Where I live, in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, there are a lot of migraine sufferers. With the nearly constant pressure changes and high altitude, it's the perfect environment for a number of ailments.  Migraines and headaches are the most common symptoms I am asked about. And if you've been around my blog at all for a while, you know that I don't like to claim any essential oil as a true cure for any symptom. a) because there usually isn't science or trials done to substantiate the claims and b) even in science, nothing is 100% effective for everyone - so...

Here are some FAQs to help keep your diffuser clean and your oils smelling great.  Can I use one diffuser for all of my oils? Yes! No need to own a million diffusers (unless you want to) but one can be used for all of your oils. You can mix oils right in the diffuser too.

This is important. Make sure you're using pure essential oils without "carrier" oils such as jojoba, coconut, or almond oil. Viscous oils could clog...

There are a lot of affordable and minimal ways to use essential oils without an electronic diffuser. Here are some of my favourites!   1. Add a few drops to an unscented candle.

Put a small pot of water on...

I get asked a LOT how and how not to use essential oils. And I hear you - it's getting confusing out there. Especially with all the conflicting articles that say do this and another article that says don't do that! Who to believe? Your gut. Always listen to that genius in your belly. If anything I write or anything you see elsewhere doesn't suit you, then just don't do it. The honest truth is that there are not a lot of cold-hard-scientific facts around essential oils. I will do my best to publish and speak about new research as it comes,...

Alright, I'm sitting down to write this post after having met with a friend and it bubbled out of me. She encouraged me to share the background of how The Olfactory Diffuser came to fruition as it completely lights me up. So here goes!  Gather round, it's story time! So the new Diffuser was very much a labour of love 💕 It turned into one of the biggest projects I’ve taken on as a new business owner and I got just as much out of the experience as I put into it. Gotta love learning about yourself along this journey, right? 🌟 Earlier...
