Choosing an Essential Oil Diffuser 

Thanks Dannus! I don't update this channel anymore but there are lots of videos already uploaded that you might find interesting! :)

Joanna Banana Strawberry Thank you so much for this info. Now to shop:-)

Possum Possum I'm glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!

Ray Reilly I don't use a fan myself but you can certainly use one to help disperse the scent!

+leslie dominic It depends on what you want to happen. If you want a gentle diffuser to fill a smaller space then an ultrasonic diffuser is awesome (check the links in the video description to find an affordable one on Amazon). If you want to fill a larger space quickly then a nebulizing diffuser would be best.

SilverMichi Mine too!

That is a great one!

+Joanna Banana Strawberry The Whisper Diffuserer has the separate soft cup insert, where you put the oil & water, while the bottom just contains water. Concerned about that soft plastic material, + cleaning & replacing.

Maegan Silva That is one thing I forgot to mention about the humidifying diffusers, it is easy to mix different oils together for your own diffuser blends. Maegan do you make your own blends in old essential oil bottles for your ACE diffuser?

Joanna Banana Strawberry I have done it, but because it requires an additional step and more oil overall, I tend not to make my own blends for the Ace. I think because I have to refill the water in the humidifying diffuser periodically, it seems like less work to mix my own blends (even though it isn't actually less work!). Besides that, if I want to try an experimental blend, I only have to use a couple drops of each in a humidifying diffuser whereas I would need several of each in the Ace.

+Kim Ann The Aroma Ace diffuser will cover a larger area than any ultrasonic diffuser, that might be a good choice for you.

Hi Bobbi, the amount of water vaporized from an ultrasonic diffuser is negligible, but with a nebulizing diffuser it would assure no more moisture in the air. Some essential oils can kill mold spores, so putting essential oils in the air with a diffuser might remove airborne mold. The only real way to take care of a mold problem is to get out of your house. Essential oils will only mask the problem and you will likely continue to have health issues even if using them. That being said, they would be good to use in the interim until you are able to take care of the mold issue. Good luck to you! Blessings, Joanna

Malia Engle I haven't tried the petal diffuser yet but I have heard great things about it. Breathe is a great oil when you're sick, I'm glad it has been helpful for you!

+Daniel Cannata Since it will still be heating the essential oil, it will still have the same effect, the whole essential oil will not be in the air at the same time, the lighter molecules will evaporate first, then the heavier ones later.

from wich company is yours? I would recoment a Young Living Defuser- if you message on " simi.jaskolla@gmx.de " i can give you more information and also 24% sale opportunity if you are interested

There is a link in the video description to a good diffuser from Amazon :)

Yes I love to use Wild Orange in the diffuser. Another of my favorite scents is the Citrus Bliss blend from dōTERRA. Citrus oils are very uplifting!

I use 6 drops lavender 3 drops lemon and 1 drop patchouli and 1 drop of eucalyptis essential oils. It is an amazing scent and aromatherapy.

+MsLILICARO I am in your place, as well, -looking at the Whisper Diffuser. Not thrilled with those soft plastic replacement cups, yet they are purposed to prevent clogs, so can use any oil.

MsLILICARO, try ours via Amazon! We back our products with a 100% guarantee. amzshark.com/r/oil-diffuser

+Leen Hdaib That would be my guess! I bet it's supposed to work with waxes.

I'm talking about the notes of one essential or a blend of essential oils. Regardless of whether it's one essential oil or a blend of them, they will each have top notes which will always evaporate first. In a perfume, yes it's quite lovely when they evaporate at different times, but if you're using essential oils therapeutically, some say that the components (notes) work better as a whole, synergistically. To get the whole effect of the oil at once is thought to be better from a therapeutic perspective.

@@joannabananaberry Hmm yeah, but people usually suggest to make blends of at least one essential oil with top note, one with middle and another with base note. Are they all supposed to be in the air together? Isn't the whole purpose of using different notes is that they evaporate at different times?

+niet mijn echte naam I would fill up your ultrasonic diffuser to just below the fill line and then add between 3-5 drops depending on the size of your room. I usually do 3 since the room I'm diffusing in is on the small side.

I am not sure if there are any diffusers made of ceramic or glass. The plastic in the diffusers is a safe plastic to use that won't leech into the diffuser water.

@@joannabananaberry Thank you for your answer! From what I searched, I did not find any, indeed. Bought a plastic ultrasound diffuser and I am satisfied with it.

@@winicot Glad to hear it!

Dr. Jessica Harden For that many square feet I would suggest a nebulizing diffuser. It will disperse the oil through the room a lot better than the AromaLite could. But, if it's just in a waiting room that is only a small portion of the 1900 sq ft then you can probably get away with just the AromaLite.

+Dr. Jessica Harden Make sure you are using only 100% ORGANIC oils..........

In reality organic essential oils are not always the best. How do you know this? Quality of oils is determined by scientific testing called GCMS , gas chromatography and mass spectometry. These are two machines that test oils as to quality. I will talk on another blog as to how this equipment works, but for now organic oils often do not qualify for premium using these tests. How can organic oils not be premium or the best? You need a fundamental understanding of what essential oils are. The best quality oils are produced by plants under stress. Oils grown in the wild tend to test high for this reason. When you use organic methods, the plants tend not to be stressed. I call them happy plants. Essential oils are made by the plant to defend against attack, disease, damage, or severe weather conditions. Most evergreens produce high levels of essential oils, as they do not have a time of rest and recovery. Because organic oils come from happy plants and not stressed ones, they do not need to make high quality essential oil, as the plant does not need it. If you are buying organic essential oils, ask if the oil meets premium or therapeutic levels. The organic oil you are buying may be a great oil, but the organic label does not tell you that. The point can be made that organic oils do not have pesticide residue. Most plants that produce essential oils have the ability to defend against pests and do not need pesticides, but this is not always the case. Sometimes growers will have fungal outbreaks and will use chemicals. There is not a grower alive that would spend the money on pesticides and then cut the plant material and distill it. If the plant has been sprayed, there is only chemical residue left and it will not distill. These chemicals being larger molecules will be left behind with the plant material. Essential oils are small molecules and they can float in the air or evaporate.

Kras3169 I don't know of any humidifiers that you are able to add essential oils to the water. In the cases I've heard of, this really damages the units. Some humidifiers have a little tray that is meant for vicks vapor rub type stuff, that the steam passes over as it leaves the humidifier, and you are able to add essential oils to this. I have done this in the past, though it's not the best way to diffuse oils! An essential oil diffuser would really be your best option.

Nope, just put them in :-)

Thanks!!

What vibration frequency do you recommend?

Sure! You can find it on the Aromatools website here: www.aromatools.com/Aroma_Ready_Oil_Drop_Diffuser_p/9350.htm

thank you!!!

ana paula reis I just realized you asked for the link to the Aroma Lite!! Not the Aroma Ready. Whoops! The Aroma Lite is a dōTERRA brand diffuser that you can purchase through a consultant. I am a dōTERRA consultant, and you can find out how to purchase oils and diffusers through me by visiting my website here: joannabananaberry.com/essential-oils/

ok, thanks, Joanna!

+Joanna Banana Strawberry - - this site is 404 not found. Wanted to get a description of The Aroma Lite.

+1995a1995z Yes it can help with unpleasant odors. For the stuffiness I would just open windows!

thank you!

Definitely mine, too!

Hi. For the untrasonic diffuser, is the mist hot, warm or coldm

Gwendolene Adu-Tutu It is cold.

Rajan Amin Any ultrasonic diffuser should scent a room that big, just add 5 drops to the water reservoir. If it doesn't saturate the air like you'd like, I would go for the nebulizing diffuser.

Joanna Banana Strawberry Thanks Joanna. If I go with a nebulizer, can I mix a little water to make the oil last longer or would that just defeat the purpose and result in no smell?

Rajan Amin Adding water to the essential oil might ruin a nebulizing diffuser. I would just adjust the timer and intensity settings so that it's not running very hard for very long at a time. 15 minutes on, per hour, is a good guide to go by.

I hope you were kidding when you said that. Cause that is a really bad idea.

+dj458 dj458 I have not heard of ones with a cup insert, but I'm curious about them now, is there a specific brand? I haven't had any trouble with clogged diffusers before. In your experience which diffuser type tends to clog?

If you use citris it could foul up.

+Joanna Banana Strawberry The Whisper Diffuserer DOES have a SEPARATE soft CUP insert. It is suppose to prevent clogging that I hear - some of the oils, produce -(& told not to use)

You can google and find out more.

Iqbal2910 You should be able to find one on Amazon by searching for car diffuser, there are lots of different kinds!

+CMV Robison Are you thinking of a humidifier?

+Joanna Banana Strawberry Hi, I dont know! I am just learning about this. I want to buy a diffuser, but the more videos I watch the more confused I get. I cant afford an expensive one. So, it is not good to put the oils straight into the water only if it is a humidifier? But, if its a cool mist we can put the oils straight into the water? Is this correct? Also, how do we know if the device is a cool mist or not?

+CMV Robison If it's called a humidifier then don't put essential oils in it, even if it says it's a cool mist one! The essential oils can potentially ruin the humidifier. Only use essential oils in a diffuser. A diffuser is specifically made for essential oils. The "humidifying" diffuser is a diffuser that puts out a mist in order to disperse the essential oils into the air, but it's nowhere near how much steam is put out from a humidifier. So, it depends on what you want to do - if you want to diffuse an essential oil, you need a diffuser, and if you want to humidify the air, you'll need a humidifier. You can use both at the same time, but not together :)

+CMV Robison Also, there's a link to an affordable diffuser from Amazon in the description of the video if you're looking for one! :)

+Joanna Banana Strawberry Joanna, you are so kind to answer my questions. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! During flu season, all my children's rooms (I have 4 children) always have cool mist humidifiers on all night. But, I know about the power of essentials oils. So, I also want to add diffusers in their rooms, I just dont know which one to get. There are so many different kinds, and the prices vary too much. I am leaning towards an ultrasonic, but even that varies so much in prices. A lot of these diffusers have led colored lights, which is exactly what my children do not want. They want to sleep in dark rooms with no light (me too). Anyway, my research goes on.......

Essential oil smells are very personal. I make my own mixes using only pure essential oils, not mixes. I mix my own. It may be the Aromis "signature oil" that is nauseating. Read up on essential oil recipes and try making your own. Experiment until you find what you love. It's easy ! Bless you.

I’m about to buy one on Etsy from Aromis. Did the problem ever get resolved. I’m wondering if I use different brands it will work.

UncleKt I have one going on 4 years and love it.
