Essential Oil Profiles

One of the most popular trends in healthcare today is complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Essential oils are one way that people both ancient and modern have sought treatments for their ailments, with a trust on how powerful these scents can be as well.

It’s no wonder diffuser fragrance has become massively popular over the years. In fact, many people have a go-to diffuser scent that they use to evoke certain smells and sometimes emotions.

Essential oils are liquid extracts from plants that possess health, mood-lifting or therapeutic properties. Some essential oils can be used in the same way as spices yet have been studied for their effects on our body systems.

This includes scent relief during a headache and antibacterial qualities against colds or flu when mixed with water droplets (also known anhydrous).
