Everlasting Comfort’s Essential Oil Diffuser is Changing the Game 

What are essential oils? What are the benefits? How do you use them? Read on for the answers to these questions and more.

Essential oils are oils extracted from plants for their health benefits. The medicinal properties in essential oils come from the terpenes. Terpenes are what gives plants their smell, such as pine, lavender, and citrus.  

The benefits of essential oils are as diverse as the plants they come from. They can be used for all sorts of issues including: 

• Pain management 
• Digestion 

• Stress relief 
• Emotional balance 
• Anxiety 
• Insect repellent and treating bites 
• Congestion 

Additionally, certain oils have antiseptic and antibacterial properties making them fantastic to have on hand for wound and burn care.   

You can add oils to your cleaning products or homemade beauty products. Apply a few drops onto wool dryer balls to provide a fresh scent to your clothes without artificial fragrances. Add them to cocoa butter, coconut oil, or other oils and apply to your skin.  

The most important thing to know about essential oils is that not all oils are created equally. When looking for essential oils to use either topically, to ingest, or to diffuse, you want oils that do not have additives, synthetic fillers, heavy metals, or other contaminants. You should look for therapeutic grade oils.  

When purchasing oils, you want to know how the plants were grown. If the plants are grown with pesticides or other chemicals, that gets into the plant and can contaminate the oil that is extracted. You also want to ensure you know how the oil was extracted and produced. You typically will want to avoid using oils that were extracted using solvents. You do not want to be ingesting, inhaling, or applying toxins or other harmful chemicals.  

Look for purity standards, third party testing, and how the oil is stored. Essential oils are usually sold in amber or blue glass containers. The color of the containers protects the oil from sunlight, which can degrade the oil. You never want to buy oils that are kept in plastic. The strength of most oils will break down the plastic and it will seep into the oil.  

 Diffusing essential oils is an extremely popular way to get the benefits from the oils. There are six different ways to diffuse oils.  

1. Electric 
2. Ultrasonic 
3. Terra cotta 
4. Sprays 
5. Candle lamp 
6. Crafts (reed, sachets, potpourri) 

Each method of diffusion provides different benefits and aesthetics.  

Since different terpenes provide different benefits, you may want to diffuse different oils for different reasons. You can diffuse individual oils or blend them to maximize the benefits for a unique aromatic and therapeutic experience.  

Peppermint and eucalyptus are well known for clearing congestion. Mint based and citrus based oils are invigorating and can boost energy. Lavender, Roman chamomile, and ylang ylang are well known for the relaxing and calming properties. This is just a small example of some of the benefits of essential oils.  

Everlasting Comfort’s essential oil diffuser is a fantastic ultrasonic diffuser to use to maximize the benefits of your essential oils. A high-capacity diffuser, it provides approximately 13 hours of diffusion via sonic waves that offer a pleasing mist of water and oil droplets. The amount of time you get will depend on how high you set your mist. Obviously, the more mist you are putting out, the faster it will empty. It also has a timer, so you can set it to your schedule and ensure it turns off when you are not home. It also has a safety auto-shut off feature that will activate when the diffuser runs out of water.  

The diffuser also fits into any decor with its wooden finish and vase-like shape and the option to choose either dark or light tone. It also offers 7 different LED light colors that adjust in brightness with a rainbow feature that cycles through all of them, so you do not have to pick just one.  

It is important to remember that essential oils are powerful and need to be handled with care. Certain oils must be diluted before use. Some people may have sensitivities to oils. Remember to store your oils in a safe place, out of the reach of children and/or pets.  

If diffusion is your preferred method of using essential oils, investing in a high quality, safe diffuser is key. Adding a diffuser to your home or office is one of the many ways that using oils can enhance your mental, emotional and physical well-being. Once you begin using essential oils, you may find yourself learning more about their benefits and finding other ways to use them in different aspects of your life.
