Diffusers are a way to get essential oils into the air so aromatherapy benefits can be enjoyed. Many positive effects are received for the body, mind, and mood by inhaling the essential oils that are in the air.

Relaxing with Yeouth Essential Oils

My favorite essential oil to inhale all year long is peppermint. When purchasing sets of oil, the first label I look for is peppermint. Properties of peppermint oil assists with calming the mind, pain relief, and respiratory relief. If you’ve ever engaged in conversation with me, you’d know that I enjoy the smell of peppermint so much that I chew peppermint gum, keep starlights in my pocketbook and desk (reminder that I need to refill my bowl), and use a Vick’s Nasal Inhaler during the day and at night to relax my mind.

When I’m low on my Vick’s, I’ll drop a few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus essential oils in my air diffuser and continue to get similar calming effects.

Using Yeouth before, I saw that there were oils used for diffusers available. Here is a preview of the benefits of each of the 6 oils in the starter therapy pack.

Bulgarian Lavender –
