Essential oils are incredibly strong. So they can’t be applied directly to your skin unless they’re heavily cut a neutral carrier oil. You also shouldn’t take them internally, despite some of the misinformation you may encounter on various social media outlets.
The more I learn about these precious aromatics, the more respect I have for their potency. That’s why one of my favorite ways to use them is to inhale them. As the tiny essential oil molecules reach our lungs, they also travel throughout our bloodstream.
So we can still enjoy their potential benefits, without taking on the risk of ingesting them.

Diffusers are also good when you’re fighting an upper respiratory infection. That’s because the medicinal oils can travel to right where they’re needed.
Running a diffuser is also a good way to naturally make your house smell nice when freshen the house naturally when company is coming.
I only use natural plant-based materials to masks odors in my house. Years ago, when people were visiting, I’d light a scented candle. However, I stopped doing this once I realized that many candles contain toxins. They’re actually a common cause of indoor air pollution. Nowadays, my paraffin candles are decorative only.
