We harvest our Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood oil from already-dying trees. That’s one way we protect the forest and honor the land. #youngliving #seedtoseal #farming #hawaii #younglivingessentialoil

This is good info - i have wondered about this!

Diffuser Tips from Dr. Doug Corrigan --
Why does the smell from my diffuser seem to decrease when I use it for a long time?
There is a phenomenon called olfactory fatigue, and it is a common neural adaptation to reduce the response to prolonged stimuli. Binding of an aromatic molecule to our olfactory receptor causes a series of signaling reactions in our nerve cells which negate further activation of the same receptor.
Extended stimulation of the olfactory receptor causes a negative feedback loop that desensitizes the receptor to further stimulation.
Also- over time, the composition of the essential oil in the diffuser is changing as the the more volatile/smaller molecules evaporate first. Over several hours, the molecules left in the diffuser are the heavier sesquiterpenes and diterpenes, which have a more muted odorant profile than the lighter monoterpenes. So, the smell will change/diminish over time, even without the process of olfactory fatigue.
There is some evidence that smelling coffee beans can reset the olfactory senses. Give that a try.
Also, make sure you’re cleaning the diffuser. If the ultrasonic membrane grows a biofilm over it, the amount of energy transferred to the water to atomize the liquid will decrease as this biofilm grows.

Got stinky feet? In vitro research concluded that patchouli oil inhibits sixteen strains of common skin bacteria that are associated with foot and armpit odor.
