Diffusing Essential Oils

Diffusing essential oils is the method of “misting” oils in the air. Diffusing oils in your home or office is a perfect way to help relieve tension, dispel odors, and create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. Diffusing, essential oils has been reported to kill bacteria, support the immune system, and create a feeling of balance and well being.

Why should we diffuse oils?

In 1918 the flu epidemic was in full swing. Masks were worn in an attempt to keep doctors and nurses from inhaling the lethal virus. It didn’t work. They found that the virus was much smaller than the openings in the gauze. Volunteers who wore those masks lost their lives. They simply inhaled the virus right through their masks.

Today, we know that by diffusing a micro-fine, vaporized mist of certified pure therapeutic-grade essential oils into an enclosed atmosphere, potentially life-threatening viruses and bacteria are rendered harmless.

With the threat of super bugs growing ever more resistant to vaccines and antibiotics, diffusing essential oils makes more sense. To put is simply, diffusing essential oils is the ultimate home health care defense against life-threatening organisms.

While diffusing essential oils will not stop a person from being infected outside of the home, it does create an infectious free zone of air within the home you can use to protect your loved ones. Breathing air diffused with essential oils attacks any virus or bacteria lining the respiratory tract which may have been inhaled outside of the infectious free zone. It also keeps the infection from spreading to other family members.

Which diffuser is best?

The preferred diffuser is the one sold by doTERRA. It has a special air pump designed to disburse essential oils in a micro-fine vapor where they stay suspended for several hours to reduce airborne infectious pathogens, fungus, mold, and freshen the air with natural fragrances. When essential oils are diffused, the molecules are broken up into micro-fine mist particles. These mist particles stay suspended in the air for long periods of time. Not only does this reduce bacteria, mold and odors in the air, but these micro-mist particles also benefit those who inhale them.

Don’t mask the odors

Diffused essential oils don’t just mask odors; they actually alter the structure of the molecules that create odors and render them harmless! Another huge benefit is that diffused essential oils increase the available oxygen in the room while producing negative ions.

Diffusing releases oxygenating molecules as well as negative ions, which kill microbes. Testing at Weber State University proves conclusively that diffusing essential oils kills life-threatening airborne micro-organisms. Research also shows that cold-air diffusing certain oils may:

* Reduce bacteria, fungus, mold, and unpleasant odors.
* Relax the mind and body, relieve tension, and clear the mind.
* Help with weight management.
* Improve concentration, alertness, and mental clarity.
* Dispel odors.
