Benefits of Essential Oils
Though fragrances are always delightful, you might need a reminder of why essential oils are beneficial. Aromatherapy is helpful because of the positive memories and feelings we associate with certain scents—in this case, delivered through pure or blends of essential oils. While they are not solutions to ailments, they have the ability to uplift your mood to promote enhanced wellness. “Breathing in the essential oil vapor instantly changes our brain patterns and can help us feel calmer and more grounded,” Hope Gillerman, an aromatherapist and author of Essential Oils Every Day: Rituals and Remedies for Healing, Happiness, and Beauty previously told Vogue. To take part in this holistic treatment, select an oil suited for your concern. Think: clary sage or vetiver to ease anxiety, lavender or chamomile to aid sleep, and peppermint for energy and focus. Keep this in mind when selecting your diffuser. Below, we’ve curated this edit of the best essential oil diffusers to shop now—from Canopy, Saje, Vitruvi, and more.
Saje Aroma Om Diffuser
