Three Diffuser Blends for Focused Reading

In the spirit of full disclosure, some of the links on our blog may be affiliate links and I may get compensation if you decide to purchase said products. All of the products promoted on A Simply Enchanted Life are used and loved by me. All opinions are my own.

People ask me often how I keep my focus and read so many books. The answer is simple—I love to read and I take comfort in it. I choose to read instead of watching television. I am also a fast reader. However, from time to time I do have trouble with focus.  It isn’t often that I have this problem but when I do, I like to use essential oils in the diffuser to increase my focus and attention.  I hope you enjoy these diffuser recipes as much as I do!

It is not advisable to directly and intensively inhale essential oils for longer than 15-20 minutes, such as with steam inhalation. However, this does not apply to ambient inhalation from essential oils vaporized into the air. If you are diffusing essential oils, it makes more sense to do this intermittently than constantly, all day long. Ideally, diffuse essential oils for 30-60 minutes on, then 30-60 minutes off. This is not only safer, but it’s also more effective as both our bodies and our nervous system habituate to essential oils after this period of time. Whenever you are using or diffusing essential oils, some air exchange (fresh air) is advisable. (1)
