Getting Started with Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy has been used for centuries to promote physical and emotional well-being. Modern ultrasonic diffusers make it easy to enjoy the benefits of essential oils at home — from reducing stress to improving sleep to boosting focus.
Essential Aromatherapy Supplies
- **Diffuser**: An ultrasonic diffuser disperses a fine mist of oil and water into the air
- **Essential oils**: Start with versatile oils like lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, and tea tree
- **Storage**: Keep oils in a cool, dark place to maintain potency
- **Carrier oils**: For topical application, always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil
Popular Essential Oil Uses
- **Lavender**: Relaxation, sleep, stress relief
- **Peppermint**: Energy, focus, headache relief
- **Eucalyptus**: Respiratory support, congestion relief
- **Tea tree**: Antimicrobial, skin care, cleaning
- **Lemon**: Mood boost, focus, natural cleaning
Aromatherapy Tips
- Start with 3-5 drops per diffusion session — you can always add more
- **Run your diffuser for 30-60 minutes at a time**, not continuously
- Clean your diffuser regularly to prevent oil buildup and ensure proper misting
- Never apply undiluted essential oils directly to skin
- Keep oils away from pets — some essential oils are toxic to cats and dogs
