Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 Diffused oils alter the structure of molecules that create odors, rather than just masking them. They also increase oxygen availability, produce negative ions, and release natural ozone. Many essential oils, such as lemongrass, lemon, purification, citrus fresh, and thieves are highly antibacterial and are extremely effective for eliminating and destroying airborne germs and bacteria. A cold diffuser is designed to atomize a microfine mist of essential oils into the air, where they can remain suspended for up to several hours. Unlike aroma lamps or candles, it disperses oils without the heating or burning, which can render the oil therapeutically less beneficial and even create toxic compounds. Burned oils may become carcinogenic. Research shows that cold air diffusing certain oils may: * reduce bacteria, fungus, mold, and unpleasant odors * relax the body, relieve tension, and clear the mind * help with weight management * improve concentration, alertness, and mental clarity * stimulate neurotransmitters * stimulate secretion of endorphins * stimulate growth hormone production and receptivity * improve the secretion of IgA antibodies that fight candida * improve digestive function and improve hormonal balance * relieve headaches Ref: Essential Oils Desk Reference Yes, you can add a few drops to DISTILLED water, you must use glass atomizer or spray bottle. Essential oils will destroy some plastics. There's more..... but I will save it for another time, many blessings, Doc and Dena 15:13 Radical and Rejected by the Establishment www.spiritualaroma.com ASpiritualaroma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my major concern because of my youngest daughter's sensitivities. Does it have the same therapeudic effect as applying to skin? Can you offer some more reputable links to more information? , proud SAHmama of n 2/12/99 and nursling Hannah Rae, born 2/12/01 loving & devoted wife to ! attachment / instinctive parenting, wholistic minded happy family! ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`\ ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` ---------- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
