HOW TO DIFFUSE ESSENTIAL OILS
There are all kinds of essential oil diffusers. However, cold water ultrasonic diffusion is considered safe and effective.
Ultrasonic diffusers come in different sizes, and it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s directions.
As a general rule though, you can use the following:
- 100ml diffuser – use 3 to 5 drops of essential oils.
- 150ml diffuser – use 8 to10 drops.
- 500ml diffuser – requires about 15 to 20 drops.
HOW LONG YOU SHOULD DIFFUSE FOR
You don’t need to diffuse essential oils all day long. They are powerful, and you don’t want to overpower a room either.
It’s recommended that you diffuse essential oils for an hour and turn your diffuser off for an hour.
Make sure you have proper ventilation in the room too.
HEALTH NOTES
Do not consume essential oils.
If you suffer from allergies, chronic illness, you are pregnant, or you take drug-interactive medications, please check with your health practitioner before using essential oils.
Essential oils can be toxic to animals. Please check with your vet before using essential oils near your pets.
Face masks tend to get stale the longer you wear them. You can add a dab of Protect essential oil to the corners of your face mask to freshen them up, and give you added protection. Just make sure if you wear cloth masks to check they are colourfast.
