Essential oils are amazing for reducing stress and improving sleep or focus. Releasing them into the air can be incredibly beneficial for your mood. This is called aromatherapy, using fragranced oils to boost your emotional and physical wellbeing. Diffusers spread essential oils into the air. The result is a transformation of your space with different scents. But how do diffusers work? There are many different types of diffusers, and each works in a slightly different way. We’ll discuss their ins and outs, so you can fully embrace the magic of aromatherapy. Types of diffusers Let's explore the enchanting world of diffusers and find your perfect match. There are a few different types. Heat diffusers Heat diffusers gently warm oils to release a subtle, consistent aroma that’s perfect for relaxation. Nebulising diffusers This kind of diffuser uses a small pump to create a vacuum. The vacuum draws the essential oils up into a glass chamber. A high frequency vibration then disperses the oils into the air. Ultrasonic diffusers Essential oils are dropped into a small water tank and vibrations create waves at ultrasonic frequency. This spreads the essential oil molecules through the air. Evaporative diffusers This kind of diffuser works through evaporation, as its name suggests. They typically use a pad, filter or reeds to spread the essential oils. How do reed diffusers work? Reed diffusers are the classic choice when it comes to home fragrance. They’re a beautifully simple way to add a touch of luxury to your space and boost your wellbeing. A blend of essential oils is poured into a small container. A carrier oil, like fractionated coconut oil or sweet almond oil should go in too. Natural reeds follow, typically made from rattan. The reeds begin to absorb the oils and slowly release it into the air. The process by which reed diffusers work is called capillary action. It happens naturally, without the need for electricity or heat. This makes reed diffusers a low-maintenance and eco-friendly choice. The carrier oil is really important. It dilutes the concentrated essential oils, ensuring a safe and steady release of fragrance. The reeds act as natural wicks, drawing up the oil mixture before diffusing it. Benefits of diffusing essential oils The benefits don’t stop at gorgeous fragrance. Diffusing essential oils is great for your general wellbeing. Tailor the fragrance to suit your needs at any moment in time. Improve your sleep Struggling to drop off? Tossing and turning throughout the night? Diffusing certain essential oils can help you slip off into a deep and peaceful sleep. Feel calm and content If you’re feeling stressed, pop a few drops of essential oil into your reed diffuser. The gentle fragrance will calm your nervous system and help you feel more relaxed. Focus Maybe you’re working to a strict deadline. Certain blends will transform your space into the perfect working environment. You’ll be flying through those work tasks in no time.
