrus Fresh essential oils.

Bronze Essential Oil Diffuser (Cold-air, Nebulizer)

The benefits of the “Essential Oil Diffuser” are that it puts the essential oil into the air in micro-fine particles that stay suspended in the air for several hours. This is beneficial because in order to kill micro-organisms and mold you must get the essential oil into the air so that it can come into contact with the molecules or mold spores that you are looking to eliminate. The Essential Oil Diffuser disperses essential oils without heating them so they retain their therapeutic benefits.

Note: This type of diffuser is the one recommended specifically for preventing and eliminating mold.
