As more and more people are exposed to the benefits of aromatherapy, they are now searching for new ways to enjoy the healing and often mood changing qualities of the practice. One way found to help disperse the healing scents throughout a room is with the use of an aromatherapy oil burner.
The scent has been used as a mood enhancer has been indicated in numerous studies. It has been found that the sense of smell most often offers the earliest memories and that particular smells can trigger certain memories. In order to trigger those memories faster, the use of an aromatherapy oil burner can disperse the scent into a room much faster.
While some people depend on tea lights to heat the essential oils, there are others who prefer electricity. By placing one or two drops of essential oil into the top of an aromatherapy oil burner, it will heat the oil, causing it to evaporate faster and, therefore, be dispersed into the room at a faster rate.
Ceramic, metal and soapstone oil burners are available in different shapes, sizes, colors and styles, of course, you are bound to find one that fits into your décor. By dropping some essential oils into the top bowl of your aromatherapy oil burner, and lighting a tea light candle underneath, the oils will be heated and scent will be spread out in the room.
Electrically heated oil burners also come different sizes and designs and function much the same way with the one disadvantage of the electric aromatherapy oil burner having to remain in closer proximity to an electric outlet.
A safety advantage about an electric aromatherapy oil burner is the fact that it has no open flame and as such, can left in use throughout the night if you wish to keep your room refreshed in the scent of your choice. Another type of almost-electric aromatherapy oil burner is a ceramic circle with a channel running around in which sits on top of just about any size light bulb. The oil drops are then placed in the trough and as the light bulb heats the ceramic, the scent is delivered throughout the room.
There is now even a plug-in type aromatherapy oil burner, which works similarly to other scented plug-ins, except for the part where most with changeable pad pre-treated with scented essential oils of your choice. Once a new pad is put in and it is plugged into an outlet, it says that the room will begin to smell the effects in about five minutes and it will fill a 500 square foot room for about three hours.
