Quick Tips for Diffusing

1. Choose High Quality Oils: Using pure, clean quality essential oils will get you the best results. They’ll smell fantastic, and definitely won’t give you a headache.
2. Place Your Diffuser Mindfully: Position your diffuser in a central location to evenly distribute the aroma throughout the room. Don’t tuck it away in a corner!
3. Mix and Match: If you don’t have a certain oil at home, look up a substitute. Experiment with different oil combinations to find your favorite scents.
4. Follow Dilution Guidelines: My recipes use approximately 6-9 drops of oils total, for a diffuser size between 150-200ml. If your diffuser water tank is significantly smaller (or lager), adjust the number of drops based on the size of your diffuser .
5. Clean Regularly: Keep your diffuser working optimally by following these tips for cleaning your diffuser. Make sure you’re familiar with your manufacturer’s instruction manual, too!
