Electric Fan Diffuser - This method of diffusion uses a fan to blow the essential oils into the air. The essential oils are usually placed on a tray or pad within the unit and then plugged in to a power supply to allow the fan to blow the scent into the air. Traveling? No electrical outlet readily available? Try the battery operated aromatherapy fan diffuser!
Candle Diffusers - A candle aromatherapy diffuser, like the one pictured here, uses a ceramic or metal bowl to hold the essential oil while a tea light or some other type of candle is used to gently heat the aromatherapy oil. The heat causes the oil to slowly evaporate into the air.
Nebulizers - A nebulizing aromatherapy oil diffuser is a device that breaks down essential oils into smaller molecules before dispersing them into the air. These smaller molecules are more easily absorbed by the lungs creating a greater therapeutic benefit than the other diffusion methods. A nebulizer is made up of a base (usually plastic) that contains the motor, and a glass piece that holds the oils.
Simple Tissue Diffusion - Talk about a cheap aromatherapy oil diffuser... this would be it! This is an easy method for diffusing essential oils. Simply pour 3 to 4 drops of an essential oil onto a tissue and place the tissue near you. As movement occurs throughout the room, the fragrance is slowly and lightly dispersed.
Reed Diffuser – Reed diffusers are becoming more popular because they are asthetically pleasing. In reed diffusion, essential oil is poured into a bottle; reeds, which look like little sticks, are then inserted into the top of the bottle(as seen in the picture). The reeds then become moist, absorbing the essential oils and emitting scent throughout your room. Occasionally turning the reeds refreshes the scent. The scent from a reed diffuser can last for several months.
Steam Aromatherapy Diffuser - The steam method quickly diffuses oil into a room. Bring 2 cups of water to a piping hot boil. Pour the water into a bowl and add 8-10 drops of essential oil to the water. The steam will heat the oil and cause it to evaporate quickly into the room.
Lamp Rings - Lamp rings are made of terra cotta and sits directly onto a light bulb. The rings have a grooved lip that holds the essential oil. The heat from the light bulb heats the essential oil and it’s gently diffused into the room.
