Oil burners compared to oil diffusers
The changing of the seasons can leave us feeling a little all over the place. Our energy can be buzzing once the sun comes out, but when the cold and rain returns (as it has been here in Melbourne) our mood seems to plummet. Seasonal depression sometimes feels the strongest when we’ve had that taste of Spring, then El Nina takes it away - at least that’s how we’re feeling here at Thornbury Apothecary!
Essential oils have long been known to aid in balancing energy levels, and providing a natural means to reconnect with our senses and hormones. One of our favourite brands, Lively Living, is committed to just that. Fueled by innovation, style and wellbeing, their ultrasonic aroma diffusing technology has revolutionised the aromatherapy market across Australia and New Zealand, not to mention people’s homes and wellbeing as well. Combined with their commitment to using only organic, high quality oils and sustainable sourcing wherever possible, it’s no wonder we’re proud to stock Lively Living here at the Apothecary.
So why are their ultrasonic aroma diffusers so revolutionary?
Compared to oil burners, ultrasonic or electric aromatherapy diffusers allow us to experience the full range of essential oil benefits. Particularly when compared to traditional ceramic burners which run the risk of over-heating the oils and breaking their molecules aggressively, hence releasing only the scent without the additional healing properties of the oil’s mist. Particularly in homes with pets or children, the safety of using unregulated candle diffusers and burners is obviously an additional issue to consider!
When the temperature is regulated and the oil is burnt gently with Lively Living’s range of diffusers, the entire scope of aromatherapy’s benefits can be experienced. Whether you’re in need of a general energetic elevation, or assistance in sleep and meditation, their range of oil blends are tailored to suit any ailment - with pet-friendly blends available too (yay!)
As with any holistic practice, it’s important to feel an individual connection to the product you use. For example, my current favourite Lively Living blend would be the Protection Blend, for purification and detoxification. With its fusion of citrus, eucalyptus and spices like cinnamon and cloves, I feel drawn to the sense of empowerment and cleansing it generates - a very welcome combination for such an unstable changing of the seasons we’re experiencing.
So come and see for yourself! With our range of testers available in-store at the Apothecary, it’s easy to find the blend(s) that work best for you. Hop on board the Lively Living train, and notice the difference for yourself.
