Diffusers for essential oils can be a source of pollution and pose a danger to people living in the house, Agence nationale de sécurité Sanitaire experts noted.

According to Medical Express, experts refer to 1,400 documented cases when people suffered from diffusers.

According to experts, usually unpleasant symptoms disappear soon after the exposure to irritating substances ceases.

Experts also emphasize that essential oils, contrary to popular belief, do not protect against coronavirus and other viral infections. Pregnant and lactating women, as well as people with respiratory problems, should completely abandon the use of essential oils in any form, experts say.
