There are many health benefits to using essential oils. Diffusing the oils brings them to a whole new level and will have a big impact on your family’s health and the health of your home environment.<\/p>\n

There are four types of diffusers.<\/p>\n

Types of Diffusers:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nebulizer – <\/b>There is no water or heat with this type of diffuser. You attach the essential oil bottle and then it disperses the oil into the air. This will give you a large concentration of oil. Since nebulizing diffusers work so powerfully they are usually louder than other types of diffusers. They also use the oils at a faster rate than any other types of diffusers so it will end up costing you more to use.<\/p>\n

Evaporative<\/b> <\/b> \u2013<\/b>  <\/b>Evaporative diffusers are basic. The oil sits on a pad or filter and a fan blows air through and vaporizes the oil that is on the pad. When an essential oil evaporates, some of the lighter components of the oil evaporate faster than the heavier components. Instead of getting the whole oil all at once, you get a higher percentage of the lighter components in the beginning  and a higher percentage of the heavier components towards the end. This can cause diminished therapeutic properties. These are not ideal to use in a big room, it’s more for personal space like in your car or in a necklace. I have one that I plug in to an outlet and use in the bathroom. It is used solely for scent purposes.<\/p>\n

Heat <\/b> \u2013 <\/b>This diffuser is only good for making your home smell good. Heat will alter the chemistry of the oils and they will no longer have their therapeutic properties.<\/p>\n

Ultrasonic <\/b> \u2013<\/b> <\/b> This diffuser uses ultrasonic vibrations to diffuse the oil instead of heat. The oils are diluted down since water is used. The therapeutic properties of the oils stay in tact. Due to the water also being dispersed it acts as a humidifier which is great if you are using it at night to help you sleep.<\/p>\n

I have two Ultrasonic diffusers and absolutely love them! I have Green Air,<\/a><\/strong> Pure Enrichment<\/a>, and Joly Joy<\/a><\/strong> You can purchase these from Amazon. Below is a picture of the Joly Joy Ceramic Diffuser. It’s so pretty!<\/p>\n
