As essential oil sales continue to rise, it has become more widely accepted that there are health benefits in using them. We all know someone who sells them. We may have tried a few, or even be die-hard fans of the healing properties of the oils.

Personal uses of oils are for many reasons

The uses of the oils vary from preventing illness, recovering from illness, or even simply making your home smell better. Oils can be applied directly to the skin. There are different types of applicators, or they can simply be dabbed on the skin. Some oils are made to be taken by mouth. Approved oils can be in capsules or dropped in food or water and taken that way. There are also diffusers for allowing the oils to be put in the air to breathe in the benefits, or to make the home more fragrant.

Using the oils can be wide spread

Diffusers are usually small, such as a jar with sticks, which are a specific type of reed, used because it pulls the oils up from the jar. There are also more modern diffusers, either battery operated or electric which creates a steam to carry the oils into the air. These diffusers bring the benefit of the essential oils directly to the air. Oils can be used to ward off illness. If someone in your office is sick, the diffuser can be a way to reduce the chance that you will catch your co-workers’ cold.

An easier method to diffuse

You may want to diffuse oils throughout your home, but having a diffuser in every room may not be convenient. You have to think about keeping them out of reach of small children and remember to refill each one. An easier way is to use air machines to smell good in any room of the home. These machines can attach directly to your air conditioner. The oil will diffuse through the vents. There is no residue, and it will allow an event distribution of oil throughout the house. You will be able to change the oil when you want, maybe for seasonal fragrance or a special fragrance for the holidays.
