Aromatic Use

Simply inhaling the aroma can have certain effects on our mind, body, and soul. Our sense of smell is the most sensitive of the five senses, allowing the aroma to travel through internal cells and interact with the limbic system, resulting in a desired emotional response. Diffusion is the most effective and efficient way to enjoy essential oils. Using a special diffusing device allows us to experience the aromatic benefits for an extended period of time.
