When used safely, essential oils have endless applications for purifying the air, improving mood, and promoting a calm, relaxed atmosphere.

Safety
Because there are so many factors involved with aromatic use— the size of the room, output of a diffuser, the nature of the air in the room, etc.— it is difficult to control the amount of oil you are exposed to when using essential oils aromatically.
While there is no specific recommendation made for dosage when it comes to aromatic use, it is important to remember that moderation is best. The amount of oil used and duration of diffusion or exposure greatly depends on things like room size, proximity of the person to the diffuser, differential output of diffusers, air turnover in the room— thus it varies from person to person.
It is also important to remember that essential oils are extremely potent, and each person will react differently to the aroma of an oil. Individuals should consider their own personal health and experience with essential oils when determining dosage for aromatic use. When using essential oils aromatically to improve wellness, it is a good idea to consult with a health care provider, specifically when it comes to safe use.
