Diffusing
essential oils can help eliminate odors, increase oxygen availability, produce
negative ions and release natural ozone. Many essential oils and blends are
highly antibacterial (see last month’s blog)
and can help eliminate airborne germs and bacteria – which is great for cold
and flu season!
To get the best results, use a cold air
diffuser or one that uses water. Avoid heat, which can make the essential oils
less therapeutic and even create toxic compounds.
Some of the possible advantages of cold
air diffusing include*:
•
Reducing
airborne bacteria, fungus, mold and odors.
•
Relaxation,
stress and tension relief.
•
Clearing
the mind; improvement of concentration, alertness and mental clarity.
•
Helping
with weight management.
•
Relieving
headaches.
•
Improving
sleep.
•
Improving
hormonal balance.
•
Improving
digestive functions.
•
Stimulating
neurotransmitters.
•
Stimulating
secretion of endorphins.
•
Stimulating
growth hormone production and receptivity.
•
Making
your space smell wonderful!!
Start by diffusing essential oils 15-30
minutes per day, working up to 1-2 hours, if desired.
No diffuser? Add several drops of
essential oil to a spray bottle, add water, and use to mist your home, office,
or car. Always shake before spraying.
