First things first, what are essential oils?

Plants! Oils are distilled from the roots, bark, leaves, and flowers of our beautiful earth to create a sustainable and reliable way to give us individual care. Forget the boxed answers that pretend my needs are just like yours. Designed to work with our bodies, created for our use, intelligent and equipped to get down and get to work on a cellular level in moments the way you need them to because of your history and your current state of health.

So why diffuse?

When you diffuse in your house you can make your home smell clean and cozy while eliminating the use of candles, plug ins, and air freshners made with chemicals and artificial fragrance, your respiratory system will thank you! And by lightening your toxin burden, your body can work more efficiently.

The diffuser takes essential oils and water and turns it into an airy mist that is easily carried through the room. Oils can purify the air, eliminate odor, boost immune systems, lift moods, increase focus, and support better sleep.

When it comes to essential oils, not all are equal, and quality matters in order for there to be health benefits.

Young Living quality starts with the dirt the seeds are planted in! YL owns and oversees all their farms and there are never chemicals or fertilizers used on the plants. Which is so important because the oils come directly from those plants!

The distillation process is a careful and exact (and rigorously tested) process to make sure all the constituents are perfect so that we get only pure and effective essential oils that are never created in labs.

Young Living has been leading this industry for 25 years. They’re not jumping onto a trend or bandwagon, they created it. From sheep grazing their lavender fields next to a castle in France as toxin-free weed management to an award-winning green corporate building in Utah, to schools being built in communities so field workers’ children can attend school, to a Seed to Seal promise for every drop of oil that is tested and shipped out to you, Young Living is where the standards of the last century meet the innovations of the next.

Whether you’re creating new blends that remind you of your favorite places or firing up your old standbys like Lavender, Lemon, or Peppermint, chances are your Young Living diffuser puts in a lot of hours. Cleaning your diffuser is important, since oil residue can build up on the inside, affecting how well it works. Make sure to show your diffuser some love! These tips will show you how to clean your diffuser quickly and easily, so you can get back to filling the room with all the right scents.
