Diffusion is caused by gas, liquid and solids molecules that move freely and randomly from the high air to the low area. The safe way to diffuse essential oils is by cold diffusion, which means that no heat is needed. Essential oils can be cold diffused in a variety of ways.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Direct smelling method
Understand the principle of cold diffusion. Diffusion is by definition a free and random process. This means not using the heat, as the essential oils are no longer spontaneous. Although diffusing an essential oil with heat is very common, heating the essential oil reduces its efficiency. The heat will create a chemical reaction in the essential oil, alter the substance in the oil and cause allergies.
- Essential oils are flammable, so when heated they pose an unnecessary risk.
Let the scent diffuse directly from the essential oil bottle. The easiest method to diffuse the essential oil is to open the bottle cap. Then, wave your hand over the mouth of the bottle and inhale the scent of the breeze you just created.- You can pour oil into a bowl and smell it directly from there. This will help reduce the oil concentration when smelling directly from the bottle as the concentration decreases.
- Avoid sniffing the essential oil directly. Because essential oils are very concentrated and can cause strong reactions.
Absorb on cotton balls. You can also try soaking a cotton ball in an essential oil you like. Then, place a cotton ball near your nose, place it in a cup or somewhere in the room to diffuse the essential oils. Bring the cotton ball to your nose and mouth, then gently move to create a fragrance.- You can also use a cloth, towel or bandage.
Use warm water. To quickly diffuse essential oils, you can add a few drops of essential oil to warm water. Make sure the water is not warmer than your body temperature so that the oil doesn't change the texture.- To do this, place the essential oil in a bowl of warm water and place it in the center of the room. You can smell the essential oils directly from this bowl if you want a more intense aroma.
Apply essential oils to your skin. If you want direct access to the essential oil, you can apply it to your skin. Place a drop of the essential oil on your wrists, chest or temples. This will help the essential oils diffuse into the air around you.
- If you want, you can apply some essential oil to your palm and bring it close to your face to smell the fragrance.
Use a fan. The method to increase the diffusion rate of essential oils is to use a fan. Simply put a few drops of essential oil in a bowl of water and keep it close to the fan. You can also place the water bowl about 15cm to 30cm away from an emitting air source.
- On cold days, keep the bowl of water near the heater. However, don't get too close. The heater may not pose a hazard, but you should not overheat the essential oils.
Method 2 of 3: Use a cold diffuser
Use an essential oil diffuser made of earthenware or sandstone. These diffusers can be purchased from the store, often with a tiny pore-shaped texture. The essential oil diffuses into the rock before being released into the air. They can be placed or hung anywhere handy, such as a large crowd of people in, or at the door. When someone walks by, it creates an airflow that diffuses the fragrance. You can also place the essential oil diffuser in front of the fan.
- Add the essential oil once it has evaporated.
- You can also purchase specially designed neckbands to diffuse the fragrance.
Buy an electric scent diffuser. Electric scent diffuser fans are available in different sizes, shapes and styles. This fan has a cotton pad used to absorb essential oils. The essential oils can evaporate quickly, but the cotton pad won't change.
- Avoid using a hot essential oil diffuser unless you can set the temperature to match your body temperature.
Use a nebulizer or an air diffuser. These two types are like air humidifiers. They break the essential oil down into droplets for easy dispersion. These usually contain two basic parts: the engine base of the machine and the glass or plastic bowl to store the essential oils.
- Glass bowls are often preferred over plastic bowls because essential oils do not stick to glass as much as plastic. Be careful with glass bowls as they are quite expensive.
- Many companies, stores and online stores sell essential oil diffusers. See which one works for you and read customer reviews to find the best one.
Method 3 of 3: Use some essential oil combination recipes
Formula for anxiety reduction. There are many different essential oil recipes or combinations that you can use for different types of anxiety. You can apply any diffusion method you like. If you're nervous, apply an anxiety-relieving essential oil formula. Combine 2 drops of bergamot essential oil, 2 drops of sage essential oil and 1 drop of Frankincense incense.
- You can also combine 3 drops of lavender oil and 2 drops of sage oil.
Combining relaxation oils. If you want to relax, try some of these combinations. To stay calm, combine 1 drop of lavender essential oil and 2 drops of chamomile essential oil.

Advice
- Since you can be allergic to and become sensitive to any plant, you may also be allergic or sensitive to plant products like essential oils. These types of reactions are very rare, but because essential oils are often concentrated, they can cause them. Risk is reduced by reducing direct contact with concentrated essential oils.
- Essential oils are usually concentrated. If you feel that way, dilute the essential oils with 1 or 2 teaspoons of almond oil.
