Nebulizers, ultrasonic diffusers, heat diffusers, evaporative diffusers. The present-day market offers many devices that make a good use of essential oil. Thanks to this text, you are going to learn the best of them. Choose the one due to which you will be able to feel the healing power of oils.
CHIMNEY ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER
This is the most popular method which is worth giving a go while using dense oils such as thyme, oregano or clove oil. How do these oils work? It’s not complicated since the oils rinse up and float together with the evaporating water. The advantages of chimney essential oil diffusers are: a low price, a wide choice and a decorative function. The disadvantages: a low oil diffusion factor, low efficiency, don’t carry 100% aromatherapeutic features and isn’t recommended for citric oils.
CANDLES AND OIL LAMPS
Neither candles nor oil lamps carry aromatherapeutic features. Instead, their aim is to help you relax. High temperature impedes distribution of smell. The aroma is hard to sense, without even mentioning pro-health features. An oil massaged directly into skin or applied to hair will serve way better rather than used as an additive to a candle or a lamp.
EVAPORATING BASIN AND STEAM WASHING MACHINE
These aren’t typical essential oil diffusers but devices facilitating window, floor and other home appliances cleaning. Here a question raises, whether we can pour an essential oil to such a device, or not? Naturally, you can do this! However, bear in mind that once you do this, the oil loses all its aromatherapeutic features. On the other hand, it can turn out that a particular oil is a very effective cleaning substance. For example, lemon oil has lightening up feature, rosemary oil – antiseptic, and lavender oil smells wonderful.
ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIERS
These are small devices which maintains room’s humidity at the right level. It’s especially useful during cold winters, when we turn up the heaters. How does an ultrasonic humidifier work? In short, water and an essential oil have to be poured into a special container the humidifier features. The steam water that gets out of the device distributes the aroma of the essential oil all around the room.
