Warmers vs Diffusers? ** Was: Oils For Allergies and Nasal Polyps ??

[Guest guest]

Hi:

 

A warmer is a dish that warms up a candle to a liquid so you can get the great

smell from the oils or fragrance in it, and a diffuser is something that you

actually put essential oils in and it diffuses the scent into the air. It is

pretty close, except with the warmer you need a candle. Unless someone knows of

a different kind of warmer!

What's the difference between a warmer and diffuser? How much do I use in each?

Thanks, Jenifer

Hi Jennifer...

 

Depends...<G>.....

 

Some folks will tell you a warmer (say with a tea candle) is a type of

diffuser...The EO floats on water, and the candle warms the water to

diffuse the EO or Essence...

 

Some folks say this is not a true diffuser, but I can attest to the fact

it works pretty well...

 

Other types of diffusers atomize the EO or whatever thru means of a pump...

 

A great diffuser is a strip of cloth with a couple drops of Essence in a

air conditioning stream.......

 

 

At work I used to use a tissue with essence on the top of a warm monitor...

 

As far as whichever commercial one you use...they usually have general

instructions, which you can modify to preference...
