Ultrasonic Diffusers

Ultrasonic diffusers work by using vibrations to break down water and essential oils into tiny particles, creating a fine mist that is released into the air.  Inside the diffuser, there’s a small disc that vibrates rapidly, usually at ultrasonic frequencies (beyond what humans can hear).  This vibration agitates the water and oil mixture, breaking it into micro-droplets that are then dispersed as a mist.  This mist carries the pleasant aroma of the essential oils and tiny water particles, helping to humidify the air and spread the fragrance throughout a room.  Ultrasonic diffusers are popular for their ease of use, quiet operation, and ability to provide both aromatherapy benefits and a visually appealing ambiance.

Atomizing Diffusers

An atomizing diffuser works by breaking essential oils into a fine, breathable mist without using heat or water. Instead of diluting the oil, this type of diffuser keeps the aroma strong and pure. Inside the device, a small air pump or pressurized airflow pushes air through a narrow tube. As the air moves quickly past the oil source, it creates a vacuum effect that pulls the essential oil upward. The oil then passes through a tiny nozzle that turns it into micro-sized particles. These particles are released into the air as a dry, concentrated mist.

Because no water is used, the scent stays true to the oil’s natural chemistry. The mist also disperses more quickly, allowing the room to fill with aroma in just a few minutes. Atomizing diffusers typically offer adjustable intensity settings so users can choose a light or strong scent based on the space. They are also efficient, using only a small amount of essential oil while still producing a powerful aroma.

This method is ideal for people who want clean, direct aromatherapy without added moisture or heat. It provides a simple, effective way to enjoy essential oils in their purest form.

Cleaning Your Diffuser

• Always turn off and unplug the diffuser prior to cleaning.
• To ensure proper performance, clean the ultrasonic plate and lid after each use.
• If essential oil begins to build up on the ultrasonic plate, gently wipe it off using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
• If essential oil begins to build up on the lid, gently wipe it off using mild soap and water only.
• Never use a corrosive detergent to clean the ultrasonic plate or damage will occur.
• Periodically check under the diffuser to keep the fan intake free of debris.
• Debris can be removed by blowing on the fan intake opening or wiping with a clean, dry cloth. (Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives to clean the plastic housing.)
• When not in use, clean the diffuser and store dry. Replacement ultrasonic plates can be purchased from Young Living.

Aromatherapy

When odorant molecules attach to odorant receptors, your body responds by sending electrical impulses into your brain. This causes different physiological reactions depending on the aromas detected.

The sense of smell has a profound impact on your emotions and inner desires.  Those scents can set the mood or bring up memories before you are even aware of it.

Aromas impact your body and they can set the mood and atmosphere in any environment. 

The sense of smell is directly connected to the limbic lobe of your brain, also known as the emotional control center.  The limbic lobe plays a big role in your mood, memory, behavior, feelings, and emotions, and it is connected to the olfactory bulb in the nose.
