Essential oils are renowned for a myriad of benefits - they can help you sleep, ease stress and pain, lift mood, invigorate, improve skin or digestion - the list is endless! The best way to use them is with a diffuser. They have a greater effect without the risk of burns, wax spills or other accidents that candles and oil burners have.

Never apply essential oils directly to your skin (except Lavender or Tea Tree), as their high concentration can cause a reaction or irritation. Instead, essential oils should be diluted with water or a carrier oil like jojoba or almond. It is never safe to ingest essential oils.

Another huge benefit of using essential oils rather than synthetic fragrances in the house is that they are non-toxic. Synthetic fragrances contain phthalates to make them last longer, however they are a proven endocrine or hormone disruptor. Look out for the word "fragrance" or "parfum" on labels to avoid exposure to phthalates.
