AZkarisma asked:


Instead of applying a warm compress with thyme essential oil, I made a mistake and applied thyme essential oil neat to my underarm. The skin is literally burned like a chemical burn, and has been red and irritated since Saturday night. How can I treat this to heal the skin and to lessen the burning sensation and redness?

Today aromatherapy diffusers are popular to disperse essential oils throughout the home or office to combat indoor air pollution. Essential oils are antibacterial, antiviral and antimicrobial. They clean, invigorate and fill the air with life-giving negative ions — and they smell uplifting. Diffusing therapeutic-grade essential oils are beneficial to humans, pets and plants alike. But the benefit derived from the use of an aromatherapy diffuser depends entirely on the model of diffuser used, as well as on the quality of essential oils.

7+1 Aromatic Diffuser Methods To Scent The Air:

There are electric aroma fountains that gently infuse the room with scents dispersed in water. Oil burners are another way to scent the room, using a candle to burn the oil. The heated oil creates the desired atmosphere, be it relaxing, stimulating or exotic. There are ceramic rings available used near a light bulb to warm up the oil to release its aroma. Or simply drop essential oils on a ceramic stone. An aromatherapy steamer – boiling water with a few drops of oil added — gently heats the oil and diffuses aroma into the air. Incense sticks -– already steeped in oil — can also be considered an aromatherapy diffuser. Aromatherapy candles give off a lovely scent when burning.

But there is one drawback to all seven methods: Heating the oil will kill the oil. Using heat to diffuse essential oils will destroy essential oils, rendering them therapeutically ineffective.

Aromatherapy Diffuser — How To Use It Effectively

Aromatherapy connoisseurs shun such diffusion methods. Why? Because they only use therapeutic-grade essential oils – essential oils that are 100% pure and unadulterated. These precious and highly effective essential oils cannot be heated in any way, or the desired wellness results are lost. Heating a therapeutic-grade essential oil will cause the oil to lose it’s potency. It may still smell nice, but it has no healing value. Heat destroys the healing power of the “live essence” of essential oils.

To diffuse this wholesome “life essence” into the air without destroying it through heat, a cold-air diffuser was developed. This aromatherapy diffuser consists of a diffuser well, a glass nebulizer and an electric air pump. Adding 10 drops of essential oil into the diffuser well and plugging the air pump into the outlet will diffuse the essential oil without heating the oil. A micro-fine vapor coming through the glass nebulizer quickly fills the room with life-giving aroma.

A cold-air diffuser gently breaks up essential oils into tiny molecules through the micro diffusion glass nebulizer, thus retaining the integrity of the essential oils. This diffuser diffuses essential oils throughout an average room in just a few minutes. There is no need to leave the pump running for long periods of time. Some people add a timer and run the diffuser about once every two hours for a few minutes. Others use their diffusers more frequently, especially during cold seasons. However used, once turned on, the aromatherapy diffuser will work to fill a room with a powerful essential oil aroma.

Why Should You Care?

Because a person’s health and well-being depends on clean indoor air. Already more polluted than the air outdoors, it is important to support the immune system and protect against harmful substances hidden in every home. The aromatherapy diffuser will do just that:
It will protect against harmful bacteria and viruses. Tested at Weber State University, Ogden, Utah, a certain essential oil blend called Thieves was found to have up to a 99.96% killing rate against airborne bacteria. Carpets, sofa, cleaning supplies under the sink and in the cleaning cabinet give off odors from harmful chemicals. An aromatic diffuser will combat them effectively. It will protect from electro-smog oozing from every home appliance, not just TV and computers by helping to supply negative ions and strengthen the immune system. The essential oil diffuser will help eliminate toxic mold and mildew in as little as 24 hours and prevent it from coming back. It battles dust and dust mites, cigarette smoke and unwanted odors, and makes home a truly healthy place to live.

In the near future, an aromatherapy diffuser will be found in every home, because life depends on it.

An Aromatherapy Diffuser For Best Results

The healing power of essential oils is the main attraction in aromatherapy. And an aromatherapy diffuser is the easiest way to deliver the healing power of essential oils into the air to be readily inhaled. Using a refreshing oil blend to purify the home, calming lavender oil to promote good sleep, or peppermint oil to keep the senses alert at work – the aromatherapy diffuser will always create a fresh and nourishing atmosphere.

Rather than using toxic chemical products -– like air fresheners, toilet sanitizers, harsh cleaning chemicals -– the essential oil diffuser will naturally and effectively freshen and clean indoor air. It is a great way to create an atmosphere of warmth, comfort, health and happiness for the whole family, using an aromatherapy diffuser and therapeutic-grade essential oils around the home.
