Benefits of Diffusing Essential Oils

Not only limited to the summer months, essential oils can be diffused all year long and provide many benefits for the mind, body, and spirit. When essential oils are diffused the aroma is dispersed through a fine mist, which we can smell more easily. Your sense of smell is directly linked to your brain and impacts your bodily responses and memory. Consequently, you may notice when you smell certain essential oils you may feel more relaxed or energized. Here are a few of the benefits of diffusing essential oils:

Promotes calm
Boosts focus and concentration
Can provide a cooling sensation
Supports clearer airways
Reduces odors
Refreshes your home
Creates a peaceful environment
Repels bugs, like mosquitoes
