Why diffuse essential oils?

Our sense of smell is one of our most powerful senses. Your body contains over 1,000 receptors for smell—more receptors than for any other sense.

By putting essential oils directly into the air we breathe, we can influence the feeling of our environment, and, more powerfully, our own emotions.

Diffusing is an easy, convenient, and mess-free way to enjoy the aromatic benefits of essential oils.

• Want to fill your home with the aroma of essential oils?
• Want to fill your workspace with uplifting, energizing feelings?
• Want to create a calm environment to help kids fall asleep?

Keep reading to learn everything you’ll want to know before buying a doTERRA essential oil diffuser.

What are the different types of diffusers?

Each diffuser has its own unique method for getting essential oils into the air so you can utilize their therapeutic benefits.

Nebulizing Diffuser

A nebulizing diffuser breaks down the essential oil into tiny particles through the use of a high velocity, pressurized air stream and jet nozzle.

When the oil is released from the diffuser, it diffuses the entire oil at once instead of in stages. It goes into the air in a fine mist.

• Pros: No water. No heat.
• Cons: Most expensive. Oil goes fast. Some models are noisy

Ultrasonic Diffuser

This popular type of diffuser uses water and electronic frequencies to create a fine mist from the essential oil and water.

Ultrasonic vibrations are created by a small disk under the surface of the water which causes the essential oil to break up into tiny micro particles.

• Pros: Use small amount of essential oil. No heat. Little noise
• Cons: Only a small fraction of the mist is essential oil

Heat Diffuser

Heat diffusers use heat elements to help the essential oil gradually evaporate into the air. Sometimes heat essential oil diffusers use the oil mixed with water.

• Pros: No Noise.
• Cons: Heat lessens or changes entirely the therapeutic benefit of the oil.

Evaporative Diffuser

Evaporative diffusion uses air flow to spread the scent of the essential oils into the area

A fan blows air through a filter, such as a tissue or a pad that has essential oils dropped onto it.

• Pros: Quiet.
• Cons: Less therapeutic because the lighter essential oil components evaporate first, while the heavier components evaporate last.
