Essential Oil Bracelets:
Another great way in which we can carry the benefits of aromatherapy around with us, is with essential oil bracelets. In the past we’ve discussed different types of diffusers, and how they work.
We’ve expanded upon the portability notion through the use of car diffusers. Additionally, we’ve discussed ones that make a perfect fit in your home or work office space.
Consequently, in this post, we’ll talk about maybe even a cooler and more fashionable way to now enjoy aromatherapy, “on the go”.
Many of the therapeutic benefits that come from essential oils have been well documented. Oftentimes, individuals turn to aromatherapy due to touted benefits mentally, physically, and spiritually.
But how can we take the benefits with us during our daily routine?
To answer this question, we talk essential oil diffuser bracelets.
Why are Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets So Great?
Well different people may answer this question differently. However, here are some reasons we love diffuser bracelets:
- They can be used anytime. Whether home, the grocery store, stuck in traffic, meditating or practicing yoga.
- They come in a variety of styles and colors, making them very trendy.
- These bracelets harness multiple different diffusing mediums: For example, leather, scent pads, beads, clays, and charms.
- Not all of the beads are diffusing beads. This allows makers to be very creative and think aesthetics, not just function.
- Relatively inexpensive.
Above all, these bracelets are truly multipurpose, and is why they have become so popular. Much of what makes aromatherapy so wonderful is that the aromas elicit and trigger calming emotions in many people.
With diffuser bracelets, you don’t have to be in one stationary place to enjoy the calm they may bring.
Do you ever have that scent that just puts your mind at ease?
Maybe it’s a favorite body lotion, bath product, perfume or even your spouses cologne. Just imagine being able to have that aroma around you all day long, or times of stress, feeling down and out.
Aromatherapy diffuser bracelet’s offer just that. Not only are they stylish, but they have purpose too, to help soothe and calm the mind.
Oftentimes, you’ll find them available in all sorts of colors, or if you like it basic, that’s okay too. The options are endless, so go get yourself a fun diffuser bracelet to represent your personality, or even match a specific occasion.
How Do Essential Oil Bracelets Work?
A fairly straightforward question that many don’t know the answer too, and that’s okay!
To be honest, it’s a simple concept really.
Once you’ve found an oil or few oils that help to calm you in times of stress, or that simply place you in a positive mood, you’re ready to go.
Some of the more common essential oils you can read about for stress relief inlude:
- Lavender
- Clary Sage
- Jasmine
- Bergamot
- Lemongrass
With that said, you’ll find all sorts of information around the web, even on our store/blog discussing our favorite scents for relaxation. However, that doesn’t always mean that scent will be the best for you.
The is a highly subjective process. Meaning, this is very personal and may yield different results from person to person. The bottom line is, find the oils that best reflect you or bring you satisfaction and calm.
So you’ve found some oils you like, now what?
Essential Oil Bracelets Key Factor:
The main component to any good type of aroma bracelet is absorption. The beads that offer absorption is what makes these bracelets truly unique and give them their title.
Your typical bead is not going to absorb moisture or an essential oil for a long lasting aroma. Hence, if you add an oil to just “some bead” it will drip off, and within a few minutes the aroma will be gone.
The beads that are added to these essential oil bracelets include;
- wood
- lava stone
- leather (or faux leather)
- clay
- You may also find bracelets with pads or charms on them which hold the oil as well
Typically, it’s these specialty type beads added to a bracelet that turn them into aromatherapy diffuser bracelets, and not just another piece of jewelry.
In the world we live today, you’re sure to find unique and intriguing designs that can fit your personality and merely any occasion. Often, these bracelets can be blended into your style. No one would even suspect you were wearing something so meaningful and purposeful.
Simply add a gemstone bead resembling or matching your specific birthstone. Truly, now you have a one of a kind, unique bracelet that fits you!
Applying Essential Oils to your Bracelet:
Sometimes seeing something, is easier then explaining:
Others also recommend a gentle rub to the stone(s) of which you added the oils. This is not absolutely necessary. However, the oils do tend to absorb slightly faster and more effectively.
Another option is using a bottle with a roller to add the oils which may be just a little less messy.
Keep in mind that certain oils aromas will last longer then others. Citrusy scents like lemon, orange, although beautiful scents tend to fade quicker. It may help to add an extra drop or two.
Floral and mint based oils, however, tend to have a more lasting aroma.
Best Ways & Times to Use your Aromatherapy Diffuser Bracelet
Besides your bracelet bringing you a sense of tranquility throughout the day, here are some of the best uses for your bracelet:
a. During Yoga Sessions:
Whether you practice on your own, or with a group, try adding a drop before a yoga session to increase your sense of calm
b. During Meditation:
Like yoga, meditation is about relaxation, that mind-body connection. Why not try to add to that relaxed time period with a few drops of your favorite oils.

d. After Work:
Nothing screams relaxation more then kicking off your shoes, and pouring a glass of wine after a long day. How about enhancing those moments with another component.
