There are hundreds of different essential oil diffusers available on the market today. They range in cost from just $10 to more than $100. With so many options, finding the right one can be quite challenging.
The Essential Oil Diffuser -; What Is It?
The process of diffusing the essential oils, or even releasing them into the air in a room is a popular method of using essential oils. A diffuser is a unique device designed to spread any essential oil selected through a room or house, as long as it is turned on. It provides an inviting fragrance and is completely safe to use -; as long as someone is using it properly. Most diffuser companies provide information on how to use the system properly, for example, there is help at AromaTech.
While this is true, the first step is to find the right diffuser. Some tips to help with this can be found below.
Go With The Popular Option
One of the most popular types of diffusers available today is the ultrasonic diffuser. These are available at many price points, are simple to clean, and typically, they won’t break. This diffuser will use electronic frequencies and vibrate quickly. It creates an effect such as boiling water, but it doesn’t use the heat. The vibrations that are produced will break down the oils into very small micro-particles, which will then send them into the air in the form of a fine mist.
Getting A Stronger Scent
If someone wants a stronger fragrance from the oils, they can opt for a nebulizing diffuser, instead. With this diffuser, the oil is vaporized before it is released as a mist. This is the type of essential oil diffuser that will create a much more intense aroma -; this is especially beneficial for anyone who enjoys citrus oil scents. This type of diffuser is often more than $100 and it is often extremely fragile. That’s because they are made out of glass and will take more cleaning to prevent a clog.
Ditch The Heat
With such a large number of diffusers available on the market, it is quite easy to be confused and a bit lost when trying to select one for a home. It is a good idea to avoid hot plate diffusers, candle diffusers, or steam diffusers because these are going to heat up the oil. If this happens, it will impact their delicate design and chemistry. Heat is going to make the essential oils much less effective, which means more must be used to get the desired results.
Signs Of A Quality Diffuser
It is important to avoid getting to fixated on the cost of the diffuser. It is important to find one that is easy to clean and a timer built in that will let the user ensure the perfect amount of oil is released. It is possible to find increments that run for up to an hour or even cycle on and off at a set amount of time.
For those who are ready to find a quality diffuser, there are several factors that must be thought about. Being informed and knowing what to look for will help ensure the desired results are achieved. The tips here are a great way to begin and checking some things out in person is also a smart move.
