Essential Oil Diffuser Benefits: 7 ways Diffusing Essential Oils can improve your wellbeing
Diffusing essential oils is one of the easiest and most effective ways to enjoy the immediate benefits of essential oils and aromatherapy. With minimal effort they can instantly shift the ambiance in your living and work space, and offer great benefits to improve your wellbeing.
What is a diffuser?
A diffuser is a device that breaks down essential oils into super tiny molecules and evenly disperses them into the air so we can easily breathe them in at lower concentrations. Their purpose is to make our living and work spaces smell nicer, while setting the tone for daily, or nightly, activity. Plus they offer many different health benefits that can improve our wellbeing.
If you don’t own a diffuser yet, make sure to check out our diffuser here and read through our recommendations below of the ways to use a diffuser and the specific essential oils to diffuse to improve your wellbeing.
Cliganic’s Diffuser:
Our diffuser is a cool mist diffuser that requires water to help disperse the oils into the atmosphere. It works similarly to a cool mist humidifier that uses ultrasonic vibrations to break down the water and essential oils into tiny molecules that are then lifted out of the device in a gentle cool mist.
This cool gentle mist easily spreads around the room so we can more easily breathe it in and positively impact our mood and our wellbeing. In order for it to work properly, you need to add water into the interior basin and clean it regularly, since the oils can corrode the plastic lining and get sticky.

We need deep, uninterrupted sleep to maintain our health. But research shows that most people have trouble feeling well rested, and this lack of sleep is making more and more people not feel well.

To Help us Relax
Triggering the relaxation response in our bodies and minds is one of the best things we can do to improve our health and wellbeing. It’s been well documented that consistent and unrelenting stress can cause our bodies to manufacture a kind of “chemical cocktail” that if not managed well, can potentially make us feel ill. Our bodies desire rest, so that we can regain and restore the feeling of being in balance. But sometimes we need a little help to get there.
These 3 essential oils can help trigger the relaxation response:
Lavender Oil
Geranium Oil
