Which essential oil diffuser?
This is a question we get asked frequently. The answer, of course, "it depends". The aromatherapy diffuser is best for you on your planned usage.
Speakers spray - Germ Zapping
If you want to saturate the air of a room with your chosen essential oil or blend aromatherapy nebulizer is for you. If someone in my family feels as if "they come down with something ', which virusey, feeling sore, I fill the glassNebulizer with our favorite anti-virus or anti-bacterial oils and leave all night, filled my bedroom with very powerful oil. Chances are, if I wake in the morning, I was looking very bad mistake on any attack.
For the effects strictly therapeutic / medicinal / germkilling, I use one of our spray Amrita. There are many brands on the market. Everyone has a checkered glass fixture, supplied by an air pump with power. The glass breaks the oil into tiny droplets in the locationstill suspended in the air for up to two hours. The advantage of the nebulizer is obvious that work more effectively fills the air with tiny particles of your oil is chosen.
The disadvantages are two. First, most nebulizers are strong enough. They are, after all, fed by pumps aquarium. Some people do not mind the noise, to respond to it as a "white noise" background noise. Others find it annoying. If the noise is likely to be a problem, and yours is small, from allmeans choosing a model "Tranquility".
Second: The require fumigation speakers tend to have higher maintenance costs than other options. First, put the essential oil in the spray of glass a little 'difficult. Eventually I gave in to reality and began with a pipette after the oil spill in an attempt to pour from the bottle into the glass opening. In addition, the occasional glass nebulizer (along with the silicone tube attached) cleaning. I think I'm not the only one who hasAllow the nebulizer associated with oil in it, so you can react with oxygen in the air and get all the fat and "gunky" The best way to clean it is, add a high percentage of alcohol (90% works best !) for the resolution of accumulated oil, drain and air dry.
In addition, the nebulizer can be used with the thick, viscous oils ... Benzoin, vetiver, etc. They are completely clogged and not to show they are not mixed with other, more subtle, essential oils. Never use an oil carrier in the spray, oran essential oil diluted in a carrier. It ruins the glass nebulizer and void the warranty.
COLD FOG - For Children
If you have young children who are susceptible to colds, ear infections, etc., chances are they have been told to run a humidifier in the bedroom. The Cool Mist (sometimes called "ultrasonic speaker" or "ultrasonic nebulizers") serves as both a humidifier and aromatherapy diffuser. He received a small amount of water that remains at room temperature only in case of an activeChild is able to pay - no danger of scalding. Essential oils and water are distributed by ultrasonic waves to the moisture in the air while filling the room with aroma.
The advantages of this are obvious. No part in the breakable glass, the additional moisture in the air. The machine turns off when the water level is too far, and can always be turned on and off. I was told that children are often fascinated by light. (I remember my mother's lava lamp has this kind of ...Charm!)
Disadvantages? If you want to live in a damp / wet weather is not to add more moisture to the air in your home. And there are some who find the light annoying. It can not be turned off while the machine is running.
AROMA STONE - quiet and safe
One of them is sitting on my bedside table. I like it because I can add "go to sleep," my favorite plug in oil or a mixture, and forget about it.
I think it's one of the two low-maintenance electric diffusersI've never used, and less intrusive. Completely silent and secure. Even if it is hot, the oil is taken without water (although it is possible to add a tablespoon of water with the oil), the device heats only "baby bottle" temperature. The oils are not overheated.
The amount of heat is so low, rarely think to separate them, before going to bed, and left in all honesty, was for two or three days. (I recommend!) The apparatus is heated so gently that there is no danger ofOverheating.
Mine is very low maintenance. If I remember to wipe with a damp paper towel every morning because it remains immaculate. If you forget and leave it on too long, so they "stick" the oil or mixture at the base, a towel moistened with alcohol, can be like new. Though not completely indestructible (it is ceramic, after all) mine is survived more than once has been without problems.
Small size of the stone aroma makes it easy to "compress" toTravel. I hate the smell of the air in the room smells aromatic and always with my journey in a strange room, as do at home!
These are the advantages.
The disadvantages? It is a powerful speaker. Will not fill a large area, but space is very fragrant, but is perfect for the intimacy of the bedroom and bathroom. I would not choose the stone for the spread of germicidal aromatic blends ... I want a nebulizer. But for subtle and discreet "set and forget" to use itis unsurpassed.
Fragrance lamps - for the mood and atmosphere of a ceramic aromalamp was my first (well, actually, my second) of essential oil diffuser and remains one of my favorites.
Please note: A aromalamp is sometimes referred to as an "essential oil burner" ... This is misleading, because the oils should never be "burned". The bowl must be filled with water, as described below.
Fill the cup with hot water, light a candle in a few drops of your favorite oil, and the roomquickly filled with the scent of your choice.
I was years ago that the spread of oil in hot water is a surprisingly effective way of being taught to fill a room with the aromatic vapors. The molecules of essential oil of "shoulders" on the molecules of water vapor, spread the surprisingly fast. This makes the light smell almost as effective for the therapeutic benefits of misting diffuser.
In my experience, you can cover an area large enough aromalamp. The water vapor moves where it wants.The "front" My house is a large open space ... Kitchen, dining room, living room. Aroma lamp in a range sufficient for all the rooms.
I do not recommend the use of scented candles. Most are scented with synthetic materials, and those who use real essential oils created with oil much more than I can justify. When I want to light a candle, beeswax candles from me, many of which are positioned in a circle, with a light fragrance and a candle in the center. Nice atmosphere, the mix of my emotional choice, aFeeling of real luxury! I think a aromalamp is unsurpassed, if your goal is the use of emotional oils.
If I do not want to be added to a table full of candles, the candle flame dances for the environment.
The silence aromalamp and attractive, with designs for all tastes.
These are the advantages of a light fragrance. The disadvantages?
1 You should be aware of the water level. Can evaporate a censer with a fairly small bowl, mix the water throughoutbefore the candle burns. Add fresh cold water or hot in the bowl almost always leads to broken glass!
2 If you burn it to dry, but do not break the bowl to allow thorough cleaning can be a challenge.
3 Of course there is always a risk when you have candles lit. Leave the room, do not use perfumed lamps for children or pets to harmful.
4 And speaking of pets. They placed the candle, because it leaves the room ... but it was empty andput aromalamp. A thirsty dog, cat or bird may be terrible damage caused by drinking water with the essential oil dissolved. Please watch your children or FURKIDS birds!
Fresh Fans - Multi-purpose
The Spa fragrance is an example of a cold, is an excellent choice diffuser.It fandriven used for all of the above. The drawer slides on the floor. Add a pad of cellulose soaked in oil or a mixture, and turn on the device. A fan blows cold air, oilMolecules from the openings at the top, and the room fills with the oil of your choice. The fan is in my experience, the quieter and less obtrusive than the larger spray, although not as quiet as the rest or the stone aroma.
The Fragrance Spa does not use the heat is so safe to use around children.
I think over a larger area of my vague aroma of stone, and is not safe to leave unattended.
The disadvantages? I do not think that fills every need as well as some individualSpeaker of the above types of essential oils.
The speakers are more efficient when fogging their therapeutic needs. The aromalamp is attractive if you need it is used only for environmental or emotional. The aroma is stone silent.
But for a "compromise" to meet the needs of many, the best choice of all Perfumes Spa. There are also small battery-powered fan / speaker cabinet or a desk in the office thought.
ON THE ROAD: THE CAR speakers
Two possibilitiesa "passive" - a hanging clay pot (or other ornamental terracotta), which the rearview mirror or an electric diffuser that can vary in the phone charger or cigarette lighter plug. The "plug in" is, I think a little 'more effective.
Anyone who has its advantages. With a roof terra cotta oil diffuser or a mixture is limited, it is not easy to switch from one to another. With the "plug in" car speakers, just change the little cardboard disk that isessential oils. If you know you are always the same mixture of fresh air in your car like, the speaker could be a simple terra cotta hanging. If sometimes an air freshener, and other times it wants to "stay awake" a blend (or mixture of anti-nausea), then the plug-in diffuser car would be the best choice.
Speakers PERSONAL - (! Privacy) There are two types of inhalers aromatherapy inhalers staff that I know of. One of them is a very simple plastic often seen on the counterInhalants in the packed, the other is a rather elegant accessory pocket. Both for immediate use, for relaxation, to combat headaches or other physical or emotional impact.
There is a certain type of speaker that honestly it is not advisable. There is a small "ball", which is directly to the outlet. It contains a pad of cellulose that is wet with the oil chosen. I have this to overheat and burn the pads. I wonder if they could pose a fire hazard.The oils are heated to high temperatures which degrade the oil, and there is nothing to encourage the movement of the aromatic vapors throughout the room. The idea of low cost and low weight was tempting, but I'm not really a good value.
