I'm sure a lot of us has already heard of essential oils especially that EO enthusiasts are very vocal of their fondness of these natural products. Essential oils claim numerous benefits not just for the body, but all for the mind, psyche, and overall wellness of all ages.
I am sure you have a friend on social media who claims to have reaped with the benefits of using essential oils. There are a number of essential oil brands out there to choose from - Young Living, Doterra, Plant Therapy, Aura Cacia and Eden's Garden to name a few. Almost all, if not all of them are products imported from other countries, and are not locally made from the Philippines. Thus, it requires an ample amount of money because the products are expensive in itself, plus you spend for shipping and courier services.
For those who are skeptical on the use of essential oils, those who just want to try it out before finally purchasing an entire kit, and those that find the much popular brands too expensive, there is actually a much cheaper way to try out essential oils for themselves.
Miniso, a popular Japanese store that carries various items that ranges from makeup, electronics, home supplies and much more, actually sells an Essential Oil Diffuser. It retails for only 899 pesos, and has the capacity of 100ml water. Miniso branches are available at SM department stores nationwide.
Upon research on Diffuser Vs Humidifier, I actually found out that Diffusers, are intended for Essential Oils, and usually has lower water capacity ranging from 100-350ml. On the other hand, humidifiers are used to simply humidify air inside a room and usually is capable of up to 1000ml of water. This simply means that in order for a few drops of essential oils to spread its smell on a room, it will take you about 2-3 drops when you use it on a diffuser. And ideally, you shouldn't use oil on a humidifier because some people report on their humidifiers breaking when they add oil to it.
I actually enjoyed using my Miniso Essential Oils Diffuser up to now. It is about 3 months since I bought it, and I have tried some essential oils from Aura Cacia that can be bought at Healthy Options. Also, I was able to buy Plant Therapy essential oils on Shopee at retail bottles, which are very practical since I was still trying it out and hoping to see whether it was indeed effective for our family.
So far, I am liking its effects since it actually works its magic, and it really helps with minor sniffles and it helps induce sleep, and gives that overall feeling of wellness.
