Also known as an aromatherapy diffuser, an essential oil diffuser does its job by dispersing fragrance into the air, leaving it smelling great and you feeling ultra-relaxed.
However, these homeware essentials are not just for looking and smelling good. The pros of having one in your home range from relaxation and anti-stress all the way to pain management and improving sleep quality. So while you cosy up at home this winter, consider investing in an essential oil diffuser to create your own sense of calm – and let’s face it, we all need a bit of that!
