Why use jewellery with Essential Oils?

✨  What is essential Oil Diffuser Jewellery ? ✨

Certain pieces of jewellery are made using special beads, called diffuser beads, that can naturally absorb essential oils. 

Diffuser beads are often made from lava stone or some types of light weight wood, for example rosewood. (However lava stone tends to asorbe more quickly than wooden beads because the lava beads are less likely to be varnished.)

Lava stone comes from the core of the earth; it's the lava thrown out from erupting volcanoes which then cools. Its porous nature means that it’s perfect to naturally absorb essential oils and the heat from your body means they release their fragrance, therfore acting as a diffuser during the day. 

The lava beads are the rough, porous, dull white or black colour beads on your jewellery and adding your favourite essential oil to these beads on your jewellery means you can enjoy the smell on the go, when you need and where you need, during your day.

The length of time the smell lasts depends on the quality of the essential oil you're using. The more expensive and more concentrated oils will last longer, up to 12 hours, while cheaper and more diluted oils will need to be reapplied to the beads every few hours.

 

✨  How do I add the essential oil to my Diffuser Jewellery ? ✨

Follow these simple steps;

• Apply 1-2 drops of your favourite essential oil to the tip of your finger.
• Apply the oil by rolling your fingers with the oil over the lava beads on your jewellery. In the case of stretch bracelets make sure not to touch the inside elastic string on the inside of the bracelet.
• Let the oil absorb.
• Once absorbed you can put on your jewellery and enjoy the scent during the day.

Reapply the oil once the scent has faded (the time of fading depends on the quality of the oil used as I mentioned above, but can vary between a few hours and half a day)

There is no need to clean the beads when you change essential oils, but over time the white beads will take on a slightly yellow hue due to the natural oil in the essential oils.

 

✨ What are the benefits of using Essential Oils with your jewellery? ✨

Essential Oils and Aromatherapy have been used for centuries to enhance wellbeing by influencing directly our emotions.

When you breathe in the aroma, it doesn’t just trigger a memory to create an emotional response; the aroma comes into direct contact with the Olfactory cells.

These cells are stimulated to produce an impulse that travels to the limbic system - this is the part of the brain which governs memory, instincts and emotions. 

This stimulation can cause the brain to release hormones and neurotransmitters, which in turn can change mood and stress levels. So inhaling essential oils during the day can have a positive influence on your health; help to reduce stress and anxiety, improve your concentration or give you an energy boost just when you need it. 

For reducing stress we recommend using Lavendar Essential Oil combined with our Anti Stress and Anti Anxiety bracelet or Inner Peace bracelet. The combination of lavendar with the gemstones compliment each other: the smell of lavendar is naturally calming.

Alternatively for an uplifing and positive mood during the day we recommend using a citrus or peppermind essential oil combined with our Self Confidence bracelet or our Citrine bracelet for Crystal Energy.

 

✨ What’s the difference between using roller balls with essential oils and using oils on jewellery? ✨

I’ve personally used essential oil roller balls as natural alternatives to industrially made perfumes, but the smell on the skin is very light and doesn’t last long. The oils in these roller balls are heavily diluted in carrier oils, for example almond oil, to make them skin-friendly. In this way they don’t cause irritation or allergies, but it reduces the time the smell remains active.

When you use essential oil diffuser jewellery the oil can be used on the beads without being diluted. This means the smell remains stronger and lasts longer.
