There are different types of oil diffusers, each with different characteristics and functioning.
Some of the main types are:
-
Ultrasonic Diffuser : This diffuser works by vibrating a ceramic membrane at high frequency to create a fine, cool mist, mixing essential oils with water. It's quiet and easy to use, ideal for small to medium spaces.
-
Passive diffuser : This type of diffuser uses a simple natural evaporation mechanism to disperse the scent of oils. They are usually composed of a porous base that retains the oil and wooden sticks that absorb it. This type of diffuser is more suitable for small and closed environments.
-
Mist Diffuser : This diffuser works by pressurizing pure essential oils into a fine, rapid stream, producing a highly concentrated, aromatic mist. It is suitable for large and open environments.
-
Gentle Heat Diffuser : This diffuser uses heat to disperse oils, without the need for water or other liquids. An example is the ceramic diffuser, which uses a small candle to heat the oil.
-
Ventilation diffuser : This diffuser uses ventilation to disperse the aroma of the oils, through pads or filters impregnated with the essential oil, which are inserted into the device. It is suitable for small environments.
-
Diffuser by rods (mikado) : This diffuser uses wooden rods that are immersed in a bottle with essential oil, which rises through the pores of the rods and disperses in the environment. It is a simple and natural option, ideal for use at home or in small spaces.
Each type of diffuser has its advantages and disadvantages, and it is important to choose the one that best suits your personal needs and preferences.
