Essential oils are natural compounds that have been taken from plants. The concentrated compound maintains the plant’s scent and flavor. Once the oil is extracted, it is inhaled by the user. Depending on the oil, the scent can have many different effects on the user. Some essential oil users also apply the oil directly to the skin, but unless you are skilled at diluting the oils or have purchased an oil made to be applied on the skin, exercise caution.

What Is a Diffuser?
An essential oil diffuser is a tool used to release the scent of the oil into the air. There are multiple types of diffusers to choose from. Before you choose your diffuser, you will want to do your research to decide how you will be primarily using your oils. Check out a few of the more common diffusers below to see which one will best suit you!
Ceramic tea light diffuser: Best for small areas, ceramic diffusers simply require a drop or two of oil in water. A tealight candle is lit underneath and gently warms the water and essential oil and to encourage the release of essential oil into the air.
Ultrasonic diffuser: Ultrasonic diffusers are plug in electrical devices that push the essential oils into the air using a small disc that creates vibrations. These vibrations cause the water and essential oils to mist into the air. This spreads the essential oils while adding a small amount of moisture to the air.
