1. Lamp Rings
A lamp ring is a device that contains a lamp and a ring which can be made from a number of materials such as metal or ceramic and placed over the lamp with a few drops of oil placed in the ring, the lamp then heats the oil. This type of lamp is not expensive but if any oil comes in contact with the bulb it could break the lamp or start a fire so care must be taken, heating the oil in this manner is less effective and could alter and change the therapeutic benefits of the oil.

 

2. Candle diffusers
Candle diffusers are similar to lamp rings, the main difference is how they heat the oil. Most are a clay pot type looking devices where water is placed in the burner then a few drops of  your favorite <strong> oil</strong> plus the burner are placed over the candle which heats the oil directly, this type of essential oil diffuser must be treated like a candle and not left unattended for fear of starting a fire.

 

3. Atomizers
If you are new to diffusing then this is a good place to start. Atomizers disperses essential oils into the air with a fine mist of evaporated water. You generally can use any therapeutic grade essential oils with this type of model, controlling the strength of the aroma is easily done by adding more or less oil as needed. They can be plugged in and should be cleaned after every use.

 

4. Nebulizers Nebulizers are complex devices that turn oils into vapor, nebulizers disperses a more concentrated aroma in to the air and is more for a serious type of therapy. This type of diffuser is used typically for a more targeted emotional treatment, the molecules are broken down into a fine mist and disperse into the air through a glass nebulizer making a hissing sound as the oil infused molecules escaping the glass nebulizer, when done using the nebulizer  it should be cleaned out after every use.

 

5. Fan diffusers
Fan diffusers come in a number of models, you can get models that can do a large room or a small space. They can run on batteries or can be plugged in. Fan diffusers do not use heat to release the molecules in essential oils, they do it by blowing cool air through an all natural pad that contains essential oils.
