Diffusers are a lovely way to experience aromatherapy! They are an accessory that is designed to get the molecules of essential oil to evaporate into the environment, creating a theraputic inhalation for you, and a beautiful scent in your home.
There are two basic types of diffusers: electric or candle-types.
ELECTRIC DIFFUSERS come in many different styles, and new ones are being introduced every day. There are two basic types of electric diffusers:
HEATED ELECTRICS have a warming plate or such device that causes the molecules of oil to evaporate and expand. Heat operating electric diffusers will scent the largest square footage of room space.
COLD-AIR ELECTRICS have a fan or air pump that blows cool air through a chamber of oil or a cotton pad soaked with oil so that molecules of the oil are blown into the air. Some aromtherapists do not want heat to potentially lessen the benefits of their oils, and will only use this type of diffuser.
*We are proud to carry the UltraScent Multi-Diffuser, that offers you the options of high/low heat and/or fan, in addition to the rotation of a different scent every two hours!
CANDLE-TYPE DIFFUSERS have a dish that you fill with water and essential oil (6-12 drops) that sits above a tea-light candle that warms the oil to get the molecules to evaporate into the air. These are decorative and efficient, also less expensive than electric styles. A wonderful gift for someone that you want to introduce to aromatherapy!
