When I purchased my first diffuser; I was skeptical. I was raised on incense, candles, and air fresheners. I was brainwashed into thinking that with those 3 choices would be just as good, but diffusers have altered my life completely! I have fallen in love with the concept, and it is now a part of my daily routine!
The biggest thing that sets diffusers apart from incense, candles, and air fresheners, is the fact that it works off of essential oils. Depending on where you go, essential oils and can be excellent or mediocre! It’s essential to stay away from oils that have additives or are just scented. I only use pure essential oils in my diffuser.
There are 3 types of diffusers:
Heat diffusers in my opinion are the most effective diffuser to use. The heat warms up the liquid and causes the oil to become more potent when the scent is released in the air. The scent of the oil doesn’t overwhelm you. That is not what I meant by potent. It simply fills the room with an aroma with the same power of a candle or incense would.
Evaporative diffusers are mainly used in offices because of their light scent, and it’s not as noticeable in smell like candles or incense. To me, this diffuser is used more for room decorative purposes than actual therapeutic use.
Ultrasonic diffusers are more innovative and modern. They get the job done, but I would rank them last out of the 3. Diffusers don’t just spice up the scent in the room, but it also provides remarkable health benefits to you and your home. Certain natural oils improve your mood, sleep, boost your immune system, and many other things. To combat stress, I use chamomile, rose, and lavender oil. To fight sickness, I use lemon and tea tree oils to boost my immune system (I haven’t been sick in 3 years). To ward of depression, I use orange, peppermint, and jasmine oils to give me a pick me up when I’m feeling down. I am no way downing candles or incense! They are lovely for novelty purposes and set the mood for intimate dates and are great to use in everyday life. I use both for those reasons! Diffusers just add a phenomenal health and mood boost to my life. I have not been ill and have had more peaceful days since using my diffuser. Adding this fun home improvement toy to your daily life will improve your mental and physical health tremendously!
