5 essential oils to diffuse for fall at home

It turns out that it is the most Functional home fragrance is as old as time. Did you know that aromatherapy and medicinal scents were among the first forms of medicine ever administered for health and healing? They also do amazing scents to spread throughout your home, especially in the fall as the holidays approach. Candles are great, but diffused oils may be safer and more functional for our mental health! Whether you’re looking to create a serene scene before the holidays, purify your space at the height of flu season, or support everyone’s mood during the changing light hours, this form of aromatherapy can be a powerful practice of well-being.

Beloved herb brand Anima Mundi announced its partnership with former small-batch producer Floracopeia this year and we’ve been in streaming mode all day ever since. “The essential oil industry can be incredibly misleading,” explained Adriana Ayles, herbalist and founder of Anima Mundi. “That’s why it is of the utmost importance to me to continue Floracopeias’ tradition of small batch distillations for conscious consumers.”

The basics of essential oils

01 Aromatherapy was one of the first forms of medicine ever administered for healing purposes. Floracopeia founder David Crow is deeply learned in the literature of ancient aromatherapeutic traditions and ancient medicinal fragrance traditions.

02 They’re not really oils! The scientific term for essential oil is volatile organic compound – the component of a plant that is rapidly released into the air. These plant extracts contain terpenes, which differ from fatty oils, and make them transdermal.

03 Sustainability is essential. Just like our food, purchasing essential oils requires precautions. The industry can improve the environment and economically support or exploit indigenous farmers. Sustainable sourcing supports those working to preserve and regenerate the species.

04 Quality is essential. Buy dark-colored glass containers. Pure essential oils are very concentrated and can dissolve plastic bottles over time, thus spoiling the oil.
