Mistakes to avoid when using an essential oil diffuser

An essential oil diffuser is an excellent wellness tool… provided it's used correctly. Improper use can not only reduce its effectiveness but also be harmful to your health or damage the device. Here are the most common mistakes to avoid.

1. Using too many essential oils

More isn't always better. Too much oil can saturate the air, irritate the respiratory tract, or become overpowering. Generally, 5 to 8 drops are enough for an average-sized room.

2. Broadcasting for too long

Continuous diffusion for several hours is unnecessary and can tire the nervous system. Opt for sessions of 15 to 30 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day.

3. Using poor quality oils

Avoid synthetic fragrance oils: they contain no beneficial active ingredients. Always choose 100% pure and natural oils, preferably organic.

4. Neglecting to clean the diffuser

A poorly maintained diffuser can accumulate residue and produce mold. Clean it once a week with a little white vinegar and warm water.

5. Placing the diffuser in the wrong place

Avoid placing it too close to a wall or piece of furniture, or next to an electronic device. Ideally, place it in the center of the room, on a stable and flat surface.

6. Diffuse in the presence of babies or animals (without precautions)

Some oils are contraindicated for young children, pregnant women, or animals. Always check carefully before each use.

When used correctly, a diffuser is a fantastic ally for health and well-being. By avoiding these simple mistakes, you can fully enjoy the benefits of essential oils. And for that, nothing beats a quality diffuser like those offered by Diffuseur Zen .
