10 Reasons Why You Need an Essential Oil Diffuser

If you use essential oils like we do, you probably already have an essential oil diffuser. They’re a necessity! But why are diffusers important if you want to start using essential oils, and why buy a high-end essential oil diffuser? There are a lot of reasons we could give you, but we’ve boiled them all down to ten main reasons why you need an essential oil diffuser—and maybe multiple—to keep around your home. Let’s get into it! Here are the top ten reasons why you need an essential oil diffuser.
 

1. Diffusers Help You Create Your Happy Place

Aromas are a powerful way to create the environment you want. In fact, our sense of smell is linked to our memory more than almost anything else—which means that we each have our own unique, individual experiences with specific scents. It’s almost like a scent-memory fingerprint! An essential oil diffuser allows you to lightly infuse any room with single or blended essential oil aromas that conjure up happy memories.
 

For basic diffusing, we love to use our Petal 2.0 Diffuser. It is beautifully designed and is the “old faithful” diffuser of our product lineup.
 

2. They are the Easiest Way to Use Essential Oils

There is truly no easier way to use essential oils in your daily routines than to diffuse them. It takes a matter of seconds to start diffusing so you can enjoy the aromatic benefits of the essential oils you choose as soon as you need them!
 

Any of our diffusers are perfect for simple diffusing throughout the home, but we wanted to make it easy to diffuse on-the-go, too. Our is designed for car or office use, which makes it easier than ever to experience essential oil aromas wherever you happen to go.
 

3. Diffusers Preserve Essential Oil Quality

Ultrasonic diffusers actually help maintain the chemical structure of essential oil aromatic compounds! Where heat can impact this structure, diffusing keeps your essential oil benefits totally intact and protected.
 

All of our diffusers are ultrasonic, so you really can’t go wrong no matter which you decide to buy!
 

4. They Make Great Décor

Diffusers, especially high-quality essential oil diffusers, can be beautiful décor in any room in the house. Depending on your style, your diffuser can be an artistic decorative piece or a discrete, subtle shelf-filler. On top of being visually interesting and lovely, diffusers are functional and can give the right aromatic ambience to each room.
 

If you are looking for a bold yet elegant design, try the Roam Diffuser or Volo Marble and Volo Onyx diffusers. For something more subtle, we love the Lumo Diffuser and Laluz Diffuser.
 

5. They Freshen the Air with Safe Scents

Candles and many air-fresheners are full of synthetics. Essential oils are basic, naturally sourced aromas that (when used correctly) are much safer to use over time than synthetic products that are often packed with manmade material and chemicals. We can all do better to put more naturally sourced aromas into the air around us, and diffusers help us do just that.
 

Especially in a small space like your car, the Pilot Diffuser can make an enormous difference in your day-to-day drives as a replacement for other synthetic aromas. 
 

6. Diffusers Make At-Home Spas a Possibility

We love the spa, but it can also get expensive—especially if, like us, you’re interested in a weekly (or honestly, daily) spa experience. Essential oils are commonly used in spas, both aromatically and topically. You can easily give your bathroom or bedroom a spa-like ambience every night with your essential oil diffuser. All you have to do is find the right aromas, fill the diffuser, and turn it on. A weekly spa-night is literally seconds away!
 

Really amp up your at-home spa by using our Laluz Diffuser. The Laluz Diffuser has a beautiful, warm light, so turn out the ceiling lights, turn on your diffuser, and melt into the calm atmosphere.
 

7. They Help You Customize Every Room

Aromas can entirely transform the atmosphere of a room and can give it an entirely new feel! The right scents can match the energy you want in a space and can help your home match the season. We like to diffuse doTERRA Serenity® in bedrooms at night for a restful aroma, Citrus Bliss® or Wild Orange oil and Peppermint oil for an energizing atmosphere in the morning and in living spaces, and Siberian Fir oil and Black Spruce oil in the kitchen or family room during the winter seasons. There are limitless possibilities!
 

Each room deserves a diffuser that matches your aesthetic. Luckily, we have plenty of designs to choose from so you can get just the right one for every space. Right now, we are loving the Roam Diffuser in common areas and the Laluz Diffuser in bedrooms.
 

8. Diffusers are Flameless

Everyone loves a scented candle, but they’re really quite limiting. You can’t leave them alone because of the flame, and if you have children or pets they can be dangerous in the wrong places. While you should still use discretion around children and pets when diffusing essential oils, electronic diffusion is infinitely safer than an open flame.
 

Each of our diffusers have timed settings, so you can turn the diffuser on and leave it alone with peace of mind that it will stop running automatically (and not catch your house on fire!). With extra diffusing settings, the Volo Marble and Volo Onyx diffusers allows you to not only select your run-time, but also your level of mist output. We’d like to see a traditional candle let you control its aromatic potency, let alone extinguish its flame all on its own.
 

9. Diffusers (Can Be) Humidifying

Not every diffuser is simultaneously a humidifier, and they can sometimes be hard to find. We have one, and we might be biased but we think it’s the best on the market. Our Dawn Aroma Humidifier is incredible—simple, modern, and stylish, but best of all it’s multi-purposed. Adding your favorite aromas to this humidifying diffuser can totally transform any room with aromas and just the right amount of humidity, but we especially love using it at nighttime. 
 

10. They Help You Save Money

Burning through candles, liquid air fresheners, or car fresheners can get expensive fast—especially if you are buying high-end products. Rather than repurchasing the same synthetic air-fresheners over and over, diffusers allow you to use naturally sourced, CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade® essential oil aromas that last so much longer. Their aromas are more potent, and you only need to add a few drops to your diffuser to fill your home with beautiful aromas.
 

The Lumo Diffuser can diffuse up to 50 square meters, which is the largest area coverage of all our diffusers. We suggest this diffuser for making your essential oil aromas fill a big space!
 

No matter what diffuser you use, essential oil diffusers can be transformative not only in your home, but in your life! Making diffusing a regular part of your routine is easier when you have diffusers strategically placed around your home, but it also makes a difference when the diffuser is beautiful.
