Choosing the Right Diffuser
To begin your aromatherapy experience, you’ll need to choose a suitable diffuser. Below, we break down the most common types of diffusers available:
Ultrasonic Diffusers
These use water and ultrasonic vibrations to disperse a fine mist of essential oil and water into the air. They’re cost-effective, easy to use, and also serve as a humidifier.
Nebulizing Diffusers
Nebulizing diffusers don’t require water; instead, they use pressurized air to atomize essential oils into tiny particles, creating a more concentrated and powerful aroma. However, they tend to be more expensive and may use essential oils more quickly.
Evaporative Diffusers
Ideal for small spaces, evaporative diffusers use a fan to blow air through a filter or pad that contains essential oils. The oil then evaporates and disperses into the air. This option is generally cheaper, but the aroma may not be as strong.
Heat Diffusers
These utilize heat (either from a candle or electricity) to warm essential oils, releasing their scent into the air. Heat diffusers are affordable but may not provide the most potent aroma as heat can alter the oil’s chemical structure.
Preparing Your Diffuser
Now that you’ve chosen your diffuser, it’s time to prepare it for use. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance for assembly, and ensure it’s placed on a stable surface and near a power outlet if needed.
Selecting and Blending Essential Oils
With your diffuser ready to go, you can now select your essential oils. Consider your goals for the aromatherapy session – do you wish to improve sleep? Focus? Or perhaps relieve stress? Oshu Oils offers expertly blended formulations tailored to specific needs to help you achieve your desired effect.
If you prefer to create your blend, research the qualities and benefits of individual essential oils and combine a few drops of each in a small glass container. Remember that oils are potent, so a little goes a long way.
Diluting and Loading Essential Oils
Depending on the diffuser type, you may need to dilute your oils with water or a carrier oil before use. For ultrasonic diffusers, add water to the fill line, then add the desired amount of essential oil – generally 3-6 drops per 100mL water. For nebulizing, evaporative, and heat diffusers, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Operating Your Diffuser
With your oils loaded, it’s time to turn on your diffuser and enjoy the aroma. All diffusers vary in operation – some have timers or multiple mist settings – so consult the manual and set it to your preferences.
How To Put Essential Oils In A Diffuser Example:
Imagine this scenario: you come home after a long day at work, and all you want to do is unwind. You reach for your ultrasonic diffuser and Oshu Oils’ Relaxation Blend, which contains lavender, bergamot, and ylang-ylang to promote tranquility. You fill the diffuser with water, add 5 drops of the Relaxation Blend, and turn it on.
