Benefits of Using a Diffuser

Last year I started cleaning up my act in new ways besides just nutrition.  I started my Safe Product Movement where I encouraged you to start learning how to detox your home.  Since then I have made so many healthy changes.

I was one of those who would buy all the fragranced candles at Target.  While I enjoyed the scent, I started to learn more about just how toxic they can be.  So I learned more about making a healthier switch....

My most recent switch was getting an aromatherapy diffuser for my home.  I'd heard they had healthy benefits, but every time I saw one I was honestly put off by how ugly they were.  Until I came across this bamboo one....

It has mood lights too which I thought would be kinda cheesy when I picked it out, but I now love the colors!  It's so pretty and completely customizable.  You can set the color, have the colors rotate, or turn it off which I do at night.

You can also set the diffuser to fit your needs.  It can be continuous or intermittent and shuts off automatically.  I love using essential oils that fit my mood and needs.  When I'm wanting to freshen my home, I love Lemon or Peppermint.  I love using lavender at night and it's helping me sleep really well!  When we were sick recently, I used "Breathe" by DoTERRA while we slept and it really helped our sinuses and respiration.

I decided to share this pretty Bamboo Diffuser with you because after posting this video on Instagram stories, I got SO many messages asking me about it!

Here are some of the BENEFITS of using a Diffuser in your home and some essential oils to try for certain purposes:

1. SAFER alternative to some candles and incense for your family and pets - any
2. Freshens the home - lemon, peppermint, any you like
3. Purifies the air - tea tree, sage, rosemary, grapefruit, lemon, thyme

I love my diffuser and use it during the day....and at night!  I love that it's another holistic addition to my healthy lifestyle.  If you give it a try I'd love to hear how you like it!  Comment below with how you like it, how you use it, and any oils you love!
