If you want to diffuse the scent in your home, using essential oil in a diffuser will be the best choice over fragrance oil. Why? Because you get more benefits than just scenting your home.
Essential oils can provide several benefits when used in a diffuser, including:
- Improved Air Quality – Diffusing essential oils can help improve the air quality in your home by removing bacteria, viruses, and other unwanted particles. Try tea tree, lemon, or pine. Our founder, D. Gary Young gave all his life to make the best essential oils possible on earth.
- Mood Enhancement – Certain essential oils have been shown to improve mood and can help improve your overall mood when diffused. Try bergamot, frankincense or lemon.
- Congestion Relief – Diffusing essential oils can help relieve congestion and other respiratory problems. Try eucalyptus, peppermint, or tea tree oil.
- Relaxation – Essential oils can help promote relaxation and can be a great way to wind down after a long day. Try lavender, sweet marjoram, or sage.
- Improved Sleep – Diffusing essential oils before bed can help improve the quality of your sleep. Try lavender, vetiver, valerian, or chamomile.
What to do when essential oils don’t work
Here are some ideas of what to do:
#1. Try it again
If your initial application was not effective for your desired goal, you may need to reapply the essential oil or oil blend. Some problems may require a subsequent application or even consistent use
#2. Try another method
Essential oils can be used aromatically and topically in a variety of application methods. If one method doesn’t work, you can try another application method.
#3. Try a different essential oil
There are so many essential oil options available in the market for each of everyone’s concerns. If one oil or a blend of oils doesn’t work, you can try another oil or blend of oils. People will react differently to essential oils, so if one fails…don’t give up, try something else.
#4. Try a little harder
Essential oils are very strong and concentrated. They should be used with caution. You should always prefer to use the least amount needed to achieve your goal. So your initial amount used may not have been enough, you may have to use a strong amount. You just need to make sure you follow the directions for safe use of the dilution when applying topically.
#5. Seek medical attention
Let’s face it, some issues require medical attention, essential oils just won’t work. It is important to note that essential oils can be helpful, but should not be used as the primary treatment for serious medical conditions or as a substitute for medical advice from a physician. Even though, our essential oils made by our founder D. Gary Young are medically safe, they are not advised to be used as a treatment for serious medical conditions.
Conclusion
Since fragrance oils are synthetically produced, they will have a longer shelf life than essential oils. The shelf life of an essential oil varies from 1 to 5 years, depending on the oil. Citrus essential oils have the shortest shelf life because they are more prone to oxidation, their shelf life is usually 1-2 years. Patchouli essential oils are one of the longest-lasting essential oils in terms of shelf life.
