The shape and look of a diffuser may be important, but the way it works will help you to determine what you need. There are many types of diffusers from which to choose. Choose one that meets the needs of your household and lifestyle. The various types of diffusers are listed below with a brief description.
A nebulizing diffuser blows droplets of the essential oil through a chamber. The oil is broken into microscopic particles that stay in the air for several hours. The process is similar to that of a respiratory breathing treatment.
An Ultrasonic diffuser mixes water and essential oil droplets. This mix is released it into the air as a cool mist. Think of a cool mist humidifier that is used to relieve dry air conditions in the winter.
Fan diffusers blow droplets of essential oil into the air. This is similar to the process used by some car air fresheners. The liquid is contained in a small container that is pinned to the air vent of your choice. When air blows through, the aroma or fragrance fills the car. The speed of the fan determines the strength of the aroma.
Heating diffusers use a candle or heating element to heat the essential oil. This causes it to evaporate into the air.
