Choosing the Right Diffuser

Essential Oil Diffusers: An Overview

There's a myriad of diffusers available in the market, ranging from ultrasonic to evaporative ones. Your choice depends on your preference and the size of your space.

Ultrasonic vs. Evaporative Diffusers

While ultrasonic diffusers use water and vibrations, evaporative ones work by blowing air through a pad soaked in the oil. Both have their perks!

Ideal Settings for Optimal Diffusion

Setting your diffuser on for 30 minutes every 2 hours is ideal for a medium-sized room.
