Do you have a ‘nice collection’ of essential oils at home, but that’s all it is, a ‘nice collection’ -- because you aren’t really sure how to best use them, or how to make better use of them? In other words, you don’t use them for any purpose other then as ‘perfume’ and you don’t use them as much as you’d like, or should! Or maybe you are intrigued by this thing called ‘aromatherapy’ and want to learn more? Well then this is the perfect class for you!

Here is where you get to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask (and maybe hear some questions that you didn’t know you should be asking about essential oils!). A clinical aromatherapist, certified and trained with the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists is here to answer and help you explore the multifaceted world of essential oils.

Maybe you’re asking yourself, ‘How hard can it be to diffuse essential

oils? Don’t you just, you know, diffuse them?’

The answers to the above questions are, you guessed it - Yes, and no!

Yes it’s ‘simple’; and no, you don’t just ‘diffuse’ them! There are some

very specific safety issues and efficacy issues to consider when

diffusing. In terms of efficacy, let’s start with passive diffusion.

Passive Diffusion: This refers to the application of a drop or two of

essential oil(s) to an absorptive aroma-tool that over time gently releases

your aromatherapy. The simplest passive diffusion aroma-tools are, for

example, a tissue or a cotton ball. In terms of efficacy, research has

shown that simply ‘sniffing’ your chosen essential oil or blend allows the

aromatic molecules to enter your blood stream immediately via your

lungs and travel around your body via your circulatory system. This

‘sniff’ method also allows the aromatic molecules to go straight to work

via the olfactory system - where the aromatic molecules can have a very

immediate effect on your mood and emotions via the limbic system.

In terms of duration, the aroma will last depending on the essential oil or

oils used and the number of drops applied. I recommend ‘sniffing’ your

aroma-tool before adding a fresh drop. The essential oil(s) or blend will

change its aromatic composition over time as the top note essential oils

diffuse off or evaporate first, with the base notes hanging on

aromatically, so to speak. Most citruses like Lemon, Lime and Sweet

Orange are top notes and will be the first to evaporate. Whereas the

aroma of Cedarwood Atlas, Patchouli and Vetiver, for example, will hang

on much longer.

In terms of safety, passive diffusion is relatively safe as long as you

adhere to using only 1 - 2 drops (using more drops may overwhelm your

sensitive olfactory and nervous systems). Some essential oils are

contraindicated based on medical condition and age, for example. Please

refer to a reputable reference (i.e. not something you read on the internet

by a non-professional) or consult an accredited aromatherapist. And if

you are trying to become pregnant, are pregnant and/or lactating, consult

your healthcare provider before starting to use essential oils.
