Essential Oil Diffuser
Just another way to continue enjoying peace and calm in your home
Years ago burning incense was one of my favorite ways to make the house smell great. I ran through quite a few packages rather quickly. Once my children were mobile and running around I curtailed burning incense to reduce just one less incident leading us to an emergency room; the double earaches were enough for me.
It was last fall when I started using my essential oil diffuser and purchased a huge variety of oils to choose from. I also bought a book about how many uses there are for the oils and found it worthwhile. It lets you know which scents are beneficial for however you’d like to feel or whatever small issue you may be experiencing. For instance orange essential oil aides in the feeling of joy, peppermint is invigorating and lavender can be used at night in the bedroom to help to induce the feeling of calm. The book illustrates how to make healing lotions, personal care products, oils for your pets and what oils to stock in your medicine cabinet.
Most people tend to equate scents with memories and love how they make them feel. I can easily produce a feeling of content and warmth when using the cinnamon and vanilla combo during Thanksgiving time. Christmas memories with family, great food and laughter flood my mind when I pour balsam fir oil in the diffuser.
On a normal day I love ylang ylang for a mood lifter and a combo of patchouli (reminds me of a good friend I lost to breast cancer) and grapefruit. These are the same oils I also use in my homemade deodorant.
Essential oils have been around for many, many years and used for medicinal remedies. They have been known to ease symptoms of arthritis, depression, skin irritations, digestive disorders, etc. I use them daily because I love how they make me feel and I get to choose how I want to feel depending on what scent I use. And I love options!
