Why I choose to DIFFUSE!

I used to love to burn candles, but in my quest to lead a healthier lifestyle I am avoiding chemicals when I can, and many people don't realize that when you burn candles you are burning petrochemicals. So how can you get the aroma of a candle without releasing chemicals into the air?  By diffusing Essential Oils that are therapeutic grade like Young Living of course! Not only do you get a home that smells delicious, but you are benefiting from aromatherapy.  Here is why you should diffuse over burning candles.

What is diffusing you ask?  Diffusing is a way to get essential oils into the air in your home through a special device called a diffuser, although you can add oils to bath water as well. By using a diffuser, oils can safely enter the air eliminating odors and creating a relaxing atmosphere by dispersing a mixture of water and EO's into microparticles.  A candle can do this as well, but when you burn a candle, you are releasing toxins.  Even Scentsy, wickless candle products, are full of petrochemicals as they are made from crude oil and artificial fragrances. Why chance this when you can get the same yummy smells from diffusing as well as be rewarded with healthy benefits?

What can diffusing offer you that burning candles/wickless candle products can't?  You get plant oils released in your home that are oxygenating molecules.  You get antiviral, anti-fungal, and immune stimulating properties.  You are inhaling these molecules.  When you burn a candle or a wickless candle product, you are inhaling a parrafin wax that is not therapeutic grade and is actually a bi-product of the refining process.  This is the same process used to make gasoline. According to  Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, burning paraffin can contain formaldehyde. Airborne toxins cause chronic health issues. Why would you want to increase your chances of having a chronic health issue?

I choose to diffuse.  When I want to relax, unwind, or promote a good night's rest I diffuse Peace & Calming (Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, Tangerine, Orange, Blue Tansy). When I want to fight illness by boosting my immune system I diffuse Thieves (Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Cinnamon, Clove and Lemon). When I want to rid the home of foul odors I diffuse Purification (Lemongrass, Tee Tree Oil, Rosemary, Myrtle, Lavandin, Citronella). Need to improve concentration? Diffuse peppermint. Diffusing is always better than burning a candle or using a wickless candle product with questionable ingredients. EO's are the way to go!!!
