What is it, how does it work and why use an aromatic diffuser?

Surely, you would like to feel the sensation of arriving at a place and as soon as you enter to smell your favorite fragrance, right? Having a specific scent will make you feel "at home" and there is nothing more comforting than this and an aromatic diffuser will help you generate this experience.

But in the diverse and fun world of smells, not everything goes. It is essential to know what scent to use and, most importantly, how and where to implant your scent diffuser so that the result is the desired one.

Aromatic diffuser: what is it exactly?

It is a simple and small device, around the size of about 12-15 cm, which is capable of vibrating particles of essential oils to dispense the aroma of your choice throughout the room in which it is located.

Not all aromatic diffusers are the same, nor do they have the same characteristics and shapes. So take note of all the types of automatic diffusers that exist in the aromatherapy market.

Types of the aromatic diffuser

There are many shapes, in fact, each time different shapes come onto the market that have nothing to do with the first air fresheners that went on sale years ago: round, square, in the shape of bars, in glass bottles ... endless choices.

But in general, we can make two main groups of types:

1. Electric or non - electric: The electric diffusers are connected to the grid or also possible by connecting the battery operation and pure oils expand as microparticles. In addition, this type of aromatic diffuser also has accessories: lights, remote control, music for relaxation ...

On the other hand, in the market, we can find others that do not need electricity for their correct operation. This is the case of aromatic diffusers for candles or incenses.

2. With or without water: Essential oils can also be mixed with water. This causes a kind of vaporized mist to be generated. Or quite the opposite, just evaporate the pure essential oil.

How do scent vaporizers work?

 Depending on the type of appliance you use, it will have one way of working or another. Following the two distinctions above, let's see how they work:

1. Electric with water: They are usually put into operation through ultrasound at the bottom of the device. In that base, you can apply a small amount of water and the essential oil that you want to use at that time. They contain a membrane which vibrates and diffuses its odors.

eye! It is important to regulate the amounts of water and essential oils to find the desired aroma. For this, nothing better than consulting with experts on the subject.

2. Electric without water: Its operation is similar to that of aquatic tanks, that is, by means of a pumping system. This type of electric diffuser, having no water with which to mix the oil, its diffusion is that of pure but vaporized oil.

3. Non-electric: The operation of these diffusers is through burning, using candles or charcoal tablets. In these cases, special care must be taken with the flames.
