Having a hectic week again? Getting de-stressed would be the ideal way to enter the weekend. Going to a spa is one way to reduce stress. But for many people, the spa is not a practical solution because it can be very costly and time consuming.

How to reduce stress with aromatherapy and essential oil

A more practical and cost effective method to reduce stress is by using aromatherapy and essential oils. All you need to do is make a one-time investment in an aromatherapy diffuser. Pleasant and soothing scents arising out of essential oils have been proven to provide health benefits for people of all ages. A diffuser is easy to use and can be placed in the bedroom, living room or in any living environment where you can relax.

Electrical aromatherapy diffuser

Modern aromatherapy diffusers produce ultrasound waves, which breaks down the scented oil to release a mist of essential oils into your living environment, which can assist in eliminating bacteria and germs in your living space. Electrical diffusers are now available in a variety of different sizes and shapes.

Essential Oil Burner

An alternative to the electrical aromatherapy diffuser is the essential oil burner. Essential oil burners contain a small bowl and a heating element, which results in fragrance being diffused into the air. The essential oils evaporate as steam due to the heat and mixture with the air. Safety precautions should be taken while using oil burners. Aromatherapy diffusers do not need a flame or power source, whereas oil burners require a heating source.

Aromatherapy Diffuser with Essential Oil vs. Spa

Another advantage of aromatherapy diffusers is its ease of mobility that can not be surpassed by essential oil burners. The break down and release of oil molecules is more complete while using a diffuser compared to an essential oil burner, and hence the positive health benefit derived from using an aromatherapy diffuser is always a better than using an essential oil burner. Essential oils used in aromatherapy can be bought as single extracts or as a blend of different oils.

With our fast paced and hectic lifestyle, aromatherapy diffusers provide a practical, cost effective method for stress relief in the comfort of your home or office. Aromatherapy Diffusers are easier and safer to use than oil burner diffusers and provide a good alternative to visiting costly spa’s.
