5 FAQs About Diffusing Essential Oils

1. How many drops to put in the diffuser?

A:This depends on the type and size of the diffuser. If you use an ultrasonic diffuser, it depends on the water tank capacity.

2. What is the difference between an ultrasonic diffuser and a nebulizer diffuser?

A:An ultrasonic diffuser requires a small amount of water and a few drops of essential oil. This diffuser uses ultrasonic frequencies to vibrate a small disc, releasing the oil in the water into the air through mist.
A nebulizer diffuser uses a large amount of essential oil and diffuses it in a short period of time. No water is used. A nebulizer atomizes the essential oil through an air pump and releases the oil into the air in tiny droplets.

3. Why can't I smell the scent of essential oils after a while?

A:If your diffuser is cleaned regularly and there is no underlying cause for the loss of smell, it may be due to sensory adaptation.
Our brain adapts and recognizes a constant aroma, and then stops recognizing it.Therefore, we perceive that the smell is disappearing, allowing us to adapt to the environment and perceive new smells. If you leave the house (or room) and come back, you should be able to smell the aroma again.

4. Can I diffuse for a long time?

It is important to diffuse in a large, well-ventilated space. It is recommended to diffuse for short periods of time for maximum effect.
"The diffusion is low, so the essential oils are barely noticeable, and it is OK to diffuse anywhere and for any length of time."

5. How often should I clean my diffuser?

A:It is recommended to clean your diffuser weekly. If you use thicker essential oils such as vetiver, patchouli, rose, sandalwood, etc., you may need to clean it more frequently.
