Sha Faun Tips for Cleaning an Essential Oil Diffuser:
 
Essential oils are for lack of a better word, oils. Oil build up in your diffuser can create problems for you and your diffuser. Wiping out your diffuser between uses and doing a deep cleaning of your diffuser once or twice a month can keep your diffuser happy and keep your aromatherapy blends clean. 
 
Oily build up can mix your scents, making it challenging to diffuse your relaxing lavender when the smell of clove keeps creeping in from the residue left over from the last time you diffused your holiday blend. 
 
Essential oil residue and buildup can wear down the components of your oil diffuser and reduce its life. When you invest in your health through aromatherapy, Sha Faun Enterprises wants to teach you how to keep your investment working.
 
These simple tips will keep your blends pure and your diffuser performing at its peak.
 
How to Clean your Oil Diffuser between Uses: 

1. Unplug your diffuser
2. Add clean water to your diffuser and rinse out your water reservoir. 
3. Wipe out your oil diffuser with a dry cotton cloth. 

 
At the very least, you should be wiping out your diffuser every time you change oils.

A native shrub that grows wild along the southern coasts of Australia and Tasmania, kunzea was used for centuries by native cultures. The kunzea plant, with its bulbous tops and whimsical blossoms, is commonly referred to as “White cloud.”The extracted Kunzea essential oil has comparable properties and uses to Tea Tree oil but offers a more pleasant aroma and milder sensation when applied topically. It contains a high level of alpha-pinene and eucalyptol, so it works to help soothe fatigued muscles and reduce the appearance of blemishes. When diffused, it helps create a relaxing atmosphere and creates a refreshing respiratory experience.



Kunzea Essential Oil Uses:

• Diffuse at home or work for a relaxing, woodsy aroma that helps create an uplifting environment.
• Add to V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex and massage into skin after a physically intense workout to help soothe fatigued muscles.
• Apply topically to chest for a refreshing respiratory experience.

• Diffuse to help purify the air from unwanted odors.
