OIL DIFFUSERS

Science hypothesizes that diffusing essential oils can increase atmospheric oxygen as well as the body’s ability to transport oxygen into the cells. The lipid-soluble structure of Young Living essential oils allows them to easily penetrate the cell membranes of the nose and enter into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the oils can help transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells.

How Do Diffused Essential Oils Benefit Your Health?

It is also thought that diffusing essential oils can have a positive effect on the olfactory system (mechanism of smell) and the limbic system (center of memory, emotion and motivation). When an essential oil is inhaled through the nose, it is dissolved within the olfactory epithelium (a tissue of layered cells in the nasal cavity) which has more than 40 million cells made of small hairs called cilia also known as olfactory receptors.

These receptors receive the micro-fine oil particles carrying them to the mitral cells in the olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb then transmits a signal to areas of the brain such as the hippocampus, amygdale, hypothalamus or the olfactory cortex all of which are part of the limbic system.

Strengthening the Mind and Emotions through Essential Oils

The strong connections people have between scent and memories, emotions and places are created through the mechanism of smell. There two distinct parts to their olfactory system: the main olfactory system and the accessory olfactory system. The main olfactory system detects volatile, airborn substances, while the accessory olfactory system senses fluid-phase stimuli.

The connection between the main olfactory system, memories and emotions indicates that diffusing essential oils can play a vital role in overcoming fear or trauma and is indispensible in building new and positive memories and experiences.

What are the Primary Benefits of an Essential Oil Diffuser?

You can create a sense of well-being and invigorate your home with a healthy atmosphere through diffusing Young Living essential oils. Choose the oil to diffuse based on your health conditions, mood or the time of the day or year:

 •  Diffusing essential oils is a perfect way to help you relieve tension, dispel odors and create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. Relax after a long day's work with the wonderful scent of essential oils.

 •  Keep your family healthy this winter! When diffused, essential oils have been reported to improve immune health and create a feeling of balance and well-being.
Research shows that diffusion of certain oils may reduce bacteria, fungus and mold. Make sure your home is safe for your family!

 •  European scientists have found that essential oils can work as natural chelators, bonding to metallics and chemicals ferrying them out of the body. The lipid-soluble structure of essential oils and the fact that they have a protein-like structure similar to human cells and tissues makes them even more compatible with human tissue.

 •  Diffusing essential oils may promote relaxation, relieve tension, clear the mind and improve concentration, alertness and mental clarity. Use a diffuser to improve your concentration in your office or to help your children focus on their homework each night.
