Are you looking for a way to bring some cozy and relaxing vibes into your home with none of the toxins in candles or air fresheners? We’re chatting all about why you should be diffusing essential oils in your home & some of my favorite oils for diffusing!
If you follow me on any of my platforms, you know that one of my biggest goals is being intentional with the products we use in our home. Over the last several years, we’ve ditched so many of our toxic products for natural, safer alternatives & diffusing essential oils instead of burning candles or using wax melts, air fresheners, or synthetic room sprays has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made!
the benefits of diffusing essential oils
Diffusing is the process of dispersing essential oils into the air using a device called a diffuser. There are many benefits to diffusing essential oils, including their ability to improve mood, boost immunity, and purify the air. Many essential oils have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, promote relaxation, and improve sleep too! For example, lavender oil is well-known for its calming properties – we diffuse it every night before bed to unwind & support a restful night of sleep.
In addition to their emotional benefits, diffusing essential oils can also help to purify the air we breathe. Essential oils like thieves and eucalyptus have natural antimicrobial properties, which can help to kill airborne bacteria and viruses. This makes diffusing essential oils a great way to keep your home healthy & clean, along with smelling amazing!
why we love diffusing:
+ Diffusers don’t have an open flame, making them safe for kiddos & pets (and no air pollutants)
+ Most of our diffusers run for 6-12 hours, which makes it so simple
+ They act as a humidifier & air purifier too!
+ You can control how strong the smell is by how many drops of oil you use
+ You can switch the scent whenever you want & we have hundreds of essential oils to choose from
+ Oils last so much longer than candles (you only need a few drops at a time)
+ Essential oils have therapeutic benefits! They can support your emotions, immune system, energy level, focus, & so much more!
why young living oils?
The quality of your essential oils MATTER! You are putting them on your skin, breathing them in, using them to clean your home, etc. A veryyyy large portion of the essential oils available today are “fragrance oils” — cheap imitations of the pure essential oil, purchased wholesale in large quantities, diluted with synthetic additives, and rebottled before being sold to you. You need to know where your oils are coming from & that they’re being distilled properly!
The reason Young Living’s oils are so different is their unmatched commitment to producing a pure, unadulterated oil. Young Living’s devotion to creating a highly therapeutic product means they’ve invested in their own farms, care for and nurture their own plants, trees, and shrubs, and finally distill, test, and bottle the oils that arrive on your doorstep. It’s our Seed to Seal quality commitment.
Did you know you can visit Young Living’s farms? Yep, it’s true and we’ve visited their Mona, Utah farm several times & their Kona Farm in Hawaii this fall and continue to be amazed by not only the farm, but the farm managers, distilleries, labs, testing practices, and company as a whole.
Here’s just a few reasons Young Living is different from other essential oil companies:
+ Sourcing: Own their own farms & partner with all of their suppliers so we can trust our essential oils are pure
+ Industry leading science & distilling processes
+ Exhaustive testing both in house and in independent labs, which are published online for anyone to see
+ Sustainable farming, organic soil, and zero pesticides or herbicides used on our farms
