The word “aromatherapy” brings images of fancy spa water and soothing sounds of meditation music to mind. If finding the time, resources, and energy to get that much needed relaxation is challenging, Vanity Planet has a great alternative: the Aroma1 Diffuser. If you don’t have the Aroma1, you should definitely consider getting it (its pretty awesome). If you do have it (or are thinking of getting it) this simple guide will tell you what essential oils to use in your aroma therapy diffuser along with the benefits of the different scents. So without further ado, we present your guide to choosing essential oils from Vanity Planet.
Lavender Oil - Other than smelling really pretty, lavender has been used for thousands of years for cooking, bathing, and medicinal purposes. Today, using lavender oil in an aromatherapy humidifier can:
- reduce anxiety and emotional stress
- improve sleep
- alleviate headaches
- act as a non-toxic air freshener
Eucalyptus Oil - The eucalyptus tree is an evergreen tree native to Australia - also known for being the koala bear’s favorite snack. Rather than channeling your inner koala and chomping on some raw eucalyptus leaves, you can still harness its powerful medicinal benefits through the Aroma1. Eucalyptus oil is great for helping you with:
- colds
- sinus trouble and allergies
- home care
- air purification
- respiratory problems like asthma, bronchitis, COPD, pneumonia, and tuberculosis
Tea Tree Oil - Tea Tree, also known as melaleuca, is another gift from down under. Tea tree essential oil is most effectively used as an antiseptic, but it's also is a great way to step up your home care game, because it:
- kills airborne bacteria
- acts as an anti-inflammatory
- clears nasal passageways
Bergamot Essential Oil - Bergamot oil comes from the peel of a citrus fruit known as Citrus Bergamia. It is unique from other essential oils, as it has been scientifically proven to enhance mood, as well as a slew of other health benefits including:
- releasing emotional pain
- acting as a powerful antidepressant
- working as a sedative
- killing germs and bacteria
- relieving stress
- reducing cough
Peppermint Essential Oil - This oil is the closest you can get to living in a winter wonderland. Before you go out to buy a year’s worth of candy canes, peppermint is only beneficial without the added doses of sugar and artificial flavoring. Luckily, peppermint is incredibly versatile. It can be used for:
- relieving headaches
- antimicrobial purposes
- improving mental focus
- clearing the respiratory tract
- boosting energy
Lemon Essential Oil - Everyone knows the saying, “when you have lemons, make lemonade.” While we have nothing against citrus-based beverages - we think that there might be a few other ways you can utilize lemons that can be a little more healthful… and maybe even as refreshing. You can use lemon essential oil for:
- cleansing and purification
- cough relief
- relieving nausea
- promoting weight loss
- a natural disinfectant
- improving mood
- providing immune support
Cedarwood Essential Oil - This is one of the rare essential oils that actually stems from wood, rather than roots or leaves. Another unique thing about cedarwood essential oil is that, historically, it was known to foster wisdom and beauty. Today, we know that it can help with:
- improving focus
- combating inflammatory agents
- reduce skin irritations
- relieving spasms
- repelling bugs
- reducing cough
- cleaning out toxins
