Essential Oil Diffusers

Nebulizing Diffuser

Even with all the ultrasonic diffusers and other new inventions, nebulizing diffusers are still the best therapeutic diffuser on the market.   A nebulizer is the only kind of diffuser that atomizes essential oil into micro fine droplets which are then sprayed into the atmosphere. This action atomizes and ionizes all molecules of the essential oil, unlike heat diffusers which change the oil and leave some aspects behind.  This insures that the maximum therapeutic benefits are available for inhalation.

This standard diffuser covers up to 900 square feet.  It’s compact size fits in many convenient locations.  You will only need to run this diffuser for 5 or 10 minutes to saturate a standard size room with a therapeutic dose of essential oil.  Sound level: 57 dB.  Measures 5×3x7 inches tall. Standard 110 VAC operation.

Price:  $64.99

Soapstone Tea Light Candle Diffuser

A carved soapstone diffuser from India, very reasonably priced.  The colors and designs vary a little, and are rustic and handmade, with imperfections.  To use, fill the bowl with water and a few drops of essential oil, and light a tea light candle under the bowl.  It is very easy to use and offers the ambiance of candlelight too.

The diffuser should not be left unattended, as the bowl may need to be refilled before the tea light is consumed.  I enjoy using this diffuser when I am relaxing before going to sleep at night, in the bathroom, and on my desk when I am working.  It will quickly clear stagnant energy and create comfort, allowing the essence of the oils I have chosen to change the immediate environment.  It is also useable even where electricity is unavailable.  Size:  4” tall.

Price:  $18.50
