Essential oil scent diffusers are a great way to fragrance rooms and provide some of the benefits of aromatherapy. There are many different things to use to diffuse essential oils and are easy to use. For best results, pay attention to pouring water not exceeding the maximum capacity of the compartment, use the correct amount of essential oils and remember to watch out when using a diffuser.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Use an electric essential oil diffuser
Place the device near the center of the room. An essential oil diffuser will spray water into a thin mist to diffuse essential oils around the room. You should place the device near the center of the room so that the essential oils can be spread evenly throughout the room. Place the machine on a flat surface to prevent spills or tipping while the machine is running.
- Place a towel under the essential oil diffuser to absorb water dripping while the machine is running. You do not need to do this if the towel is still dry after the first few times using the machine.
- You will also need a power outlet nearby if the machine needs to be plugged in.
Open the lid. Although each diffuser differs slightly, most have a lid above the water tank. You can try rotating, pressing, or even just lifting the top of the diffuser to open the water tank inside.- If you are unsure of how to open the lid, please review the instruction sheet for the product.
- Some diffusers have to open two covers to reach the water tank. One is usually decorative, and the other is used to retain moisture. If you open the top of the diffuser and see another cover instead of the water tank, always open the inner cover.
Fill a diffuser with room temperature water into a diffuser. Pour water at room temperature or slightly cooler than normal temperature into a small measuring cup or glass cup, then carefully pour it into the water tank of the machine. Check the line or mark inside the machine indicating the level of water that should be poured into the holder.- Instead of lines or markings, some diffusers may come with measuring cups that contain the correct amount of water that fits the water tank. Please pour water into the measuring cup and pour into the water tank in the machine.
- Room temperature is usually around 21 degrees Celsius. You can dip your finger in the water to test; The water should be slightly cool, but not cold.
Put 3-10 drops of essential oil in a diffuser. Open the bottle of your chosen essential oil and tilt the bottle directly into the water tank of the machine. You may need to gently shake it to get the essential oils to start dripping. Take about 6-7 drops of essential oil, then cover the vial.- You can combine many essential oils, but should only add up to 10 drops in a diffuser. Use only a few drops of each essential oil so the scent does not get too strong when you turn on the machine.
- Track the number of drops per use to see how many drops to fit. A small room can take 3-4 drops. Start with a small amount of the essential oil and gradually add more until you like it.
Cover the diffuser and turn it on. Replace the water tank cap and make sure it fits snugly. Plug in the power plug and turn on the button on the front to start working.
- Some essential oil diffusers have multiple function buttons or lights to adjust the machine's operation. You can read the instruction manual if you do not know how to turn on the machine, or to learn about other functions of the machine.
Method 2 of 4: Use a candle-based diffuser lamp
Place lights in a high-traffic area in the room. Essential oils will begin to give off scent when the candle is lit and the heat causes the water to start evaporating. You should place a diffuser lamp in a place where people move or there is a gentle breeze to help spread the fragrance. Place lights on a flat surface where many people pass by and in the center of the room for maximum effect.
- The essential oil diffuses better when placed in high traffic, but the risk of the lamp tipping over also increases. The first thing is to find a safe place to put the diffuser lamp.
Fill the water tank with water. Pour water into the water tank on top of the diffuser with a small cup or measuring bottle. Some lamps have bars or markers to indicate the amount of water to be poured into the compartment. If there is no line mark, fill it in half to prevent water from overflowing.
- Always read the manufacturer's instructions for advice for each product.
- Remember to pour water into the lamp before adding essential oils.
Add 2-4 drops of essential oil to the water. Open the bottle of the selected essential oil and tilt the vial over the water tank to slowly drain the essential oil. Put 2-3 drops of essential oil in the water and cover the vial.
- You can combine different essential oils for a more complex aroma, but don't use more than 4 drops of the essential oil in the diffuser lamp.
- The amount of oil needed will vary depending on the room size. Start with a few drops and work your way up until you are satisfied with the fragrance.
- Remember how many drops of essential oil you use each time to see how many drops to fit. For a small room, you probably only need 3-4 drops. Initially you should only use a small amount, then increase gradually until you have the desired scent.
Place the candle under the water tank and light it. Place a small candle like a tealight in the space below the water tank. Light the candles with a match or handle lighter and let the candle burn for 3-4 hours.
- Watch out for candles and make sure the candles don't go out.
- Blow out the candle when the water in the compartment has almost evaporated or you can no longer see the essential oils.
Method 3 of 4: Use an essential oil diffuser
Place the diffuser in the center of the room or house. An essential oil diffuser is the most passive way to diffuse essential oils indoors, so it takes movement for the fragrance to spread. Please leave this product in a high-traffic area, in the middle of the room or home for best results.
- Try placing a diffuser near the entrance to the room so you can enjoy the aroma of essential oils every time you step in.
Pour the essential oil into the jar. Most essential oil diffusers come with an oil bottle designed to match the concentration of the diffuser. Pour the essential oil into the bottle, being careful not to spill the oil.
- Unlike a lamp or essential oil diffuser, an essential oil diffuser does not allow you to change the scent easily. Choose an oil that you like for long-term use.
- The amount of oil poured into the bottle is not constant. Some people poured the whole bottle of oil, another poured little by little to keep the oil fresh.
Plug the essential oil stick into the bottle. Carefully insert a bundle of essential oil sticks into the vial. Separate the sticks in all directions to give the oil a more even aroma. The oil will seep into the sticks and gradually release the aroma of essential oils throughout the room.
- The more the number of sticks, the stronger the fragrance is. Small rooms may only need 2-3 sticks of essential oil.
- Oil can spill out when you insert the rod into a full oil bottle. Be careful when inserting the stick into the oil bottle, or leave the oil bottle above the sink when inserting the stick in case the oil spills.
Turn the tip of the stick to renew the oil and fragrance. After about a week, you should notice the oil's scent begins to fade. Lift the sticks out of the oil vial and turn it over so that the tip of the soaking stick is facing up. This will refresh the oil for a week or until you turn the tip again.
- Turn the tip of the stick on a paper towel or sink to catch the oil from falling.
Method 4 of 4: Choose essential oils
Use lemon essential oil for a refreshing fragrance. Lemon essential oil is one of the more popular essential oils in many products, including diffuse essential oil. Use a few drops of lemon essential oil to give the citrus scent to smell the house. Some studies have also shown lemon essential oil benefits in improving mood or reducing stress!
- You can combine the essential oils of lemon, peppermint and rosemary for an energetic fragrance.
Choose cinnamon oil for the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon oil has a sweeter and warmer smell than lemons, making it great for cold winter days. A few drops of cinnamon oil will leave your home with the scent of cinnamon rolls in the oven all day long.
- Try a combination of orange oil, ginger, and cinnamon for a great fall flavor for Thanksgiving Day.
Use lavender essential oil to create the soothing scent of the flowers. Lavender oil may be the most popular and popular, and for obvious reasons this is. Use a few drops of lavender oil to make your home always scent of flowers and help you fall asleep if used at night.
- Blend essential oils of lavender, grapefruit, lemon and mint for a passionate summer scent.
Use peppermint oil when you want to stay awake and alert. The pungent yet pleasant scent of peppermint will add a sense of freshness to your home, and may even keep you awake and focused. Use a few drops of peppermint oil to let the familiar mint scent spread throughout the home.
- Mix one part peppermint oil and one part eucalyptus oil to create a fragrance that clears your sinuses and makes breathing easier.
