Simply add essential oils and water to your diffuser to transform your home into an oasis of fresh aroma.

What is Essential oils?

Essential oils are concentrated liquids that have been extracted from parts of plants such as leaves, berries, seeds, bark, resin, wood, fruits and flowers. They have different healing properties and distinctive smells. What is special about essential oils is that they are volatile. This means that they easily evaporate at room temperature. Their particles are also small enough to penetrate our cell membranes. This gives them strong therapeutic effects.

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils from plants (flowers, leaves, bark, resin etc.) as a complementary health treatment. The essential oils are often dispersed into the air by means of a diffuser. They can then be inhaled. Alternatively, they are applied in a diluted form to the skin from where they are absorbed and inhaled. Many essential oils are used in aromatherapy for their different properties. We’ve already seen some of the more popular ones. Other lesser-known ones include plai, neroli and cardamom.

Essential oils to fall asleep and sleep better
Place the aroma diffuser with essential oils in the bedroom and switch it on 30 minutes before going to bed. Be sure to put the phone and other devices away for the same period. If you meditate or read before going to sleep, it is ideal to do this in the bedroom. Make sure the diffuser is set to turn off automatically after 3-6 hours.
