People Ask: How to Use an Essential Oil Diffuser?
Setting up your essential oil diffuser is simple, but turning it into a moment of presence and care? That’s where the ritual begins.
Here’s how to get started and infuse your space with the essence of the plants:
1. Start with Clean, Filtered Water
If you’re using an ultrasonic diffuser, begin by filling the water reservoir with filtered or distilled water. This helps extend the life of your diffuser and ensures a cleaner mist, free of mineral buildup.
2. Add 5–10 Drops of Essential Oil
Choose your essential oil based on your intention - calm, clarity, invigoration, or grounding. Add 5–10 drops directly into the water, adjusting to the size of your space and your personal sensitivity to scent. A little goes a long way.
3. Power It On and Let the Aroma Unfold
Switch on your diffuser and allow the gentle mist to begin filling the air. This is your invitation to pause. Close your eyes, exhale, and tune in. Let the scent wrap softly around you, an unseen presence, ancient and alive.
4. Breathe Deeply and Come Back to Yourself
With each inhale, let your body soften. Let your thoughts settle. Diffusing essential oils, be it part of your morning ritual or your evening wind-down - creates a bridge between body and breath, between you and the plants, between now and what matters most.
