Kim-essential oils

[Guest guest]

Hi Don...I actually have three. My favorite one though is an

inexpensive one I got from aromaland. It has a little tray where you

put a pad and drop essential oils on. There's a little fan

underneath for the diffusing. It doesn't use any heat, which can

change the properties of EOs. It's simple to use, it's quiet, it's

small, and has multiple speeds. It'll only do one small room at a

time though. About $40

 

I have another one that sorta resembles a fish tank air pump. It has

a glass tube attached to it that you put the oils in. I must say, I

hardly ever use that thing even with the enourmous amount of money I

spent on it. Plus it's loud. Imagine taking the fish tank pump out

of the water and putting it on the table...same thing. The little

glass diffuser is a pain in the neck to clean and it uses alot of

essential oil. About $100

 

The other kind I have is just one of those candle diffusers where

you put the oil in the dish above the candle. I think it's only job

is to look pretty. I wouldn't use it for any therapeutic diffusing.

It also uses heat so it changes the oils properties somewhat.
