There are many benefits to an aromatherapy diffuser. Their main goal is to provide your home or office with a pleasant, refreshing, and relaxing scent. Some aromatherapy diffusers can provide scents that are soothing and neutralize any harmful allergens for those living and visiting your home. For example, if you are a pet owner, it may be beneficial to place an aromatherapy diffuser in a room that the pet sleeps in or spends the majority of their time in. By doing this, the diffuser can neutralize the majority of pet dander, making it more tolerable to those who are sensitive or have allergies.
Types of Aromatherapy Diffusers
There are variable types of aromatherapy diffusers in the market today. The first type is candles; while being a popular method, it is not plausible for all situations as it releases smoke into the air along with the scent of the candle. There is also the added risk of fire with any lit material. Another product is known as a reed diffuser. This makes use of sticks or reeds placed into a bottle filled with the aromatherapy oil. This aromatherapy diffuser works by capillary action as the reeds absorb the oil from the base of the bottle and slowly release it into the air through wicking. While having the ability to last the longest of all the aromatherapy diffusers, it is not as effective in covering larger areas.
The most popular type of aromatherapy diffuser is the electric aromatherapy diffuser. By plugging the diffuser into a wall socket, its internal fan blows a stream of room air across a pad or column of oil in order to dispense the scent into the room. There are also battery operated aromatherapy diffusers that apply the same method in dispensing the scent. The effectiveness of these products is that they can spread the aroma through an entire room, not just localized around the diffuser. The drawback of this type of diffuser is that the oil container must be replaced frequently because the fan will dry out the pad.

A more expensive but effective aromatherapy diffuser is the nebulizer. This a more expensive option because it uses more sophisticated technology to diffuse the oil scents into the air. The nebulizer pumps air into the oil, eventually creating a gas mixture that can be diffused into the air. This approach is a more efficient use of oil because it does not evaporate as quickly.
Whichever diffuser you choose, know that it will provide you with hours of relaxing and appetizing scents!
