Bring Balance to Your Home with Essential Oils

May 04, 2017 | Rita

Too few people understand the benefits of an essential oil and how it could completely change the way that people treat everyday frustrations. These fantastic oils allow people to combat the symptoms of colds, sinus issues, stomach discomfort, mood swings, sleep deprivation, and much more. In fact, there are a wide range of uses for essential oils in addition to aromatherapy and the pure power of nature is far stronger than you could imagine.

What They Are

Many people think of essential oils and particularly nebulizing diffuser and want to know how it works but the first thing to learn is exactly what these oils are and to use them. These oils are liquid extracts distilled from various plants such as trees, flowers, and herbs. These could be lavender, peppermint, or any number of other oils with various effects on the body and mind.

Unlike the many heated units and plastic, humidifier diffusers, the nebulizing diffuser works by using what is known as the Bernoulli principle, which has to do with fluid dynamics. Put simply, air is pushed through a small tube in such a way that a suction is created, pulling up the essential oil in a separate tube. From there, the essential oil is atomized in a super concentrated form into the room, where it can spread to fill up to 1,000 sq. ft. without the need for water or heat. 

Various Uses

These oils are anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-infectious, antiviral, antiseptic, and anti-parasitic. How it works is that they actively create an environment in which viruses, bacteria, and many other types of pathogens are incapable of surviving. Some oils have even been found to destroy many viruses and bacteria altogether.

These oils act on both your body and mind, stimulating both parts of a person to produce a calming and sedating feel. Inhaling aromas that are as concentrated as this can clear the airways, help to reduce swelling in the nasal passages, and release natural hormones in the brain that fight pain, bring pleasure, and relax the body. Simply by placing a few drops of oil in several key locations of the body, you could enjoy a nearly completely different type of day than you are used to enjoying.

According to an ORAC developed by Tufts University, these oils are among the most powerful known antioxidants, which help to reduce the chance of hypertension, among other things. Different factors can determine how well the oil is absorbed into the skin, including whether you massage the area first or apply heat. Some researchers report that certain areas of the body such as the head, soles, armpits, palms, and even the genitals receive the oils better than others.

These oils can actually penetrate your body on a cellular level because they are lipid-soluble, meaning that the oils you use could affect each cell in your body within just 20 minutes of application. These oils are then metabolized into other nutrients that are used by the cell for daily functions, which can have more than a few great effects. To put this into perspective, an antibiotic is a powerful tool used by doctors to combat bacterial infections in the human body but this medicine cannot penetrate the cell walls of your cells.
