How to Use Aromatherapy Diffusers as Room Fresheners

The effects of an aromatherapy treatment are seen on the mind and body. The purpose of aromatherapy diffusers is to diffuse the scent of essential oils in the room. There is a wide range of aromatherapy diffuser devices that you can use for achieving the desired effect, and they range from the mundane and simple to the highly sophisticated.

For releasing a distinct fragrance of oil, you would require an aromatherapy diffuser. Easily available in the market today, there are a variety of different types of aromatherapy diffusers. Following are some of the common types:

Lamp Rings

The lamp ring is one of the most favorable choices for aromatherapy diffuser. Made out of terracotta, these lamp rings are directly positioned on the lamp bulb. When an essential oil is positioned in the lamp ring, heat released by the lighting of the bulb dispenses the smell into the air.

Candles

Another best-selling aromatherapy diffuser is the candle. Readymade candles that are already made with various essential oils are available at low cost prices in the market. Unscented candles are also used as aromatherapy diffusers. All you have to do is simply light the candle for about 10 minutes and then put some drops of oil onto the melted wax. These candles should be used with utmost care and use them only in an airy vacuum.

Reed Aromatherapy Diffuser

Among the rarely used aromatherapy diffuser, Reeds are more efficient and long lasting. To create a reed diffuser, you would need to pour the essential oil into a bottle, and then add a reed at the rim of the bottle. Reeds are almost weightless, and hence will take some time to moisten and soak up the oil. The slow absorption of oil will release the scent into the air. Aroma released through a reed diffuser can last for months.

Nebulizer

Nebulizers are devices that pump air at constant pressure. These devices use this principle to break down essential oils and turn them into vapor. Usually, these devices give the best therapeutic effect as the oils are broken down, in comparison to other types of aromatherapy diffusers

Fan Diffuser

Electrical fan diffusers are one of the most favored diffusers in the market in recent times. These fan diffusers blow cold air through a pad, which is saturated in essential oils. Usually, the diffusers are placed into an outlet of an electrical wall However some models are battery powered, which makes them more portable.

Everyone favors homemade diffusers. There are numerous ways of putting to use what you already have in the house, to make a homemade diffuser.

Take a deep glass bowl and boil some water and pour it in the bowl only half way. Add about ten drops of the desired essential oil into the water. Place the bowl in the preferred room, heat of the water causes the oil to evaporate and spread the essence of the oil into the room.

Candles are a favorite option among many to be used as homemade aromatherapy diffusers. All you would have to do is place a candle in a jar. Light the candle and let it burn for about half hour or till the wax melts in the jar; thereafter add the desired essential oil. The heat would disperse the oil into the air just like it did in case of water. Remember that essential oils are flammable so you should make sure you use it with caution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, December 4, 2009

This review is from: Car Diffuser Aromatherapy 1 Count (Kitchen)
This aromatherapy car diffuser is very simple to use. You put a few drops of any essential oil on a small pad that you insert into the front of the diffuser, plug it into your car lighter and that's it. The fragrance is noticeable within a minute or two depending on how many oil drops you use. Usually between three and five drops is enough for most cars. I have tried peppermint oil and it makes the air feel cool to breathe and does help keep you alert. Any pure oil will work, but mint or citrus oils (like grapefruit or sweet orange) have worked best for me in my car. The pads seem to last a long time and it's best to use one pad for each different fragrance you use. The diffuser comes with five pads. Additional refill pads can be purchased seperately (very inexpensive). I prefer this diffuser to typical car air freshners that have a strong artificial or overly perfumy smell. 5 stars!

This works but does not produce a long lasting scent. You have to reapply essential oil often to get the smell in your car. Would not recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing alternative to chemical air fresheners, December 1, 2009

This review is from: Aura Cacia Aromatherapy Room Diffuser (Health and Beauty)
I'm very happy with how well this diffuser works. It comes with 5 pads that you put drops of pure essential oils on and place inside the unit. You plug the unit into an outlet and will notice the fragrance within about five or ten minutes. The oils are not included, but any pure essential oils will work. (Lavender, peppermint, orange, whatever you like...) The diffuser is nice to keep in any room or bathroom to have beautiful, natural scents rather than the chemical based scents you get from the typical plug-ins. The pads seems to last a long time and you should use different pads for different scents of oils. They also sell refill pads. On the box, they list several combinations of oils for relaxation, energizing or air freshening. If you like experimenting with aromatherapy scents, this is a great product to have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Aromatherapy air freshener, February 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Aura Cacia Aromatherapy Room Diffuser (Health and Beauty)
This works pretty well in the small bathroom that I put it in, I've tried cinnamon and orange essential oils. The orange didn't last long, and I hoped the cinnamon would last longer. The smell is nice, but I don't think this would be a noticeable smell in a larger room. I wish the smell was stronger and lasted longer, but it is still nice to have an all natural air freshener, I dislike most of the smells of the chemical air-fresheners sold in stores.

Aromatherapy Massage Can Reduce Sickness and Pain.

For many centuries, lots of people have praised the virtues of essential oils as having healing properties, and for two hundred years or more the benefit of having a aromatherapy massage as been spread, mostly by word of mouth. Recent research has however confirmed that there are significant benefits.

A study conducted recently in London by the Royal Free and University College Medical School, Royal Free Campus used independent reviewers to analyze the results of using an aromatherapy treatment on over 1,300 reference studies. Their conclusions indicate that short-term benefits are obtained on psychological well being, supporting the positive effects on anxiety.

They found aromatherapy massage reduced sickness and pain and an additional study is being conducted to establish if aromatherapy enhances the effects of massage performed with the essential oils.

Different types of oils used in a aromatherapy treatment:

Essential oils used in aromatherapy are obtained by the distillation process extracting them for plants, flowers, herbs and woods. These are the oils that are part of the plants’ biological make up as well as giving them their individual scent. It has taken centuries of basic trial and error to determine which oils are best for treating which mood or pain but those centuries of research are benefiting people today.

For instance:

  • A blend of black pepper, rosemary, lavender, marjoram and fir is utilized in a aromatherapy treatment for aches and pains.
  • Tendonitis can be massaged with a blend of rosemary, lavender and peppermint.
  • Sunburn relief can be achieved by using lavender, chamomile, eucalyptus and peppermint.

While many benefit from the use of oils in simply inhaling the fragrances, in aromatherapy it is believed that massaging them into the skin allows the benefits to be realized quicker. Basic massage therapy has been around a long time for relaxation and stimulation; however it’s been found that by incorporating essential oils into a massage enhance the benefits.

The oils are absorbed rapidly into the skin and an aromatherapy massage combines the benefits of therapeutic massage with the healing aspects and scents of the oils.

For example:

Therapy involving breathing in the aroma of black pepper, thyme, carrot seed, sage and lemon will help with poor circulation, but a massage using these same essential oils will not only increase the benefit of circulation enhancement, but will also provide relaxation through the aromatherapy treatment.

For lack of sleep during pregnancy it’s suggested a light aromatherapy massage with Roman chamomile and lavender. For infants with stomach problems, try a blend of dill and geranium.
