Diffusers are gadgets used in aroma therapy to disperse the molecules of the essential oils into the air. There are different types of diffusers. They range from simple ones such as a candle placed under a bowl of essential oils to the electric and the ultrasonic ones. The type of aromatherapy diffuser to use depends on the type of aromatherapy you are using. For instance, you cannot use an electric diffuser if all you are applying is an oil scrub.
Electric aromatherapy diffusers
An electric aromatherapy diffuser mostly consists of a small pot holding the aroma therapy mixture and an electric fan attached unto it. The fan blows the essential oil scent quietly allowing it to fill the room spreading its therapeutic effect. The electric aromatherapy diffusers come with low and high settings that allow one to adjust the speed of the fan depending on your likes. They come in different shapes and sizes but one basic thing is that they use a form of electric power to fan the diffuser.
Some of the aromatherapy electric diffusers currently available in the market include the aroma shell, scent ball electric diffuser and the car scenter electric diffuser. Like the name suggests, the aroma shell is an electric diffuser designed in the shape of a sea shell. You simply drop a few drops of your favorite essential oil on the shell pad and turn it on. The scent ball is almost similar in shape to the shell but this one is portable. You only need to charge it. The car scenter is designed to fit in a car lighter as it is meant to be used in cars while travelling.
Aromatherapy oil diffusers
Aromatherapy oil diffusers can be made from different materials and diffuse the oil in many different mechanisms. The aroma stone diffuser is a bowlike object made of either polished metal or clay that can be used to diffuse aromatherapy oil. The stone oil diffuser uses no electricity or candles hence is a good way to diffuse aromatherapy oil in an environment where there is children or animals as it wont disturb them.
A reed aromatherapy oil diffuser is a type of diffuser that uses pieces of reeds that you dip in aroma therapy oil then you flip around for a few minutes to spread the fragrance. There is also the traditional method where you set up a bowl full of essential oil and set a candle below it. Heating the oil produces the vapor that is used for aromatherapy.
Ultrasonic aromatherapy diffuser
The ultrasonic aromatherapy diffuser is also another great way to do aromatherapy. It uses water vibrated at a very high frequency to produce a cool mist and releasing plenty of oxygen into the air. The diffuser has no risk of exploding or overheating the room as it uses ultrasonic waves, not a flame. Aromatherapy electric diffusers are god for providing a clean environment while as they don’t depreciate oxygen as candles do.
People’s choice for aromatherapy diffusers differ with individuals. Again factors like cost, kids and health complications may dictate the choice. All in all it is an important gadget for those who believe in aromatherapy.
