Aromatherepy Diffusers


Looking at these today.

TYPES OF DIFFUSERS
  1. Ultrasonic
  2. Nebulizing
  3. Evaporative
  4. Heat
CONSIDERATIONS
  • Essential oil consumption
  • Ongoing maintenance issues--for example, cleaning, replacement parts
  • Initial cost
  • Performance (quality of output)
  • Length of operation (for example, all night vs several hours)
Note: several warnings that citrus essential oils corrode the ultrasonic components.  

OTHER
UPDATE:

I decided I did not need another electronic device to maintain. We chose to start with a simple soapstone model we purchased from a local grocery store. Tea light in the bottom, oil and water mix on the top, it lasts for several hours. Heat, so less therapeutic benefits, if you desire that...we just want it to smell nicer.
