Diffusing Essential Oils for Beginners

Diffusing Essential Oils for Beginners

Who doesn't love an amazing smelling home? But who wants to put chemicals into the air to do it? If you take a look at the most popular room fragrance sprays and scented gels you would probably be shocked at the toxic ingredients. And do those store-bought items give you health benefits? Clean the air? Kill germs? Motivate and energize or lull you to sleep? Probably not. So let's talk about diffusing essential oils!

One of the most debated topics is what diffuser should I buy? There are so many factors that play into this question! Size of the room? Length of run time? Ease of cleaning? You really need to take a good look at the options and choose the best for you. Personally, I love the Zaq Noor diffuser. I have owned two of these for a few years now and had no problems with them. You can find it on Amazon here: Zaq Noor Diffuser

Search online, do your research, read the reviews, and make a good decision that will benefit you and your home!

Now, let's get to the fun stuff! You own your diffuser and want to start creating the perfect atmosphere in your home or office. I'm going to walk you through some of the most popular and beneficial diffuser blends. Some are very simple and some have a few more ingredients but all of them are effective and smell amazing!

• Need some ENERGY?
• 4 drops Peppermint + 4 drops Wild Orange OR any Citrus oil
• Time to FOCUS?
• 2 drops Frankincense + 2 drops Vetiver + 4 drops Lavender
• Want some JOY in your day?

Really the options are endless. Play around with your oils and see what makes you feel good. Many people benefit from switching things up every couple weeks to get the most benefit from the oils. If you are interested, please contact me anytime!

The blends I have listed for you today are geared toward specific goals in your day (with the exception of Flower Garden - that just smells good!). If you really are just wanting your home to smell good, you can diffuse any blend of your oils! Aim for about 6-8 drops of essential oil in your recipe. Check your diffuser's instructions for guides on cleaning your diffuser to keep it running smoothly. 

Sit back, inhale, and enjoy!
