You can upgrade your self-care with minimal effort and even can improve the decor of your house.
Although some essential oil diffusers can be pretty powerful so you need to proceed with care.
Oil Diffuser
If we talk in a layman's language the oil diffuser just sprays a little aroma or balance after a scheduled time in your space. Otherwise, it is an appliance that breaks down the essential oils into smaller molecules and disperses them in the air for spearing calmness. Different essential oils work in different manners. For instance, lavender is usually used to support sleep. The diffuser makes the essential oil easy to breathe by breaking its concentration.
The aroma diffusers come in four types:-
You can go for a diffuser depending upon the intensity and the kind of space you have.
- Nebulizing Diffusers: Pressurized air is used in these diffusers to diffuse a mist of oil. There is a vacuum that pulls oil to the surface of a distribution tube. This causes a burst of aroma into the air. These diffusers work without water or heat and are low-maintenance plastic-free diffusers.
- Ultrasonic or Humidifying Diffusers: This diffuser produces ultrasonic vibrations that break up oil molecules to create a fine mist. Dilute the essential oil by mixing water in it so that the ultrasonic frequencies can release the oil into a mist. They even work great to add moisture in the air during the seasons that have dry air. People prefer it in the cold season. The parts of the ultrasonic aroma diffuser are plastic and require cleaning as oils can be corrosive to plastic.
- Evaporative Diffusers: This diffuser has a fan in it which helps in the process of turning oil into gas. So the oil evaporates in the air. However, the evaporation of oil can make the oil lose its potency. It is a great occasional aromatic sensation and works quickly.
- Heat or Electric Diffusers: Like the above electric diffuser uses a fan this diffuser uses heat to convert the oil into gas. Again the heat may lessen the potency of the oil and change its chemical properties, or it may even make it more intense depending on the properties of the oil. These diffusers work silently and are of different types like candle diffusers, electric heat diffusers, and lamp ring diffusers.
Safety Measures
These diffusers have a lot of benefits but there are some things you need to take care of. Some diffusers work using water and these diffusers can next to some bacteria in it. If that water is sitting idle for some days then that water can make you sick the next time you turn on that diffuser. Infants and pregnant women can be more sensitive so they should avoid using an aroma oil diffuser at all. If any of them is allergic to an essential oil then they can become sick when it evaporates. It can cause things like headaches, nausea, and rashes.
The Right Way to Use It
If you install a diffuser at your home or your workspace then it may give you the feeling of sitting in a spa. If you are not allergic to essential oils and you do not notice any reaction for a short period then you can try sleeping overnight with exposure to essential oil.
On a parallel note, if you have health concerns then you should consult your physician before using any oil diffuser.
A headache, sore throat, or shortness of breath, are signs that the diffuser does not suit you.
Cleaning Your Diffuser
The cleaning regimens of diffusers depend upon the type of electric oil diffuser you are using. It is not like you have to clean it every time you use it. You may even like the aroma of the previous residue left from earlier use.
Unplug everything before you start cleaning. Now spill out the water and wipe clean the surface. You can use a damp cloth or a natural soap. If it has a mister, then use an alcohol-dipped Q-Tip. In the end, ensure to rinse and dry all the parts of the equipment including the equipment.
