Essential Oils and Aromatherapy in the Home

Aromatherapy is defined as the use of fragrances to affect or alter a person’s mood or behavior and to promote health. And, within our homes essential oils and aromatherapy can play a pivotal part in creating a positive mood. When diffused in your home, essential oils provide an aromatic experience that enhances relaxation, uplifts the mood, and promotes well-being.

Aromatherapy: Diffusing Essential Oils

Three important activities take place when essential oils are diffused into the air in your home.

First, certified-pure, therapeutic grade (CPTG) essential oils have the ability to eliminate or reduce airborne pathogens, thus creating a healthy home environment free of unwanted germs. During the winter months, we tend to spend more time indoors, so it is vital for good health that the air quality in your home is germ-free.

Second, when CPTG essential oils are diffused, they are inhaled into the lungs. The oil molecules are absorbed into the tissues of your body, and you now get the benefits of the oil throughout your entire body. Just as the essential oils act as a detoxifier in the environment, they have the ability to act as an immune enhancer in your body by directly attacking pathogens, microbes, and germs in the body.

Third, essential oils have the powerful benefits of improving mood and behavior. Aromas can be relaxing and calming, keeping tension and stress at bay; uplifting and invigorating so that the mood is upbeat and positive; or simply refreshing, bring a sense of cheer, hope and joy.
