Scent Diffusers

Scent Diffusers refer to the device used in the scenting of a home or workplace with various fragrances designed to enhance energy, reduce anxiety, or otherwise alters moods. Scent diffusers have many variations but basically, scent diffusers release fragrance oils and essential oils into the air in a controlled manner.

Types of Scent Diffusers
There are many different kinds of scent diffusers, which use various modes of delivery. Here are few examples of scent diffusers:

Reed Scent Diffusers:
These scent diffusers use reeds soaked in a fragrance solution to diffuse the scent. A reed diffuser is not only attractive but does not require electricity. If the scent needs to be replenished the reeds easily be flipped over to renew the fragrance.

Heated Pad Scent Diffusers:
This kind of diffuser is a plastic ball, with a low-level heat plate. You put a pad on the plate that has been treated with a few drops of essential oils. These scent diffusers you can leave plugged in all the time with no safety hazard. To get full benefits, treat daily with a few drops of oil on the pad.

Low Heat Scent Diffusers:
These scent diffusers insert into the outlet. They do use a low-level heat that heats up an insert in the diffuser. The length that the insert will last varies to each manufacturer. This kind of scent diffuser is good for a bathroom but if you want large area coverage you might consider something else.

Forced Air Scent Diffusers:
There are quite a few of these scent diffusers on the market today. These are also inserted into an outlet and use a low level heat. However, these models have liquid inserts and small fans built in to help diffuse the scent even further.

Steam Scent Diffusers:
These scent diffusers use steam to diffuse oils, ensuring the purity of the fragrance. This diffuser is ideal for use in a child's room and is suitable for the home or office.

Ceramic Scent Diffusers (Angels, Pyramids, etc.):
These types of scent diffusers do not involve heat (normally). They rely on room temperature, sunlight, or a small breeze to distribute the fragrance. A drawback to these as opposed to having a disposable pad, the oils permeate the container. You will then need to treat the ceramic with compatible oils.

Light Rings:
Usually medal or ceramic, you literally put a few drops of oil in the ring, and place on a light bulb (while it's cool). These scent diffusers can be hazardous - don't burn yourself or break the light bulb. Nice for reading and relaxing before bed.

Homemade Scent Diffusers:
Treating a piece of ribbon, then hanging it from the window. Putting a few drops of essential oil in a bowl of very hot water can scent a small room. Refreshing Potpourri with essential oils. Putting a few drops on a candle (before lighting).
