Spring and summer months are notorious for enhancing the visual and aromatic floral landscape. These seasons bring with it increased exposure to sunlight and nature as well as physical activity and social connections that can contribute to an improved mood, feelings of happiness and a reduction of stress. Nature and sunshine lead us to the most advantageous place in life where we can be satisfied and content, improving our state of mind and our well-being.[1,2]

However, reveling in the outdoors and connecting socially is not always possible with our busy lives. Thankfully, there is another excellent option. Bring the joy and solace of nature into your home or workspace by using a diffuser blend with Edens Garden passive Ceramic Bloom Diffuser. Passive diffusers are different than active diffusers in that the latter needs an electronic stimulus to emit the essential oil molecules into the air. The Bloom Diffuser offers a more subtle and nuanced aromatic by gently emitting the molecules gracefully into the air. 

Caring For Your Bloom Diffuser

It's especially easy to clean for moments when you want to change out the essential oil or blend. Simply fill the aromatherapy diffuser with equal parts water and white vinegar and a teaspoon of baking soda. In a separate bowl, soak the bloom and wick in equal parts water and white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Let sit for a few hours before rinsing with water and allowing to air dry. When cleaning, avoid getting oil on the wooden piece, and do not soak it to clean.

As a gentle reminder to all of our essential oil fans, always keep safety guidelines and child safety in mind when enjoying essential oils. Always dilute essential oils when using them topically and keep them away from young children and pets. When using new oils topically, always do a skin patch test to check for adverse skin reactions.
