What are Essential Oils good for?
Essential oils are primarily valued for their aromatic qualities and have been traditionally used in a wide range of cultural and personal care routines. Common uses include enhancing indoor spaces with natural fragrance, adding to personal body care products, and incorporating into routines for relaxation or focus. Essential oils may also be used in blends designed for a specific aroma experience or atmosphere. Their popularity stems from both their sensory appeal and historical uses in wellness practices across many traditions.
How to use Essential Oils
Using a Diffuser
One of the most popular ways to enjoy essential oils is through diffusion. A diffuser helps disperse the scent of essential oils into the air, making it easy to fill a space with your favorite aroma. There are several types of diffusers available, including ultrasonic (electronic), candle-based, and reed diffusers. Each method offers a unique way to enjoy the aromatic qualities of essential oils in your home, office, or car.
Using an electric diffuser is an easy and effective way to enjoy the benefits of essential oils. All you need to do is add a few drops of your desired essential oil into the water tank, fill it with clean water, and plug in the device. The electric fan then disperses a mist of the fragrant oil and enhances the aroma around you. Adjust settings to control how strong or weak you'd like your scent to be. Enjoy!

Candle diffusers use the heat from a small tea light to warm a dish containing diluted essential oils. This gentle warming process allows the scent to evaporate and disperse into the air. When using this method, it’s recommended to dilute essential oils with water or a carrier oil such as almond oil. Always monitor the candle while it’s burning and ensure the diffuser is placed on a heat-safe surface. Use tea lights designed for aromatherapy purposes to enhance both safety and scent distribution.
Reed diffusers offer a low-maintenance, flame-free way to distribute essential oil aromas throughout your space. To use one, place the reeds into the neck of the diffuser bottle filled with essential oil or a pre-blended fragrance. The liquid travels up the reeds and gradually releases scent into the air through evaporation. For best results, flip the reeds every few days to refresh the fragrance. Reed diffusers are ideal for continuous aroma in spaces like bathrooms, entryways, and offices.
Testimonials
“Until I purchased Harmony's Essential Oils, I never realized there was a difference from the oils that I have purchased from the grocery store in the health section. Harmony’s Essential Oils are aromatic and much stronger which makes me think the others were diluted. I made my own after shave oils and mosquito repellent, and obtained far better results.” -Carol F.
