I often see people recommending bringing a small diffuser to your desk at work, but I find this practice inconsiderate of coworkers who may have allergies or sensitivities, or may simply not enjoy the smell or effect of your essential oils. This can be helpful if you’re not a huge fan of the scent of certain oils, or if you’re in a public space. Personal diffusers are great for taking on-the-go and for not filling a whole room with vapor.
Sometimes these stones are made as jewelry, and there are other types of aromatic pendant too. You can put a few drops of essential oil on a cotton ball and then inhale from the cotton ball, you can use a reed diffuser set, or you can simply put a few drops of essential oil on an aromastone (often a porous lava stone or clay). Simple evaporation is just that: allowing the essential oil to ‘passively’ evaporate (ie with no heat or other mechanism) into the air. There are several different types of diffusion: simple evaporation, steam, ultrasonic diffusion, atomization, and heat. Diffusion is most often used for mood modulation such as energizing or reducing anxiety, and it can also be used to directly address respiratory issues. The bloodstream then carries these molecules to the rest of your body where they can interact with cells and other molecules in your body to cause an effect. When you inhale essential oils, molecules of essential oil make their way into your olfactory system and lungs where they can be absorbed into your bloodstream.
Diffusion works because when you inhale essential oils you’re doing more than simply smelling them. In this post I’ll go into detail about each method, how it works, and important safety tips.ĭiffusion describes the process of dispersing essential oil molecules into the air so that they can be inhaled. There are several ways that essential oils are commonly used therapeutically: diffusion (inhalation), topical (skin) application, baths, and oral ingestion.
