Why buy an essential oil diffuser

On the one hand, it is a design element, on the other hand, it hides well its playfulness. Essential oil diffusers, on the other hand, make interiors healthier. Whether in a bedroom or a living room, it is important that these rooms are purified of any bacteria or microbes that cause bad smells and illnesses. Moreover, even if you don’t necessarily believe in these new healthy lifestyles mixed with “spiritualism”, you will surely notice some small pleasant changes. For example, the delicate scents of this or that plant that you enjoy will bring you joy unconsciously.

Olfactory atmosphere

We’ve all been to a friend’s house, where there was an odour we don’t know what, like a clean smell where you feel good. Believe us, there’s a good chance that his steam diffuser had something to do with it. Indeed, depending on the essential oil chosen, you have the possibility to create energy in your home. Afterwards, these plant smells form a dynamic, a state of mind in your home, where each of us feels it in the long run. We are all sensitive to the smells that surround us because smell is an essential sense. It allows us to know and feel many more things than we think. Indeed, our sense of smell is very closely linked to our memories and to our memory where each smell means or reminds us of a feeling, a sensation.

Benefits of essential oils

For years, essential oils have been known to have extraordinary benefits. So first of all, yes, essential oils have ” super powers “, but please ask about the counter-indications according to each person. Thus, the diffusion of essential oils is also a way to benefit from them. For example, lavender and sweet orange essential oil will allow you to relax, while lemongrass essential oil will help you to relax keep mosquitoes away without taking the risk of burning something. Finally, essential oils of Scots pine and eucalyptus have properties to help you breathe better in winter cold weather. However, there are dozens and dozens of them that will offer you many other benefits such as good mood and sleep!

How to choose an essential oil diffuser :

It’s very complicated to find your way around. Indeed, essential oil diffusers are still quite recent objects or at least have been trendy lately. How to choose one among so many others? Which aspects are important? So many questions and so many answers! This is why we invite you to read this little guide to the criteria for choosing an essential oil diffuser. Diffuseur-visuel02-Simpeak

The type

To begin with, there are several types of diffuser. The most modern is the ultrasonic one and the oldest is the one with a nebulisation system. In our selection, we have only put models with the first technology because this is the best available in terms of diffusers. Moreover, they do not have any negative impact due to the ultrasonic pad, neither its strident nor any other mischief. The benefits of essential oils are better perceived with this type of diffuser. Unlike the others with the nebulisation system, which has a pump that makes more noise and is less efficient.

The design

It’s all a matter of taste of course! You can find all kinds of them: large or small, curved or more geometric, dark or light, wood or metal effect… In short, there are many different styles and choices. For the size we advise you to see in which room you want to put it. Depending on the size of the room, we advise you toadapt its size. Then, regarding its design, it also depends on theuse you want to make of it. If it’s to purify your house and remove the bad smell, we would rather direct you to a decorative model without seeing much of the light effects. If the use is intended for relaxation, meditation or sport sessions, you can afford to choose one with more visible light effects with a Zen visual. Then, why not go with the Bluetooth speaker. Finally, if you want to put it in a room, we advise you to combine the 2. That is to say, a decorative model while keeping the lighting effects present to turn them on if you have to get up during the night.

The manufacturing materials

It is very important to look at them with a fine-tooth comb. The materials, for an essential oil diffuser, will heat up a little during use and then be propelled throughout the room. To end up in our respiratory tracts and lungs. Therefore, we do not recommend that you buy an essential oil diffuser made with BPA. This chemical compound has been recognised as an endocrine disruptor that is bad for our health. Moreover, the vast majority of diffusers are made of plastic and not wood as their visuals may lead you to believe. Otherwise, remember to check that these essential oil misters are well equipped with non-slip feet to avoid falls.

The capacity

Studying the capacity of the water tank is interesting. It allows you to know where it is best adapted. For example, a small diffuser of less than 300mL is very good for a room. Conversely, an essential oil diffuser of more than 400mL is at least recommended for a large living room. In fact, the capacity makes it possible to know the space coverage of the essential oil diffuser. It also determines the diffusion time, in fact, the larger the tank, the longer the diffusion will last.

Additional features

They all look less alike, however, some are equipped with certain features while others are not. Here is a non-exhaustive list of additional technical features:

  • Light effects (continuous runway or possibility to fix on a colour)
  • Timers
  • Bluetooth equipped speakerphone
  • Automatic shut-off when water runs out
  • 2 types of misting (intense or alternating)
  • Remote control for remote control
  • Very quiet system

The price

Last but not least: price! Very often complicated to estimate. The fear of not being fooled is common to all. However, there is a very effective solution, that of looking at customer comments. You’ll know directly if the model is worth it and therefore the cost! If not, for you, essential oil diffusers on the internet cost between 20 and 50 euros. They will indeed be cheaper on the net than in shops.
