Did you know that the average person spends about 90% of their time indoors? That’s not because we’re all indoor people and avoiding outdoor living, it’s just because we spend so much time at work and in our homes. But before you go running out to turn your office into a rainforest, there are some other things you should know first:

One such thing is that air pollution has been linked to as many as 7 million premature deaths each year. There are also natural toxins like formaldehyde and benzene which could be coming from your carpeting, furniture or other household items. And all those artificial scents coming from your cleaning supplies and cosmetics could make allergies worse for those with sensitivities.

So what can you do about it? How can you live a healthier lifestyle that goes beyond just eating right and exercising? One way to clean your home and reduce odors, while also providing stress relief and promote a better night’s sleep is purchasing an Essential Oil Diffuser.

What is an Essential Oil Diffuser?

An Essential Oil Diffuser uses hot water to warm the essential oils inside of it, which then releases scents throughout your room. You could also use Essential Oil Diffusers for aromatherapy, to soothe and relax the mind and body. They come in all shapes and sizes, from cube diffusers to larger tabletop models. And they don't have to be expensive either! 

Not only are Essential Oil Diffusers a great way to make your home smell nice and relaxing, but they could also help reduce chemical pollutants. One German study found that aromatherapy brings our nervous systems back in line, which can help with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) symptoms. The scent can also help you sleep.

Some Essential Oil Diffusers use heat to separate the oil from the water, and then warms the oils to disperse them into the air. Others use ultrasonic waves, which vibrate the water so that it breaks down and allows you to smell it. Some use a combination of both methods.

How to choose an Essential Oil Diffuser:

Watts: It’s sort of like the horsepower in your car. A higher wattage means that the essential oils will spread more for a larger area, which is usually what you’re looking for. But, if it’s going to be in a small space then you may overheat and damage the Essential Oil Diffuser.

Tank Capacity: If it doesn’t have enough capacity to hold the essential oil, then it won’t work very well for you. If a unit doesn’t have an on/off button then it will also run out of scent quickly. You want to find one that has a tank capacity that fits your lifestyle, whether that means 5 hours, 10 hours, or more. 

Modes: You want to be able to run your essential oil diffuser differently based on the effect you’re looking to get from it. Some like ‘white noise’ mode, while others prefer ‘humidity’ or ‘mist’ mode.These different modes suit different preferences or situations, so it’s important to choose an Essential Oil Diffuser that has more than just one single way of operating.  

How much does an Essential Oil Diffuser cost?

As we mentioned earlier, there are several diffusers on the market today that are priced anywhere from $20 to $200+..l If you plan on using it for different purposes, then a model in the $50-$100 range should do the trick. If you plan on using it for a long time and for aromatherapy purposes, we recommend that you do your research to find one that fits your budget and lifestyle.

How to use an Essential Oil Diffuser:

First and foremost, please make sure to read your owner’s manual before using one. Most will give you all sorts of information about how to get started, such as how much water it holds, how long it will take to heat up, and what size room they’re built to accommodate. 

Now, with that being said, here are some steps to know:

Turn the diffuser on. This may be done from a switch, button, or a dial. Also make sure to check inside the tank to make sure it’s filled with water and has all of your essential oil inside.

Make sure not to put in too much water! Fill it with enough water so that the heat will have time to soak into the essential oil before you turn off the unit. The manual should let you know how much water should be sufficient for it to work. In addition, the essential oil diffusers should have a line on the inside of the product, indicating the maximum amount of water that is permissible for the Essential oil diffuser to function as it should. 

You may want to fill it with some distilled water since tap water in many areas could be at risk for pollutants and H2O could cool off the unit, which would stop it from working effectively. This is especially important because the water is the main component that allows the essential oils to disperse their distinct aromas in a room.  Wait at least 10 minutes before turning off the unit, but not more than 30 minutes.
