WHY USE AN ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER PENDANT?

Essential oils have been used in various ways for close to 6,000 years. The science of aromatherapy was founded in 1928 and within 30 years aromatherapy was being used by doctors, nurses,  massage therapists, and other health care providers.  Aromatherapy is the use of Essential oils to help one heal or feel better.  Though they can be used in a variety of ways this post will focus on inhalation aromatherapy using a diffuser, specifically, a personal pendant diffuser. Unfortunately many lotions, candles, and beauty products that are sold as "aromatherapy" today contain synthetic ingredients and/or fragrances.  Synthetics can be completely avoided by using only 100% pure all natural essential oils. Pure essential oils are concentrated extracts taken directly from the roots, leaves, seeds, or blossoms of plants. The use of each individual essential oil depends upon its natural chemical properties and what the goal of the specific therapy is as described below.

Diffuse means to spread out. A diffuser is a way to spread out the aroma of the essential oils so you can benefit therapeutically from them!
​
  • Room Diffusers - I have one in the living room and one in the bedroom. Room diffusers require water with a few drops of pure essential oil added. All of our essential oils can be used in room diffusers. Room diffusers require electricity and are great because they shut themselves off when the water runs out!  They can help to disinfect and freshen household air.  Like a humidifier, they can help with sleeping at night especially when someone is ill. The only problem with a room diffuser is that you need to stay in the room to benefit from it! That's why personal diffuser pendants are so great - they are with you everywhere you go!

  • Personal Diffusers Pendants - These are simply pendants that are specifically designed to hold essential oils and are worn around your neck. A drop of pure essential oil is added and the therapeutic benefits of the oil can be enjoyed all day, every day, everywhere you go!
  • The specific oil you add to the pendant is determined by the type of aromatherapy you are interested in! For example, I deal with stress often and I suffer from stress headaches.  For this reason I choose to use 100% Pure Lavender Essential Oil on my personal pendant every day.  All day long the scent of the lavender diffuses and helps to relax me. If I feel a moment of extra stress then I lift the pendant and inhale deeply.  This helps me feel better right away!  Here are some examples of how essential oils can help you:
    • Are you fighting a cold?  Add a drop of eucalyptus essential oil to help clear sinus'.
    • Are you dealing with stress and anxiety? Add a drop of Lavender essential oil to feel relaxed.
    • Are you feeling down and out? Add a drop of Peppermint essential oil to feel more alert.
    • Want to ward off the flu? Add a drop of Tea Tree essential oil to disinfect the air around you.
    • Feeling tired all the time? Try a drop of Lemon essential oil to feel more awake!
  • Here are two of my personal favorite pendants available in our shop. They are both handmade by myself and my husband and can be purchased as just the pendant alone (you don't have to use essential oils with it) or with your choice of 100% pure Lavender (floral aroma)  or 100% pure Cedarwood (woody aroma) essential oils.  
  • They are the perfect way to start using essential oils for the first time!

Just add one drop of oil...So Simple!

Which essential oils should you use? 

There are many different essential oils available.  Some oils are helpful when coming down with a cold and some are more helpful if you are tired or stressed. You can even buy or make blends of different oils to help focus on specific problems.  Regardless of the oil, all you need is from 1 to 3 drops depending upon the oil and size/type of diffuser.  Our pendants only require 1 drop to help you feel good!

*Here are a few Essential Oils that we use regularly:
  • Eucalyptus - Clean, crisp menthol scent - good for asthma, cough, stuffed nose, sore throat, sinus problems
  • Lavender - Sweet floral scent - good for anxiety, tension, stress, insomnia, headache
  • Tea Tree - Fresh medicinal scent - good for colds, flu, to ward off illness, disinfectant
  • Peppermint - Sweet minty menthol scent - good for fatigue, exhaustion, or apathy, asthma, bronchitis, cough, sinus, headaches, migraines, nausea, indigestion
  • Lemon - Sweet lemon scent - good for immune system booster, digestive health, household odors, fatigue, PMS, or stress
  • Cedarwood - Woody scent - good for neverous tension or stress
  • Bergamot - Fruity & citrusy scent - good if you are feeling anxious, depressed, tired, nervous or stressed
  • Frankinsense - Warm spicy & woody scent - good for asthma, cough, cold, flu, sore throat, or fatigue​​
