Essential oil diffusing means applying essential oil aromatically either by inhaling or using a diffuser with a without water. You can also essential oils on a diffuser bracelet or a necklace. Just a drop or two of your favorite essential oils on the black lava beads will do the trick. My favorite way is to use a drop or two on the palms of the hand or on essential oil bracelet and taking a deep breath. I also love to use water essential oils diffusers which product a fine mist of water mixed with the essential oils. They are easy to use and will fill up a room or the whole house with a beautiful scent. You can find essential oil diffusers from Amazon or Doterra. I have a travel diffuser from Amazon which works great and I also use the Doterra Petal diffusers in my house. I use a diffuser in the bedroom whenever I like to create a relaxing environment to help sleep or when I’m feeling like I’m getting sick.

You can apply a drop of essential oil on a dryer sheet and enjoy the benefits of essential oil scented laundry. You can add a few drops of essential oils in a water bottle and mist your laundry or sheets with it. It also works great as a pillow spray for sleep. I have a small water bottle that I fill with filtered water and use a few drops of the Doterra Serenity essential oil. It creates a wonderful, relaxing scent when sprayed on the pillow and sheets at night time. I love to use the Doterra diffusers in the bedrooms. They are so simple to use. You just add water to the line inside the diffuser and add a few drops of your essential oils. I’ve found that 3-8 drops are enough depending on the oils I’m using. For example for sleeping I like to use Doterra blend Serenity or lavender. If I’m feeling under the weather, I like to use frankincense and the Doterra Breath blend or eucalyptus essential oil. Once the diffuser is on, the fine water mist fills the room with the aromatic scent.
