What is a Diffuser?

Have you ever heard of using diffusers to get rid of mice and rats?

I have a co-worker who has a small travel diffuser she uses at her desk. For the most part I don't mind the smell of what she has in her diffuser, but sometimes she chooses some very strange smelling scents.

She says it helps keep the air in her work space cleaner and healthier. You can almost tell what kind of mood she is in by the scent coming from her desk. The sound of the air blowing can also be a little bit annoying, but nobody has complained enough that she has had to get rid of it yet.

I don't see how it makes much of a difference one way or another, but as long as she thinks it does she will probably continue using it.

I have en essential oil diffuser that uses straight oil and no water is added. This can use up quite a bit of oil, but in certain situations this can be really helpful.

I only used therapeutic essential oils in this diffuser and these are different than fragrance oils. If someone in my family has a bad cold I will fill the tube with essential oils that work as natural antibiotics such as lemon and clove oil.

When they breathe in the vapor from the diffuser it can be very helpful at helping them fight off the germs that are causing them to feel so bad.

When I was introduced to the benefits of using essential oils, I was also shown how an electric diffuser works. I love the way the fragrance of the oil can fill not only one room but a whole lot of space.

I have an electric diffuser that I pour water in and add whatever essential oils I am in the mood for. If I need to stay focused and alert, I add a few drops of peppermint oil. If I am having trouble sleeping, some lavender oil will usually do the trick.

My diffuser is set on a timer so it can come on for different time intervals. I usually have mine set to diffuse for 10 minutes, stop for 10 minutes and start again for 10 minutes. I can run the diffuser for 8 hours this way before it runs out of water.

I have used a light bulb ring fragrance diffuser around my light bulbs in the bathroom. I liked the way the fragrance filled the room when the lights were turned on, but they aren't very practical.

Every time I needed to add more oil I had to climb on the counter to reach the light bulbs. I finally quit doing it and used something else for fragrance in the bathroom. I think these would work better when you could use the ring on a light bulb that was within easy reach.

I use a reed diffuser instead. There is no flame involved, so I feel safe with it.

I had one of those aromatherapy diffusers with a fan, and I didn't use it very much. I had bought it to go on my desk at work, but it just made too much noise. It distracted me, and I couldn't deal with that.

Luckily, my coworkers didn't mind if I used a candle diffuser. I put vanilla oil in it, and it seemed to mellow us all out.

Of course, I kept a close watch on it. I didn't allow any papers to get near the flame, and if I had to leave my desk, I would either put it on someone else's desk or extinguish the flame.

I got a scented oil diffuser at one of those white elephant gift parties. I didn't think I'd ever use it, but a friend gave me some essential oils as a Christmas gift, so I took it as a sign that I should.

I put some orange oil into the bowl and lit the tea light candle in the cavern beneath it. The result was a stronger fragrance than most candles can give you.

I like to burn it before company is coming, because the smell lingers awhile in the house. It drowns out any pet odors.

I had never heard of light bulb ring scented oil diffusers. I have used the heat from light bulbs to disperse fragrance throughout the room, but I apply the fragrance directly to the hot bulb.

I spray either a scented body spray or some sort of air freshener on the bulb after it has been burning for awhile, and within seconds, I can smell the fragrance everywhere. It's a simple trick for people who don't have actual diffusers on hand.
