Diffusing safety

It’s important to follow some safety practices when diffusing essential oils. Remember that these are potent, concentrated oils that can cause harm if not handled correctly. 

• Do not continuously diffuse essential oils. They are highly concentrated and unceasing diffusing can lead to a range of complications. 

• Diffuse intermittently. It’s recommended to do 30-60mins on and 30-60mins off. This way the olfactory senses are not overwhelmed and  a tolerance is not built against the benefits of the essential oils.

• Become familiar with each essential oil you plan to use. Research and review common safety practices for each unique essential oil. 

• Always diffuse in a well ventilated area. 

• Do not diffuse more essential oils than what is recommended. A little goes a long way.

• Follow the specific instructions that come with your diffuser.

• If you have pets keep the diffuser away from them while it’s in use and make sure they are able to leave the area if they want to. 

• Do not use a diffuser in a public place, such as an office or a classroom. Each person has different reactions to essential oils and may even have health conditions that can put their well-being at risk when exposed to specific oils. For public places we recommend using a personal diffuser, like the Aroma Companion. 

• Clean your diffuser regularly.
