According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.
Friends, I ended up with an essential oil diffuser a lot like this one in my possession after a particularly good White Elephant exchange many years ago — and honestly, it is one of my favorite things in my entire home. I keep it in my office, because, well, I spend so much time in here that it behooves me to make it an enjoyable space in which to be. And boy, does my cute little diffuser help with that! Personally, I am fond of combining a few drops of peppermint and eucalyptus oils in mine, but if you’re more of an orange or lavender person, have at it.
Promising review: “The best one! I have owned this diffuser for several years now, and it’s still going strong. It is classy-looking, not cheap plastic like most others. Very solid and heavier that most others. It has oscillating colors or one color (or no light if you prefer). Easy to set and runs eight hours. Auto-shutoff. I run it without fragrance on dry days just to humidify the air.” —Pathjourneys
