Relax in a completely tranquil atmosphere. Aroma diffusers are one way of enhancing the homely ambience. No matter in which rooms you place such a diffuser - you can completely calm down and experience wellness at the highest level.
Regardless of the season, you can enjoy a beguiling aroma, especially in combination with essential oils. Ultimately, aroma diffusers are a step up from the humidifier, which is known the world over.
Accordingly, the diffusers are able to take on several tasks at once and not just create a sensual aroma. In this guide, we will tell you in detail what an aroma diffuser is and what types there are. We also discuss important purchasing aspects and the advantages in detail.
For regular use, you should also make sure that you use filtered water. If, on the other hand, you use plain tap water, you will need to clean and descale the aroma diffuser at regular intervals. This will ensure many years of use and prevent damage.
You should also make sure that you check the aroma diffuser after each use. It is conceivable that residues of the scented oils will be visible, especially if the dosage is quite generous. You should always remove this before the next use.
This brings us to the next application tip, as just a few drops are usually enough. You can easily combine different fragrances with each other and achieve your optimum fragrance effect.
What is an aroma diffuser?
If you are not familiar with the subject, you are unlikely to understand the definition of an aroma diffuser. Our guide will therefore help you to understand the whole thing a little better. Today's aroma diffusers are available in different sizes and variants. These types of devices can be placed on a table or on shelves in living rooms. There are now also models that have a floor stand and which you can use standing up. You can use the aroma diffuser specifically with essential oils. The device ensures targeted diffusion and creates a special kind of ambience. The diffusers achieve the greatest effect in closed rooms in particular. But that's not all, as some devices also produce an audible rippling sound. The aroma diffuser is also known as a nebulizer and offers you the opportunity to switch off completely and forget the stress of the last few days.How does an aroma diffuser work?
The Casida aroma diffusers are all operated using ultrasonic technology. A vibrating plate on the base of the diffuser filled with water generates a large number of inaudible vibrations. The resulting waves rise up and atomize the water vapour. By adding essential oils, the air is not only evenly humidified, but also filled with natural fragrances. The advantage of ultrasonic nebulization is that it is virtually noiseless and easy to use. Unlike oil lamps, there is no risk of the oils drying out or burning. If you have the choice, you should always opt for an ultrasonic diffuser - it looks good, is effective and ecological.Aroma diffusers: What types are there?
Essentially, a distinction can be made between ultrasonic aroma diffusers and waterless models. If you want to buy an aroma diffuser, you should choose a model with an ultrasonic nebulizer. Many modern devices combine several functions, have a high level of efficiency and achieve amazing results even in larger rooms. The various models differ in terms of the filling quantity and therefore the continuous operating time. For more professional users, a diffuser with a filling capacity of 300 ml or more is therefore recommended. There is a wide range of shapes, colors and materials to suit every taste: there are models made of ceramic or plastic or in the latest wood design. Desired additional functions are also further criteria, e.g. whether the appliance should also serve as a night light, i.e. be a real light source, or whether it can manage with a discreet LED element.Are there battery-operated aroma diffusers?
The number of different products on offer is high and varied. It is therefore no surprise that battery-operated models are now also available alongside diffusers with a power connection. The Casida version is the ideal companion for on the go, at home, in the office and in surgeries. The essential oils are applied to the aroma pad inside the diffuser and atomized by a gentle stream of air without heating or water. The fragrances are released naturally and unadulterated. Another advantage of this model is the additional USB connection - for even more flexibility.The choice of oils: how the variants differ
When it comes to fragrance oils, you have the choice between synthetic, nature-identical and pure natural essential oils. However, the different variants differ, and not just in terms of price. Naturally pure essential oils in particular are very popular. They achieve a positive effect on a purely natural basis. Although the purchase costs for pure essential oils are somewhat higher, the substances are also obtained from real plant parts. Synthetic products, on the other hand, produce a nice-smelling fragrance but have no other positive effects. We therefore recommend that you only use natural essential oils when using an aroma diffuser. At Casida you have a diverse selection of oils including a detailed description of the fragrance effect. Our essential oils are 100% natural, free from artificial perfume and not diluted with alcohol as is the case with some manufacturers' oils.Where can you buy aroma diffusers?
These little all-rounders can be purchased in various ways. You can find different models in various online stores, such as www.casida.de. It is now also possible to order diffusers in any stationary pharmacy and have them delivered. Pharmacies can offer the products within a few hours or days using the pharmaceutical central number (PZN) of each individual product. Mail-order pharmacies also have a large range of ultrasonic diffusers.What you need to look out for when buying
Before you decide on a particular device, you should pay attention to much more than just the price before buying an aroma diffuser. User-friendly operation and easy cleaning are the basis, but that's not all. You should also decide for yourself which of the following points are important to you:- Do you want to use essential oils? Then you need a compatible device
- How loud can the aroma diffuser be?
- How large should the volume be?
- Do you value a timer on the diffuser?
- Is integrated lighting important to you?
- Would you like a separate remote control to operate the diffuser?
Who are diffusers suitable for?
As far as diffusers are concerned, the devices are not suitable for everyone. Although modern devices can significantly improve your well-being, allergy sufferers in particular should be especially careful. This applies to all oils used and you should therefore approach the use of a diffuser with caution. If you suffer from any pre-existing conditions, you should clarify their use in advance. You can consult a doctor who can tell you more about its use.Tips for use
Before you use the aroma diffuser, you should first take a few tips to heart. These include, for example, making sure that you fill the container with enough water. If there is no more water in the nebulizer, you must not switch the device on again. However, modern aroma diffusers have an automatic switch-off function.For regular use, you should also make sure that you use filtered water. If, on the other hand, you use plain tap water, you will need to clean and descale the aroma diffuser at regular intervals. This will ensure many years of use and prevent damage.
You should also make sure that you check the aroma diffuser after each use. It is conceivable that residues of the scented oils will be visible, especially if the dosage is quite generous. You should always remove this before the next use.
