Whether you drive for work or school, there are plenty of opportunities to diffuse while driving!

How to Use an Essential Oil Car Diffuser by Loving Essential Oils

Recently, I have been enjoying aromatherapy sessions in my car. How you ask... with an Aromatherapy Car Diffuser! I must say, it is nice bringing my oils on the go while I am driving. In this blog post you will learn how to use an essential oil car diffuser.

There are car vent diffusers specifically designed so you can have your favorite scents with you while driving around town - no matter where you go. This allows you to feel refreshed after a long day of work or school!

Let's look at how you can use this device for many benefits, including mood enhancement and stress relief.

Essential Oil Car Vent Diffuser Benefits

There are many benefits to using essential oils. These natural scents can improve your mood, help you relax, and even reduce anxiety. You can use them in a diffuser for your car to help stimulate you mind while driving.

Can I Use Essential Oils in My Car? by Loving Essential Oils

A car vent diffuser is a great way to enjoy your favorite essential oils while on the go. The following are some of the ways that using an oil diffuser in your car can improve your life:

  • Your mood will be improved because of aromatherapy, which is known for its uplifting effects.
  • You'll feel less stressed because of the soothing scents filling up your vehicle. And this may help with any anxiety or depression issues that you might have as well.
  • Essential oils act as natural air purifiers by cleansing the air.

Types of Essential Oil Car Diffusers

There are many essential oil diffuser for the car on the market. I have tried a few and wanted to share my experience with them.

1. Car Lighter Plug In Diffusers

This is what it sounds like, an essential oil diffuser that plugs into your car lighter. This was the first kind of car diffuser I tried (several years ago) and didn't really like it, it seemed a little unsafe.

The one I owned got hotter than I was comfortable with and there was no on/off or hi/low settings, it was either plugged in running or removed from lighter socket. I was also afraid to leave it plugged in when I got out of the vehicle, requiring me to make sure I didn't forget each time I got out. That got old.

2. Car Vent Clip

This type uses the diffusion power of your car vent to disperse the oil aroma through the air. There are holes on the back side of the metal clip and inside the locket style clip is room for a circle scent pad. The scent pad holds the essential oil drops. It clips on to your car vent.

3. Hanging Terracotta Pendant Diffusers

I have enjoyed this type as well. Just place one drop on a terracotta pendant and passive diffusion happens as air flows over the pendant. It is simple and doesn't take much time.

Usually it hangs from car mirror but this might not be a good idea. Some states have laws about hanging things from the rear view mirror. The pendants are usually small and do not seem to pose a risk of obstructing views but you may wish to place them elsewhere in your vehicle.

4. USB Diffuser

This kind uses the power of the USB port to run and usually requires water. I have not tried this version personally, seems like it could be more work than I am willing to put in.

I personally like the passive diffuser types when I am driving, less distracting to me and no mist floating in the car.

How to Use an Essential Oil Car Diffuser

Are you wondering how to use essential oils in car? I am using an EO Car Diffuser Clip. I think it is the easiest one to implement for anyone at any level, plus it is cost friendly as well. Here is how to use it:

Step 1: Get Clip

Get an essential oil diffuser that can clip onto vent in your vehicle. There are many designs to choose from and they come with different colored scent pads.

Step 2: Pick Oil

Decide what essential oil or oil blend you want to use on the diffuser clip. It is recommended to avoid sedative essential oils since there will be some driving going on. Peppermint or citrus essential oils work great. I like evergreen essential oils too!

Step 3: Add Drops

Add drops to scent pad, you will need 5-8 drops of essential oils. Place scent pad into diffuser car clip and close lid.

Clip your car diffuser on to a vent in your vehicle. The diffuser clip has large holes in the back to allow air from the vent to pass through the scent pad an carry the aroma out.
