It’s the fall season and you know what that means, right? Pumpkin spice everything!>
Yep, this is the time of year you’ll see everything from pumpkin spice lattes at the coffee shop to fall-inspired air fresheners as well as scented candles in stores. The problem is that those air fresheners and candles are loaded with chemicals which have been linked with health problems, such as asthma, allergies, and other respiratory issues.>
Why Use a Diffuser Instead of Candles or Air Fresheners
A diffuser is a unique household must-have that can replace those plug-in air fresheners – which contain chemical ingredients that have been linked to a number of serious health issues – together with scented candles – which are far from “natural”. When you see the term ‘fragrance’ on an air freshener or scented candle, remember that it can include up to 300 toxic chemicals but still just say ‘fragrance’. Scented candles are actually just as bad as second-smoke. How is that possible? The artificial fragrance and the air pollution caused by burning the candles.>
That’s okay, there’s a better way… use a diffuser with therapeutic-grade essential oils instead. You can even recreate your favorite pumpkin spice and fall scents with essential oils, and by doing so, avoid all those chemical ingredients.>
Diffusing these fall-inspired scents can be a great way to help transition you and your family into the fall season, which then can will help to address mood and emotions. Check out more diffuser recipes here.>
How to Choose a Diffuser
I have several models of diffusers, and I can tell you hands-down the best is Young Living. I use their oils in the diffuser too. But what I love about them (over the ones from Target or Amazon) is that the Young Living diffusers disperse way more essential oils into the air. You can literally smell the difference. The diffusers also come with a one-year product warranty, so you can easily get a part replaced or the entire unit if you need to. I had several diffusers from other online stores stop working within a couple of months with no replacement.>
You can get a diffuser at retail, but I highly suggest getting a starter kit at 60% off that includes the diffuser for free. I really like the Desert Mist (which has different LED settings – even a candle flicker setting – and goes for 8-10 hours). That way you get the diffuser and the oils all in one set. I only use about 6-10 drops total in the diffuser for each use.>
In general, add about 10 drops of essential oils to a diffuser. Here are some great fall essential oil diffuser recipes to start trying now …>
