Our sense of smell is one of our most powerful senses. Your body contains over 1,000 receptors for smell—more receptors than for any other sense.
By putting essential oils directly into the air we breathe, we can influence the feeling of our environment, and, more powerfully, our own emotions.
Diffusing is an easy, convenient, and mess-free way to enjoy the aromatic benefits of essential oils.
Keep reading to learn everything you'll want to know before buying a doTERRA essential oil diffuser.
Each diffuser has its own unique method for getting essential oils into the air so you can utilize their therapeutic benefits.
A nebulizing diffuser breaks down the essential oil into tiny particles through the use of a high velocity, pressurized air stream and jet nozzle.
When the oil is released from the diffuser, it diffuses the entire oil at once instead of in stages. It goes into the air in a fine mist.
This popular type of diffuser uses water and electronic frequencies to create a fine mist from the essential oil and water.
Ultrasonic vibrations are created by a small disk under the surface of the water which causes the essential oil to break up into tiny micro particles.
Heat diffusers use heat elements to help the essential oil gradually evaporate into the air. Sometimes heat essential oil diffusers use the oil mixed with water.
Evaporative diffusion uses air flow to spread the scent of the essential oils into the area
A fan blows air through a filter, such as a tissue or a pad that has essential oils dropped onto it.
doTERRA sells a variety of diffusers that can delivery the full aromatic and therapeutic benefits of the essential oils.

The Need for Sleep
Recent scientific research has provided an almost endless amount of data regarding the importance of sleep and health. Meeting recommended sleeping guidelines and having good sleep hygiene is associated with
More than 25% of U.S. adults are not meeting generally recommended guidelines for sleep and over 9 million regularly using products to help with sleep.
The Study
62 healthy adults with self-reported occasional trouble sleeping were recruited. The participants were divided into placebo and test groups and subjected to a 6-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study. The study included a 1-week washout period during which no study products or other sleep aids were used, followed by a 2-week intervention in which participants were provided either the study product or a placebo, then another 1-week washout, and concluding with another 2-week intervention that included the opposite product, sequentially.
During the intervention periods, participants were asked to swallow two softgels every night, 30 minutes before going to sleep. Participants and researchers were both blinded to which product was being used during the intervention periods. Participants also filled out a validated sleep quality assessment tool prior to the study and at the end of each week during the 6-week study period, as well as a diary that included general information about sleep time, exercise, caffeine intake and other objective metrics associated with sleep efficiency. A total of 51 participants completed the study.
The Results
During the intervention periods including the study product, participants reported statistically significant improvements in falling asleep, balance and coordination upon awakening, ease of awakening, and alertness following awakening as compared to the placebo and washout periods.
Furthermore, all parameters evaluated from the sleep diaries, with the exception of waking duration, showed better scores when the participants were taking the study product than when taking the placebo.
