Life is stressful and hectic, so when you come home, you expect to relax and be rejuvenated. Essential oils can help you do that; and the best way to use them is with a diffuser. Diffusers disperse the oils into the air, permeating the room and providing with you their benefits continuously. They’re the best way to help you live a better, healthier life.
So, here are nine perfect reasons you should have an essential oil diffuser:
9 Undeniable Reasons to Have an Essential Oil Diffuser
1. Sleep
Sleep prepares you to tackle tomorrow, but you can’t do that if you don’t sleep well. So, run your diffuser throughout the night with essential oils such as lavender to help you fall and stay asleep. You’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready for another day.
2. Freshen the Air
Essential oils are known for their potent, fresh aroma. Just choose the scent you want to fill the air. Diffusers are also healthier alternatives to name brand air fresheners, which fill your home with harmful chemicals. Instead, essential oils bring health benefits and provide long-lasting aromas. Two birds, one stone.
3. Stay Healthy
Keep your home healthy and happy by diffusing essential oils such as eucalyptus, peppermint, and citrus. These oils purify the air by eating up bacteria, protecting your home from illness, and boosting your immune system.
4. Safer than Candles
Candles can pose a fire hazard if left unattended. Prevent these types of disasters by using an essential oil diffuser instead. And besides being safer, essential oils don’t use chemicals like candles, leaving you with a healthier atmosphere.
5. Mood Enhancing
While essential oils and aromatherapy are known for their relaxing scents, there are also several oils that can be used to boost your mood. Oils like lavender and citrus oils can be diffused to energize a room and give it life, such as an office to help you work, or a weight room to get you ready for a big workout.
6. Mental Focus
If you want to be more productive, diffusing essential oils in the air can improve your cognitive function. In fact, using oils like eucalyptus and peppermint regularly can actually help heal causes of poor mental focus.
7. Prevent Snoring
Another reason to leave a diffuser on overnight is to help your significant other not wake you with their snoring. Eucalyptus oil clears passageways and improves breathing, which will prevent snoring and allow you to sleep better.
8. Allergy Relief
It seems that everyone has some kind of allergy these days. Allergies can cause watering eyes, scratchy throats, congestion, among other things. But diffusing essential oils such as eucalyptus and peppermint can relieve these symptoms with their potent aromas and ability to clear sinuses.
9. Relieves Stress
One of the greatest benefits of a diffuser is creating a stress-free home. Menthol and lavender are two of the best oils to help you relax and decompress after a long day. You can make any room your escape with these oils and a diffuser.

Many people think of Eucalyptus Oil as a winter thing, but summer is here and we wanted to let you know that it’s not just for winter!
One of the great things about Eucalyptus is that it really is an year-round oil, with uses for just about anything related to health and wellness.
Here are our top five uses for Eucalyptus in the summertime.
- Getting rid of the stink. Whether it’s a stink that’s airborne or embedded in fabric, Eucalyptus can seem like pure magic when getting rid of it. Spray it on and inside shoes that have been on sweaty feet all day. Spritz a little on the inside of your trash can after those big weekend barbecues to eliminate the stink from meat packaging. Spray some on your camping gear after a long winter’s storage to get rid of any musty smells or leftover campfire smoke from last year.
- Having a healthier DIY hand sanitizer. Having a picnic or BBQ? Make sure your hands are clean first with your own portable hand sanitizer. Mix a few drops (about 2 spritzes each) of our Lavender-Infused and Citrus-Infused ShowerMist with 2-4 ounces of carrier oil (like almond oil) in a 2 or 4 oz spray bottle. Shake well to combine and then use liberally to kill germs before you chow down.
- Keeping the bugs at bay. A few studies have shown that eucalyptus is just as effective, if not more effective, than DEET in protecting you from bug bites. Make your own insect repellent by mixing 1 part essential oil with 10-20 parts carrier oil for maximum effectiveness. For this recipe, it’s best if you use a roller ball applicator. (If you want to use a spray bottle, you’ll need to use water and vodka instead of oil) Mix 3 spritzes of our Lavender-Infused ShowerMist with 15 drops of citronella essential oil, 5 drops of lemongrass oil, and 2 tablespoons of carrier oil like almond oil. Shake well, and apply liberally. Reapply every couple of hours (or less), depending on the intensity of your bug situation. You can also diffuse this mix (minus the carrier oil) in areas where you want to keep the bugs away. Did some get through and bite you? Use the Lavender-Infused ShowerMist with some carrier oil directly on mosquito bites to relieve the itch and reduce the inflammation.
- Easing motion sickness on your summer vacation. While ginger has been known to ease motion sickness and nausea from travel on planes, boats and cars, eucalyptus combined with peppermint and lavender will also do wonders for travel queasiness. The best application is to combine 10-12 drops (total) of our Mint-Infused, Lavender-Infused and Citrus-Infused ShowerMist per 2 ounces of carrier oil and then rub it on your belly, wrists, temples and collarbones. Alternatively, you can diffuse this mix in a car diffuser or personal inhaler. You can apply the mix on some cotton balls and let those sit where you can smell them while in transit.
- Relief from seasonal allergies. Eucalyptus oil opens up the lungs and sinuses, which improves circulation and reduces symptoms of allergies. Studies have shown that it produces a cold sensation in the nose that helps to improve airflow. Inhaling diffused peppermint oil can immediately unclog the sinuses and offer relief to scratchy throats. Peppermint acts as an expectorant and provides relief for allergies, as well as colds, coughs, sinusitis, asthma and bronchitis. It has the power to discharge phlegm and reduce inflammation — a leading cause of allergic reactions. To get some relief, diffuse a few drops of our Menthol-Infused or Mint-Infused Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist in a diffuser, or fill a large bowl with boiling water, spritz 3-4 sprays of the ShowerMist into the water, place a towel over your head and inhale deeply for 5–10 minutes.

Autoimmune diseases have become one of the more widely talked about diseases with the advance of modern medicine and also with the internet. Before this, the sufferers of these diseases had no way of knowing what they had and most had to suffer with little to no relief with no answers. Nowadays, one of the more common autoimmune diseases we hear about is Lupus.
So what is Lupus and what makes it an autoimmune disease? In autoimmune diseases, the immune system turns against parts of the body it is designed to protect. Lupus can affect many parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain. Although people with the disease may have many different symptoms, some of the most common ones include extreme fatigue, painful or swollen joints (arthritis), unexplained fever, skin rashes, and kidney problems.
Even though there is no cure for Lupus, for most people it can be treated with prescriptions and they can lead an active and healthy life. However, when the disease flares, it has the potential to be quite debilitating. Aromatherapy can be used to help give symptomatic relief and enable them to sleep and relax and generally aid their mental well-being.
As May is Lupus Awareness Month, we want to show EuroSpa’s Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist can help. Based on what you are trying to ease, all of our Eucalyptus oil based products have some manner of helpfulness. Here are some common symptoms and the product that should help best!
For pain and stress try our Lavender or Mint Infused Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist. Lavender is rich in notes that help give it anti-inflammatory properties and its refreshing scent helps ease stress. Mint gives a cooling sensation and can calm the body which can help relieve sore muscles.
To ease inflammation try our Menthol Infused Eucalyptus Showermist which also has the addition of camphor which aid the menthol’s effectiveness. Menthol brings a cooling sensation which can help trigger your body to think its cold and will help relieve the uncomfortable heat of inflammation. This is why many first aid products use menthol for cooling in place of ice.
And lastly, to aid circulation, give Citrus Infused Eucalyptus ShowerMist a try. Citrus is thought of as cleansing and can aid in stimulation which can lead to a clearing of potential lymphatic stagnation. And it’s also refreshing and uplifting – who hasn’t felt perked up by the scent of citrus?
All of these infusions are aided by the invigorating properties of Pure Eucalyptus Oil. It has such a fresh and clean aroma that it helps to open your airways up so you can receive the full benefit of your aromatherapy shower.
So while Lupus and other autoimmune diseases might not have a cure, hopefully a few of these ideas can help the sufferers have a better day which can lead to a better week, better month and better life!
