Aromatherapy Diffusers

The working principle behind the efficiency of aromatherapy diffusers lies in the dispersion of essential oil molecules in the air. Blended like this in the room atmosphere, the wonderful aromas are breathed in thus contributing to one's good health. Several designs of aromatherapy diffusers have been created but the heat-based and the electric ones are so far the most popular. Those relying on electricity incorporate a small fan for the dispersion of fragrances whereas those that use the properties of hot water are efficient as long as there is plenty of warm liquid in the vessel. Regardless of the model, aromatherapy diffusers remain highly efficient and popular.

Atomizers are other great aromatherapy diffusers that make use of a specialized glass and some form of pumping devices so as to spread small essential oils into the air. Atomizers create a fine mist in a room, and they represent a great alternative to the heated surfaces traditionally used for the slow dispersion of essential oils. This modern type of aromatherapy diffusers can be presently used in very small spaces like the car for instance where there is no way one could go for shells and bowls. However, there are some “disadvantages” we should refer too that are often related to the use of aromatherapy diffusers.

With the extensive use of aromatherapy diffusers one can no longer feel the smell in the house because the senses get used to it. This does not imply that the properties of the essential oils stop functioning for you, the dispersed molecules remain in the air and they are breathed in all the time. Make sure that you do not purchase aromatherapy diffusers that rely on chemical fragrances and not on essential oils; keep in mind the fact that the whole purpose of aromatherapy is to heal and bring a state of well being by means of natural extracts. It is a mistake to think that the commercial chemical fresheners are designed for aromatherapy purposes even if they are advertised as such.

An overdoing of the essential oils could lead to a range of adverse reactions that are frequently related to the incorrect use of aromatherapy diffusers. Thus, if you experience nausea, vomiting, an ill feeling or headache while breathing a certain essential oil, open the windows and breathe some fresh air. The explanation for such an inconvenience comes from the too high amount of oil used in the aromatherapy diffusers that sends a high concentration of fragrant substances in the air.
