There is really no doubt about the health benefits of aromatherapy. Botanical medicine has been used for thousands of years throughout history and to this day it still remains the primary source of treatment for over 80% of people in developing countries. Yet, most of us still underestimate the powerful effects that herbal scents have on our mental and physical health. When we inhale essential oils, they activate our olfactory nerves and enter our brain which produces a number of different effects on our neurological, hormonal and immunological systems.
Although flowers appeared much later in the history of plant evolution, they initiated an explosion of biodiversity that we have to this day. Flowers, roots, leaves and woods remain an essential ingredient in medicine, spices, food, perfumes, and so on. The art of distillation of those plants has been developed to perfection over at least 2000 years and today we have a large variety of concentrated essential oils and different ways to disperse them and get them into our respiratory system. Probably the most efficient and the most practical way to do that is the ultrasonic oil diffuser and that’s not some piece of technology from the Doctor Who universe or a new single by Daft Punk. Add just a few drops of essential oil and some water into the ultrasonic oil diffuser and watch the magic happen. Of course, it’s not really magic, it’s science so advanced, you might as well call it magic.
This device uses high frequency vibrations that atomize the liquid without using any heat source and creates a cool mist that vaporizes and spreads evenly throughout the room and can be inhaled and absorbed easily. Sounds cool right? Well, that’s because it is cool. Here are some of the advantages of using an ultrasonic oil diffuser.
- An oil diffuser helps purify the air. The oils themselves increase this purifying effect because they kill airborne bacteria and fungi. Oils from oregano, cinnamon, thyme, and many others are known for their antibiotic effect.
- Oil diffusers also significantly reduce dust in the air because of the ionizing effect. They negative ions that are released into the air, attach themselves to the positive ions and cause dust to fall on the ground so it no longer pollutes the air.
- The ultrasonic technology splits the essential oil into millions of particles and creates a very fine water vapor that quickly spreads throughout the entire room. Within a few minutes your entire home will be filled with delightful aroma.
- Ultrasonic diffusers also maintain a healthy level of air humidity which ranges from 40 to 60 percent. This is a really great feature since dry air can cause a number of respiratory issues, irritation and dry skin.
- Since the ultrasonic oil diffuser doesn’t use heat to vaporize the oils, none of the therapeutic effects are lost and the oil retains its optimal natural scent.
Overall, ultrasonic oil diffusers are the bast way to benefit from all the positive effects that essential oils have on your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
