Why Diffuse Essential Oils?

Diffusing essential oils is a wonderful way of harnessing the benefits of essential oils in everyday life.

WHAT DO THEY DO?

They alter the structure of molecules that create odors, rather than just masking them
They also increase oxygen availability, produce negative ions, and release natural ozone
Many essential oils such as Eucalyptus Globulus and Radiata, Frankincense, Grapefruit, Lavender, Lemon, Lemongrass, Orange, and Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia), along with essential oil blends like Melrose, Purification, and Thieves are extremely effective for eliminating odors and cleansing the air.
A cold-air diffuser is designed to atomize a microfine mist of essential oils into the air, where they can remain suspended for several hours. Unlike aroma lamps or candles, a diffuser disperses essential oils without heating or burning, which can render the oil less beneficial and even create toxic compounds.

Check the viscosity or thickness of the oil you want to diffuse. If the oil has too much natural wax and is too thick, it could plug the diffuser and make cleaning difficult.
Start by diffusing oils for 15–30 minutes a day. As you become accustomed to the oils and recognise their effects, you may increase the diffusing time to 1–2 hours per day.
Do not use more than one blend at a time in a diffuser, as this may alter the smell and the benefit. However, a single oil may be added to a blend when diffusing.
Place the diffuser high in the room so that the oil mist falls through the air and removes the odor-causing substances.
If diffusing while sleeping, set your timer for the desired length of time for automatic shut off.
If you want to wash the diffuser before using a different oil blend, use Thieves Household Cleaner with warm water or any natural soap and warm water.
Cold air diffusers are not designed to handle vegetable oils because they are thicker and may clog the diffuser mechanism.
