Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser

SOiL Organic Aromatherapy

Struggling to find the perfect way to unwind after a stressful day at hard work? Feel like that glass of wine or shall we say bottle just isn’t cutting it? Fear not, here at The Amazing Blog, we’ve got just what you need to help make your days more peaceful and harmonious.  SOiL Organic Aromatherapy is our new best friend and could soon be yours as well!

Born out of a family managed, organic essential oil farming operation in Zululand, South Africa, SOiLhas been expanding and distilling aromatic plants for their precious oils since 2001. As an eco-ethical range certified by ECO-Cert, SOiL was the first company in South Africa to sell a complete range of 100% certified organic essential oils, many of which they grow themselves on their organic farm in Zululand. As an ethical brand that focuses on steering away from petrochemicals, parabens and synthetic fragrances they identify with a strong sense of commitment to the planet and society. SOiL stands apart from other similar brands as they farm, process and market all their own products from start to finish. They ensure no chemicals or fertilisers are used in their farming process hence giving their customers the promise of safe, natural and sustainable products in all regards.    

Their Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser is one of our favourites. Easy to use, safe and silent enough for you to hear a needle drop. It’s a low energy product that requires water and your favourite essential oil to be added to it. Even though the diffuser itself is sweet and smallish in size, the aroma will surely spread all across the room making you feel as though you’re in a spa. You get a timer on the device so you can manage how long you’d like it on and can also adjust the mist that it releases. With the essential oils of your choice, this diffuser is a winner in our eyes.

SOiL sells its very own collection of essential oils, each of which has unique and distinct properties that result in a number of benefits. The two that we tried out are their blends with Immunity and Energy. The Immunity oil in the diffuser is a great one for the office to help ward off coughs and colds, particularly with ingredients such as lemongrass, tea tree, benzoin resin and thyme help fight bacteria inside your body and further assist in building your immunity, as they say, prevention is better than cure! The Energy essential blend, on the other hand, is metaphorically speaking rather like a quick shot of espresso. Made with clary sage, lime, cypress and black pepper this blend is really a blessing. Perfect to get you ready for the day as well as serve as a pickup and invigorating blend after a long day, the Energy essential oil has also been a great hit in the office.

All their products are available online on their official website. The Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser is priced at an affordable £39.95 here (although we see today it’s been reduced to £31.96!) and their essential oil blends are sold from £7.92 here.

We’re coming up smelling of roses…and jasmine and green tea with just a hint of ginger

The Amazing PR office is a particularly fragrant place to be at the moment, not that it was anything other than delightfully scented before obviously! Now though, thanks to a great little gadget from the Made By Zen range of Ultrasonic Aroma Diffusers, we are able to tailor the scent according to our mood, frame of mind, or for a particular season. After finding ourselves in that mid-afternoon lull, lunch being over and the end of the day still out of sight behind a sea of spreadsheets, we experimented by adding jasmine and ylang ylang and hey presto! A definite lift in spirits. The beauty of the Made By Zen range is not only that they are so simple to set up and use, just fill with water and a few drops of essential or fragrance oil, switch on and you're good to go, but the clever ultrasonic technology means there is no heat source (luckily for us as the stream of mist rising from the top is way to tempting to refrain from waving our hands through several times a day).

So whether you want to experiment with a little at-home aromatherapy, or simply want a change from scented candles then, in our opinion, you can't go wrong with one of these little gadgets.  Soft LED lighting means they mimic the atmosphere created by candles, but with an automatic shut-off triggered when the water level gets too low you have a peace of mind you never get when burning candles.

So come and join us, let's get Zenned out...
