4 Reasons to use an Essential Oil Diffuser
My essential oil diffuser is my #1 all-time favorite wellness tool.
A diffuser doesn’t just make your home smell fabulous. It also has a wide range of emotional, mental and physical benefits!
I will be sharing a few of my favorite benefits with you as well as some of my most beloved diffuser blends I use in my own home.
My diffuser helps me get motivated and inspired. It also helps me sleep, supports my children’s immune systems, and makes our home smell lovely all year.

Reason #1: Cleaner Air in your Home
A diffuser is a small machine that you plug in and will with water and essential oils. The diffuser vaporizes essential oil water droplets into your air. Diffusing essential oils is better for the air quality in your home than candles or incense…plus you don’t have to worry about forgetting a candle burning! Diffusers are also healthier for your air quality than air fresheners, wax melts or plugins. Many people who love candles make the switch to a diffuser and are comforted by never having to worry about forgetting a flame in their house.
Most air fresheners, wax melts and candles are also full of lab-created synthetic chemicals…even the ones labeled as “natural”! Using a diffuser is a great nontoxic alternative.
“I used to love candles…until I began using a diffuser. I am a little bit forgetful and had to remind myself to blow out my candles, which stressed me out. I now have a beautiful-smelling apartment and I get so many compliments on how great it smells, but no fire hazard. Loving it!”
-Ellen Schweikert
My favorite air-purifying essential oils include doTERRA Purify blend (which smells like fresh laundry) and doTERRA Air-X blend (which is specifically made for this purpose). Both of these are fresh, citrusy blends perfect for adding an uplifting aroma to your air while cleaning the air naturally.
Reason #2: Respiratory Benefits
Simply put, using a diffuser can help you breathe better. If someone in your home struggles seasonally (or all year) with sensitivities to pollen, animal dander or dust, a diffuser is a helpful tool.
Diffusing minty essential oils can help clear your airways naturally. Imagine walking into your home and inhaling Peppermint or Eucalyptus, and being able to breathe deeply! This is the power of an essential oil diffuser.
My favorite oils for respiratory health are Peppermint, Eucalyptus oil or doTERRA Breathe Blend (which is formulated with both Peppermint and Eucalyptus). I recommend diffusing these as often as you need to help you breathe better.
Reason #3: Emotional Balance & Mental Clarity
Essential Oil droplets enter our nose and interact with the Olfactory system - under the bridge of our nose - which sends chemical messengers to the rest of our bodies. If you wonder why diffusing works, look no further than the power of our Olfactory system.
These chemical messengers can tell our body and mind to relax, stay focused, get sleepy, get motivated, and so much more. This is the MAGIC of using a diffuser. You can control your mood and mentality naturally using plants!
“Since I began using my diffuser, both of my kids have had better and deeper sleep… which in turn allowed me and my husband to do the same. Not only that - but we also have had more energy. By doing something so simple, I’m giving my entire family a better and more natural quality of life.”
-Leslie Lazo
I have so many recommended essential oils for emotional balance and mental clarity! Here are a few daily favorites:
Stress and sleep: Diffuse Lavender or doTERRA Serenity blend
Focus: Diffuse doTERRA Adaptiv oil blend at your desk or creative space
Morning Motivation: Diffuse Peppermint and Wild Orange together by your bedside
Reason #4: Immune Support
Diffusing has so many benefits for your immune system! I like to diffuse doTERRA OnGuard essential oil blend for immune support especially in the last year. OnGuard has a blend of antioxidant oils that can also help clean your air and support your own body’s natural immune responses.
Start diffusing and notice the changes…
