Ultrasonic Diffuser, What is the Difference?"},"content":{"rendered":"
I have been looking for diffusers because I\u2019ve recently bought some bottles of essential oils. To be honest, there are a lot of options out there, due to the growing popularity of essential oils. But I\u2019ve researched all the different types and thought about sharing with you the difference between two of the most popular types of diffusers.<\/p>\n
What is the difference between a nebulizer diffuser and an ultrasonic diffuser?\u00a0A nebulizer diffuser uses undiluted essential oils while an ultrasonic diffuser needs water. Moreover, a nebulizer diffuser uses pressurized air to release essential oil molecules into the air, whereas an ultrasonic diffuser uses electronic vibrations.<\/strong><\/p>\n However, beyond the differences in how they work and how they disperse essential oils into the air, these diffusers also have their own benefits. Each one has its own set of disadvantages, as well.\u00a0 Let\u2019s explore what those are.<\/p>\n Essential oils<\/a> are all the rage these days, and diffusers have become a staple in a growing number of households. You can get a diffuser to use essential oils aromatically and to take advantage of their benefits by inhaling their vapors. However, there are different types of diffusers and it helps to know which one to get for your home.<\/p>\n A diffuser is a device that breaks an essential oil into tiny particles and disperses them into the air. In other words, it is the diffuser’s job to evenly release the particles of essential oils at a concentration that doesn\u2019t overpower everything else.<\/p>\n These little molecules give the room a pleasant-smelling ambiance. It can also have a calming, invigorating, or whatever effect the oils promise to deliver.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A nebulizer diffuser, which is also called a nebulizing diffuser, uses pressurized air in dispersing a mist of essential<\/a> oil. It works the same way a perfume atomizer does, where a small air pump blows air across a small tube and creates a powerful vacuum. This vacuum pulls the essential oil from the bottom of a distribution tube towards the surface, resulting in a burst of scent or aroma into the air.<\/p>\n With a nebulizer diffuser, you wouldn’t need water or heat anymore. This means that the mist is entirely from the essential oil. And because of this, it is considered a low-maintenance type of diffuser.\u00a0Moreover, a nebulizer diffuser has airflow controls that will allow you to determine the amount of oil being released into the air.<\/p>\n An ultrasonic diffuser uses high-frequency sound waves or electronic vibrations to break down essential oil particles into their base molecules. It uses water to create a fine mist, and then disperses these molecules into the air you breathe so you could take in their benefits.<\/p>\n More specifically, this mechanism involves the oils sitting on top of the water and ultrasonic vibrations agitating it. This action would then cause the oil molecules to separate. These essential oil molecules are negatively charged, so they spread through the air by attaching to the positively charged molecules that are already present in the room.<\/strong><\/p>\n This type of diffuser is also called humidifying diffuser.<\/p>\n Nebulizing diffusers and ultrasonic diffusers are not the only types of diffusers<\/a> available, though.\u00a0There are heat or electric diffusers as well as evaporative diffusers.<\/p>\n A heat or electric diffuser, as its name implies, uses heat or electricity instead of using a fan to turn oil to gas. Candle diffusers and lamp ring diffusers are examples of heat diffusers.<\/p>\n However, this diffuser may not be as effective as you’d hope because heating essential oils changes their chemical properties.\u00a0 This could make them less or more intense depending on their components.<\/strong><\/p>\n This diffuser does not have a fan, so it is completely quiet.<\/p>\n This type of diffuser makes use of a small fan to help turn oil to gas. With this, the essential oils evaporate into the air. As they evaporate, though, the essential oils lose some of their potency.<\/p>\n An evaporative diffuser is an excellent choice for those who want a quick aromatic sensation.<\/p>\n Essential oils can be used either topically or aromatically. Some oils can also be ingested, although many experts advise against this. Applying oils on the skin should also be done with caution as it can cause burns.\u00a0 Follow suggested dilution rates if you choose to do either of these.<\/strong><\/p>\n So, in effect, the aromatic use of essential oils is the safest method. And using essential oils aromatically with the help of a diffuser in the room has positive results for the people there. You get to take in the healing and supportive properties of the essential oils you are using by merely breathing.<\/p>\n There are many benefits to diffusing essential oils, depending on which oils you are using. These benefits include:<\/p>\n These benefits can support our health and contribute to our physical, emotional, or mental well-being.<\/p>\n And while diffusers do function like some of the air fresheners sold in the market, they do so without the synthetic ingredients and possibly harmful chemicals. Instead, you use pure, natural, organic, and therapeutic-grade essential oils to do the job.<\/p>\n A nebulizer diffuser and an ultrasonic diffuser each have their own benefits and shortcomings.<\/p>\n Disadvantages:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n Disadvantages:<\/p>\n A nebulizer diffuser and ultrasonic diffuser are both excellent options and will both deliver the therapeutic benefits you need. But when should you choose one over the other?<\/p>\n However, if you want something that outputs the purest aroma of the essential oils and their maximum benefits, go for the nebulizer diffuser. Getting a nebulizing diffuser is also a great choice if you’re using inhalation aromatherapy for your health and wellness.<\/p>\n It is also the perfect option for you if you don’t mind buying essential oils more frequently, as they will run out fast.<\/p>\nThe Differences Between Nebulizer Diffuser and Ultrasonic Diffuser<\/h2>\n
