How to Use Nebulizing Diffusers for Essential Oils - Nebulizer Benefits

As many of you know, I am a huge fan of essential oils and use them regularly in my home. One way to use them is in a waterless diffuser called an essential oil nebulizer. Nebulizing diffusers are a great way to use essential oils because they disperse the oil into the air in a fine mist without needing water, allowing you to breathe it in pure essential oils. This is a great option if you have respiratory issues or if you just want to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy. In this post, I'll share some tips on how to use nebulizing diffusers with essential oils. Enjoy!
How to Use Nebulizing Diffusers with Essential Oils by Loving Essential Oils

Diffusing essential oils is one of the most popular ways to enjoy aromatherapy. Many benefits can be gained when they are diffused into the air. Here I share my experience with nebulizing diffusers for essential oils.

Diffusion simply means "the state of being spread out". This can be accomplished by different methods. Nebulizing diffusers are just one of four types of diffusers you may choose to use for aromatherapy.

Types of Essential Oil Diffusers

Are you looking for a way to enjoy your essential oils? If so, you may be wondering what the different types of essential oil diffusers are. In this section, we'll discuss the most common types of essential oil diffusers and explain how each one works.

Here are four kind of essential oils diffusers:

1. Ultrasonic Diffusers

This is by far the most popular type of diffuser, it requires water to run. It is able to release essential oil molecules into the air using ultrasonic waves. The waves instantly vaporize the water and oils in the tank to produce a cool, aromatic mist. Sometimes they are called humidifying diffusers.

2. Nebulizing Diffusers (aka Essential Oil Nebulizer)

This is the type of diffuser we are talking about in this blog post. These are waterless diffusers that use pressurized air streams from specially designed jet nozzles. This causes the breakdown of essential oils into very tiny particles that are released into the air. No water required.

3. Evaporative Diffusers (aka Passive Diffusers)

This type uses air flow to diffuse the oils. It can include a fan or be diffuser jewelry. When air comes in contact with essential oils they evaporate and the aroma is released in the air.

All of these diffuser types fall into this category:

Even a bowl of absorbent bead, pinecones, or terracotta stones with essential oils utilize this method of diffusion.

4. Heat Diffusers

Not the best option. This method doesn't involve any water. The heat applied to the oils can damage and lower the effectiveness of essential oils. To preserve your high quality oils, it is best to use one of the other diffuser types.

How Nebulizing Diffusers Work

This type of diffuser uses the process of nebulization to achieve evaporation. A pressurized air stream from a specially designed jet nozzle forces the breakdown of essential oils into very tiny particles. These tiny particles are small enough for the lungs and body to absorb quickly.

Many aromatherapists feel that nebulizing is the best choice when it comes to diffusing essential oils because it doesn't alter the chemical composition of the oils.

Carrier oils should never be used in a diffuser. Be sure that any premade blends you plan to use are not diluted with carrier oils. Carrier oils do not evaporate.

Organic Aromas Diffuser and Oils

In my search to find a plastic free essential oil diffuser, I found the pictured nebulizing diffuser from Organic Aromas. They even include a free bottle of their signature blend in the box. It consists of Elemi, Clary sage, Cajeput, Bergamot, and Chamomile Morocco and smells wonderful.

Organic Aromas also carries essential oils, here is their Discovery Collection, a great starter set for diffusing, especially if just starting out because you get lots to try (40 sample vials of oil!) at a great price:

Benefits of Nebulizing Diffusers

Works Fast: Quickly fills the air with a larger amount of oils

Waterless: Doesn't require water to diffuse oils

No Heat: Doesn't use heat, it uses air flow to diffuse oils

Plastic Free: Majority of essential oil nebulizers are made of glass

No Humidification: This is especially helpful if you live in a humid area

Cons of Nebulizing Diffusers

Needs More Oil: They tend to use oils at a higher rate than other diffusers

May Be Noisy: Some nebulizer units can be noisier than ultrasonic diffusers

Cleaning: Requires cleaning of device to prevent clogs

No Humidification: If wanting to add moisture to the air, this won't work as a humidifier

Breakable: Glass essential oil diffusers are more delicate than plastic ones

Costly: In general, this type of diffuser machine is more expensive to purchase

How to Use Nebulizing Diffusers

One of my favorite place to use my nebulizer diffuser is in the bathroom. The reason is simple, it quickly gets essential oils in the air and eliminates odors. I have also enjoyed running it in the bathroom while I am showering. The diffused oil mixes beautifully with the shower steam.

Here is how to use a nebulizing essential oil diffuser:

Step 1: Assemble your glass diffuser

Step 2: Add essential oils into reservoir, approximately 20-25 drops

Step 3: Add glass spout to top and turn on

It is best to set a timer so that the diffuser only runs for about 15 minutes at a time. This helps to conserve oils and it allows the olfactory system time to process the diffused oils.

How to Clean Diffusing Nebulizer - 3 Simple Steps

Once a week you should clean your nebulizer to keep it running well. Consult your diffuser manual for complete instruction for your model (if different type). Here is how to clean a glass essential oil diffuser:

  1. Use a dropper to add a few mls of rubbing alcohol to the glass reservoir.
  2. Turn diffuser on and let run 5-10 minutes to clean the glass tubes.
  3. Dispose of any remaining alcohol and let the glass diffuser air dry.

What Essential Oils Can You Use in a Nebulizer?

I love trying all sorts of essential oils and oil combinations in my diffusers. You can use just about any essential oils with a few exceptions.

Some oils are too thick and heavy to function properly in a glass nebulizing diffusers. Resin oils like myrrh, vetiver, and benzoin are not good options. If you tip your oil bottle over and it takes a super long time for one oil drop to come out...it is too thick.

Since this type of diffuser uses more oil than an ultrasonic diffuser, I like to use affordable essential oils. I do not use my costly oils like frankincense, helichrysum, rose for this diffuser, unless they are in an oil blend.

6 Favorite Essential Oils to Diffuse in a Nebulizer

You can use an aromatherapy nebulizer machine in a bedroom, living room, bathroom, or kitchen.  Here are a few recommendations from me:

1. Eucalyptus Dives Essential Oil - Eucalyptus Dives

Eucalyptus dives essential oil is one of my favorites. It smells both refreshing and revitalizing. I love to use it when I need a mental boost or when I'm feeling congested.

Eucalyptus dives oil is also known for its respiratory benefits, so if you're struggling with a cold or the flu, this oil can be a life-saver!

2. Lavender Essential Oil - Lavandula angustifolia

Are you looking for a way to relax and de-stress? If so, you may want to try diffusing lavender essential oil. Lavender has been shown to have a calming effect on the mind and body, making it a great choice for use before bedtime or when you need to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life.

Diffusing lavender oil is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to enjoy its soothing properties. It is helpful for those suffering from insomnia

3. Lemon Essential Oil - Citrus limon

If you're like me, then you love the smell of lemons. They're such a refreshing scent, and they always make me feel happy. I recently started using lemon essential oil in my diffuser, and it's been such a great addition to my wellness routine.

Lemon oil has so many benefits, including boosting your immune system, improving your mood, and even helping with weight loss. If you're looking for a way to improve your health and well-being, then I highly recommend trying out lemon essential oil in your aromatherapy diffuser. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

4. Grapefruit Essential Oil - Citrus paradisi

If you're looking for a refreshing and energizing scent to diffuse in your home, grapefruit essential oil is a great choice. This oil has a light, citrusy smell that can help boost your mood and improve your focus.

Plus, it's naturally antibacterial and antiseptic, making it perfect for keeping your home free of germs. Diffusing grapefruit oil is a great way to keep your home smelling fresh and feeling energized.

5. Rosemary Essential Oil - Rosmarinus officinalis

If you're looking for a way to improve your wellness, adding rosemary oil to your daily routine might be the answer. This fragrant oil has many benefits, including helping to improve cognitive function and memory. It can also help reduce stress and anxiety levels. Diffusing rosemary essential oil is a great way to enjoy its benefits!

6. Juniper Berry Essential Oil- Juniperus communis

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by stress? If so, consider using juniper essential oil to help calm and relax your mind and body. Juniper oil has a woodsy, earthy scent that can be diffused into the air to promote feelings of peace and well-being.

In addition, juniper berry oil may also be used topically to help ease muscle tension. Diffusing juniper essential oil may just be the relaxation you need!
