Everyone Needs Diffusers For Essential Oils

By Georgia Diaz


Everyone can use diffusers for essential oils in their homes or businesses. They help maintain alertness, ease stress, and simply smell wonderful. There are many forms that they can have, anything from an electric whole-home style to a personal pendant or desk style.

Probably the most common diffusers for essential oils is the simple tea light warmer that has been with us for many years. These have a glass or ceramic bowl with water in it that is built about a spot for a tea light candle to be lighted and placed. With just a scarce amount of oil added to the water, the fragrance will soon be throughout the room and the glow of candlelight adds welcome ambiance.

Heat allows the molecules to escape, and an electric style works similarly to the tea light. These often utilize a light bulb rather than a candle to heat and disperse scent. There are some that use a fan and often increases the amount of released scent. Fan styles do not use heat. A few drops of oil are added to a pad that the fan forces air across to create scent.

The reed diffuser is a beautiful way to distribute scent. Elaborate or simple, the container holding the oil will blend nicely with any style. If there is no room on a counter, they even come in a hanging form for the wall. Absorbent clay sticks can take the place of reeds to add a different look, effectively changing the atmosphere of a room.

Another way to disperse essential oil benefits is through the use of unsealed clay pots. Many of these are available with only portions of the pot unsealed, leaving only the part that actually uses the oil unsealed, this prevents oil transfer. These come in a large variety of sizes, styles, and colors to add the most scent and beauty where you need it most.

One of the most effective ways to add fragrance is with the use of a nebulizer style diffuser. Simply fill a chamber within the unit with the oil and the unit pumps air through it allowing it to disperse in tiny droplets directly into the air. Although not particularly beautiful in appearance, they do come in an assortment of sizes, may have subtle lighting options, and are very easy to use. Just fill it up an plug it in.

Pendant styles are perfect for when a light scent is needed to clear a cold or if a person is allergic to actually applying the oil directly to the skin. They are a personal diffuser that only the wearer will benefit from and can be very attractive.

Before you buy diffusers for essential oils, take time to plan where you will put them. Take into account where you want them as the efficiency of certain styles may not be suitable to different size rooms. A small area or room is ideal for a reed diffuser. If your need requires a larger room, nebulizers are far more efficient and better suited.
