What is Aromatherapy?<\/h5>\n

Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils<\/a> and their healing properties as part of your self care rituals. Maybe that means using sweet orange to boost your mood, peppermint to refresh, or lavender to calm.<\/p>\n

When we\u2019re talking about aromatherapy, we\u2019re usually talking about diffusing the oils into your space, or in body products like body scrubs and massage oils.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How Does It Work?<\/h5>\n

While scientists aren\u2019t exactly sure how aromatherapy works, they believe it\u2019s related to our sense of smell. When we inhale the oils, receptors in our nose communicate with the parts of our brain that deal with emotions, which is why when we inhale lavender, our brain feels calmer.<\/p>\n

And when it comes to using essential oil infused products, like a massage oil, we not only inhale the oils but they\u2019re absorbed into our skin, giving us the chance to take in even more oil benefits!<\/p>\n

Finding the right essential oils<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Why Would You Want to Take It On-the-Go?<\/h5>\n

If you use essential oils regularly, you\u2019ll know they truly have an effect on your mood. Maybe you diffuse blends to help with your anxiety, which allows you to feel more grounded and focused on your work. Or maybe you diffuse lavender and bergamot during cloudy days, because the combination helps boost your mood and reduce feelings of depression.<\/p>\n

If you diffuse oils, you\u2019ll know you have to have a diffuser, which usually needs to be plugged into the wall. Which limits where you can use it.<\/p>\n

If you have an important meeting, you can\u2019t drag your diffuser and cord with you. And if it\u2019s cold and grey outside, you can\u2019t bring your lemon filled diffuser on your errands. But you could if you had an on-the-go aromatherapy diffuser<\/a> \u2013 I\u2019ll run through your options below!<\/p>\n

How Can You Take it On The Go?<\/h5>\n

With tools like a car, necklace, or bracelet diffuser, you can bring the healing, plant based benefits of essential oils with you wherever you go.<\/p>\n

It might not make that meeting any more fun, but it will help keep you calm and focused. Or uplifted and cheery.<\/p>\n

Whatever essential oils you choose, now you can bring them with you, without lugging around a diffuser that needs to be plugged into a wall. So which one should you choose?<\/p>\n

Car Diffusers<\/h4>\n

If you drive to work each day, consider a car diffuser<\/a>. Not only will your car smell good, but you\u2019ll be using natural, healthy essential oils that actually help you feel better.<\/p>\n

While you’d usually add water to a traditional plug-in diffuser, these car diffusers use small, washable fabric pads. Simply apply the essential oils to the pad, pop it into the diffuser, and you’re good to go! And what’s better is they last a lot longer than water \u2013 each pad holds the scent for 3-4 days, and after that you can wash it out by hand. Pads last about three months, during which you can wash and reuse them until they become hard.<\/p>\n
