What are the benefits?

  1. Scents a room quickly: Although essential oils have a ton of other mental and physical benefits when used, one of the main reasons why diffusers are so popular is because they scent rooms very quickly using essential oils. In comparison to candles, these are so much more effective. This means that if your house smells of food after cooking, or the bathroom has a bad odour - you can rely on your diffuser to perform within a number of minutes. 
  2. Repels insects: If you’re tired of putting bug repellent on your skin, you need to invest in a diffuser. Putting one close to you not only leaves the room smelling gorgeous, but it keeps pesky insects at bay so you can let your skin breathe.
  3. A little goes a long way: Some essential oils aren’t cheap, so having a diffuser allows you to stretch the lifespan of your essential oil collection. 2-3 drops can give you up to 3 hours of diffusing time in some diffusers, which is pretty powerful if you think of it in that way.
  4. Easy to maintain: Most diffusers on the market are easy to clean and manage, so you don’t need to worry that you’re going to spend hours of your time cleaning it. As long as you keep a damp cloth nearby, you’ll have a clean diffuser all year around. There’s also no chance of mess like you would get with oil burners or candles.
  5. Safe around pets and children: Some essential oils are toxic to children or pets when applied topically - and that can feel stressful if you still want to use them in the home. Diffusers allow for you to still use essential oils but in a safeguarded way, so you don’t need to worry about your children and pets being affected.
  6. Improves mental health: Along with a gorgeous scent, an essential oil diffuser allows for quick distribution, and the essential oils can directly impact your mental health. Whether this is aiding restful sleep or reducing anxiety - essential oil diffusers tackle it all.
  7. No topical application needed: If you’re someone who struggles with topical applications due to sensitive skin - have no fear. You can still enjoy the wonders of essential oils through using a diffuser, so if you’re someone who can’t cope with topical application, an essential oil diffuser is just what you need so you can still feel the benefits of essential oils.
