What You Need to Know About Using Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffusers

It seems like everyone is talking about the benefits of using essential oil diffusers these days, from top Instagram influencers to celebrity A-listers. If you’re wondering what all the hype is about, don’t worry. Many people are only now discovering for themselves how using an ultrasonic essential oil diffuser in their home can promote a more comfortable, mood-lifting environment with ease. Here’s everything you need to know to get started, with some helpful advice from Scent Better.

The use of essential oil diffusers has its origins in the healing practice known as aromatherapy. This technique, used by trained professionals, is believed to provide relief for many common ailments, and is known to have some powerful effects on one’s mental and emotional well-being. Here are some of the most common uses for natural herbal aromas that can help you get started:

• For a better night’s rest: lavender, vetiver or roman chamomile
• For improved focus:cedar, rosemary, peppermint
• For pain relief:eucalyptus, marjoram, clary sage
• For cleaner air:chamomile, peppermint, tea tree oil
• For a calmer state of mind:valerian, lavender, jasmine

Of course, even though something is ‘natural’ you still need to take care. As the use of essential oils has exploded in recent years, so has the amount of potentially misleading information on social media and websites across the internet. While it is great that more people than ever are benefiting from the use of aromatherapy and scenting, it is important to know how to use aromas both safely and effectively.

First, the type of fragrance you use can make a huge difference. Synthetic perfumes and other scents don’t have the same benefits when it comes to aromatherapy that 100 percent pure and organic essential oils provide. That’s why it is so important to choose oils and aroma blends that are made only from all-natural ingredients, without the use of fillers or other unneeded additives.

Because pure essential oils are extremely concentrated herbal extracts, they should never be used internally, and topical (on the skin) use is usually discouraged. Special care is required when handling them around children or pets, or if you are pregnant. That said, there are many safe ways to use oils in just about every environment.

There are several options for using essential oils, or products made using these oils, in the home.

While there is nothing wrong with using scented candles to unwind, one of the safest and most common ways that aromatherapy is used these days is with a diffuser. These scenting machines work by transforming the base oil into tiny particles that are then dispersed through the air so that they can fill a room, or any other space, with the desired aroma.

Ultrasonic diffusers are an especially safe and popular choice for in-home use. These devices work by sending electronic frequencies through water that vibrate and vaporize the oil. The result is an aromatic mist that has the double benefit of acting as a small humidifier. The negative ions that are produced can help to improve air quality and help you breathe more easily, especially during cold and flu season.

Unlike some other forms of diffusion, this method does not require the use of any heat. This helps to keep the oils in a purer state and is also potentially a safer means of dispersing scent. These diffusers also require very little oil for each use, making them a more cost-effective solution for many families.
