How to create a custom-made atmosphere with essential oils?
Scents are the signature of a house; they create a harmonious atmosphere... but they go further, bringing peace and harmony, promoting sleep or concentration, balancing the mood or toning us up! It can quickly become a game.
Which essential oils should I use to create different moods in all the rooms of my house? Discover our advice on using essential oils in your living room, your bedroom...and enjoy all their benefits.
How does it work?
It's a proven fact that when diffused in the air, essential oils are captured by our nose (as well as the multiple volatile compounds that make them up). They will stimulate the olfactory receptors located at the top of the nasal passages, directly transmitting the information to the limbic system. This small strategic area of the brain is the one that regulates emotions and behaviour. Therefore, the scents can naturally soothe, energise, balance, and relax...
Do not diffuse in a room in the presence of a pregnant or breastfeeding woman, a child under 7 years old, a person prone to epilepsy or convulsive disorders. In case of asthma or allergy to one of the components, do not diffuse without medical advice.
