Essential oils are all the rage these days – and for good reason! Read on for 10 amazing health benefits of using air diffusers.
1. It can promote good sleep
Diffused essential oils such as lavender, bergamot, and sandalwood have relaxing properties that can stimulate neurotransmitter activities leading to the production of the ‘sleep hormone’ melatonin for a restful and uninterrupted sleep.
2. It can elevate the mood
The mist from the air diffuser can also trigger the release of serotonin and dopamine, dubbed as ‘happy hormones’, which can either instantly brighten up your mood or lessen the feelings of melancholy and sadness. Ylang-ylang, grapefruit, and peppermint are some instant pick-me-ups that can turn your day around.
3. It can relieve stress
Just as an air diffuser can improve sleeping habits and can encourage positive feelings, it can also be used to bring about a wonderful sense of calm and tranquility. Blended oils such as frankincense and orange as well as bergamot and lime are winning combos to level out stressed-filled breathing and make you feel less anxious and jittery.
4. It can boost immune system
There are many essential oils that can be used to purify the air and keep airborne germs at bay. Inhaling diffused oil from tea tree, lemon, and eucalyptus can increase blood and lymph circulation for a better immune system while also clearing congestion, coughs, and colds.
5. It can repel pesky bugs
An air diffuser with insect-repellent oils is a simple yet effective way to keep mosquitoes, flies, and insects away because either they cannot stand the aroma or it is fatal for them. Citronella, catnip, clove, and lemongrass are fool-proof options to keep your immediate area bug free.
6. It can help for weight loss
It doesn’t mean that all the belly fat and love handles will magically melt away but diffusing ginger, cinnamon, grapefruit, and orange oils in the air can curb your appetite and help you resist binge-eating or mindless food consumption. This is because its invigorating scent relaxes the parasympathetic gastric nerve which triggers your hunger hormones.
7. It can ease pain and inflammation
An essential oil diffuser can provide quick, safe, and natural relief against pain and inflammation – from migraines and headaches to sinus, muscle spasms, and joint swelling. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain killing) properties of rosemary, chamomile, coconut, and olive oil can promote physical and mental relaxation.
8. It can enhance cognitive function
Having an air diffuser inside the room can eliminate symptoms associated with memory disturbances – resulting to better focus, concentration, and alertness of mind. Try cypress, basil, and bergamot to clear your thoughts or increase brain wave activities.
9. It can create a healthy environment
Unlike candles or air fresheners, an air diffuser administered correctly can purify indoor air. Lemon, red Mandarin, peppermint, and lime oil can remove any lingering musty stench within the room for a fresher, cleaner environment.
10. It can kill mold and mildew
Diffusing essential oils in the air can break down free radicals that are responsible for mold and mildew buildup. Cinnamon, thyme, pine, and clove are bacteria-fighting essential oils you can use to defend your home against mold and mildew growth.
