Diffusers are an increasingly popular addition to modern households. Not only can they refresh, fragrance, and humidify the air, but they also serve as an aesthetic accessory. Read more about the benefits a diffuser can bring you.
A clean, fragrant, and healthy home is a priority for most of us. However, air fresheners full of aggressive chemicals have long gone out of fashion, and paraffin aromatic candles are also not ideal for our health. A diffuser can therefore be a great **solution to refresh the air in the home**.
A diffuser is a small device designed to **disperse essential (etheric) oils**. It works on the principle of air flow or creating a fine mist or water vapor, which carries the scent and active substances from the oils into the air. There are several types of diffusers that differ slightly in the way they work.
The most common types include:
This type of diffuser works on the principle of gently heating the oil and subsequently releasing the aromatic substances into the air. Due to the heating process, it is slightly **less gentle on the properties of the essential oil** (it may slightly degrade it) than other types.
This diffuser disperses the essential oil using an air current, which is usually generated by a small fan. **No water** or heat is therefore needed. Oil consumption is relatively low, and the resulting aromatic effect is very subtle.
This diffuser uses neither heat nor water to disperse the oil. The oil is **dispersed into microscopic particles (aerosol)** in the form of a mist using an air current or mechanical pressure. This process is called nebulization. The oil is not damaged by its effect, and the result is intense.
This type of diffuser uses the principle of **ultrasonic or sonic vibrations**, which disperse the water with the contained oil into the air. It is quieter than other types and does not degrade the quality of the essential oil.
It is the **ultrasonic or sonic** diffusers that are among the most popular models. Thanks to their dual function – aromatherapy and air humidification – they replace two devices at once.
Try, for example, the **Orava HUM-42 ultrasonic air humidifier** with quiet operation and built-in LED light with 7 colors, which will help you create a more pleasant climate in your home.

The daily rush puts excessive strain on the human body and psyche. Aromatherapy can be a great **way to relax and unwind.** It uses the effects of essential oils from plants to support physical, psychological, and emotional well-being.
The biggest benefits that aromatherapy brings include:
The effects of aromatherapy also depend on the specific oil you use. Each of them has a unique composition of substances that can act differently on the human body or psyche – for example, stimulating, calming, or antibacterial.
Not sure which essential oil to choose for your diffuser? You can try one of the proven oils that are known for their beneficial effects:
**Some oils can be mixed together** to create new scents and achieve combined effects. Try to **adhere to the recommended concentration** (e.g., 3 – 5 drops per 100 ml of water in an ultrasonic diffuser).
Although the use of most diffusers and essential oils is safe, it is good to follow a few important principles to ensure that the effects of aromatherapy are beneficial, not harmful.
By following these recommendations, aromatherapy can become a simple and effective way to refresh and humidify the air in the home, support psychological well-being, and conjure up a pleasant atmosphere.
