Yesterday I attended a class at one of my friends’ house. It was a most enjoyable morning spent with fellow Doterra lovers.
Among the guests, a couple of ladies were total beginners. They asked a few questions of course.
For example:
- Why do you diffuse Essential Oils?
- Can you diffuse all Essential Oils?
In this post, I’ll try to answer those questions.
WHY DO YOU DIFFUSE ESSENTIAL OILS?
As we know, diffusing is the safest way of using Essential Oils. As a wellness advocate, diffusing is the method I always recommend when in doubt.
Diffusing is a great way of enjoying the benefits of Essential Oils for the all family.
WHY IS AROMATHERAPY BENEFICIAL?
According to Doterra.com: “Diffusing an oil helps us take advantage of its most noticeable characteristic—it’s scent. By learning more about how much of a role smell plays in our lives, the impact of essential oils can be understood on a deeper level”.
“Our sense of smell is one of our most powerful senses, and you have probably noticed in your own experience that some scents are more positively associated in our minds than others. Your body contains over 1,000 receptors for smell—more receptors than for any other sense. By putting essential oils directly into the air we breathe, we can influence the feeling of our environment, and, more powerfully, our own emotions”.
That’s kind of amazing, isn’t it?

HOW DO YOU DIFFUSE ESSENTIAL OILS? HOW TO USE AN ESSENTIAL OILS DIFFUSER?
While diffusing is a very effective and safe way to use your Oils, there’s something to keep in mind:
- First of all, start by purchasing a good diffuser. When choosing a diffuser don’t forget to think about where you are going to use it, as larger rooms will need a bigger one.
- Secondly, start by adding only a few drops of Oils. They are very powerful, and you only need a small amount.
- Open the Oils bottles you have, and just hold a few together in your hands. See what scent attracts you in that particular moment. The possibilities are endless ….. and all are just as amazing!
- Thirdly, when diffusing be mindful of small children, babies and also pets. It’s best to avid some Essential Oils when little ones and furry friends are around.
- Now you are all set and ready to diffuse.
HOW MANY DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OILS CAN YOU PUT IN A DIFFUSER?
There are many factors that contribute to determine how many drops of Essential Oils you can put in a diffuser.
- First of all, it depends on the capacity of the device: the larger it is, the more water you can use to fill it, and therefore the more drops of Oils you can add.
- Also, it depends on your preferences, as you might prefer a stronger scent.
- Room size also plays an important room.
- There is really no limit to the amount of drops you can add to your diffuser, but I always recommend to start with no more than 4 drops. You can add later if you need more.
How often can you diffuse Essential Oils?
This is a difficult question, as there is no right and wrong when it comes to how much is too much!
In my home, I like to diffuse Essential Oils every day. I put the diffuser on in the morning, while I’m working or while the children are doing their school hours.
In the afternoon, I put the diffuser on again, as we go about our day, and our usual chores.
As bed time approaches, I fill the diffusers again to support my family and help them have a good night’s sleep.
If you are only starting using Essential Oils, you might want to try to diffuse once a day to begin with, and you can increase slowly.
CAN YOU DIFFUSE ALL ESSENTIAL OILS? What Essential Oils should not be diffused?
You can diffuse all of Doterra’s Essential Oils and blends, with the exception of HD CLEAR and IMMORTELLE (called SALUBELLE in Europe).
