Aromatherapy Supplies

Aromatherapy Supplies

Scent goes straight to your brain, bypassing all the blocks and filters of the conscious mind. Aromatherapy reflects that fact by taking essential oils and spreading them throughout the air you breathe. Like other natural alternative remedies, it lets your body do the work naturally. Essential oils do not evaporate quickly, so one of the purposes of aromatherapy supplies is getting the oil from the vial to the atmosphere.

Vaporisers

Vaporisers are simple enough to understand; they use a heat source that generates steam to carry the active product into the air where you can take advantage of it. The problem for aromatherapy is that too much heat causes essential oils to break down, losing their efficacy. Vaporisers work best with inhaled medicines.

Humidifiers

Humidifiers are designed to add moisture to a room, they work by passing air through a moisture chamber so that it picks up water molecules and spreads them into the atmosphere. When looking for humidifier aromatherapy supplies it's important to be aware that not all humidifiers are designed to work with essential oils, and so it's important to check the materials. They are very helpful with dry throats, though.

Diffusers

Diffuser aromatherapy supplies are often the first choice for people looking for a long term solution. These devices use ultrasonics to convert a mixture of water and essential oils into mist that spreads into the air. Because they don't use heat, the molecules don't break down, so the oils last longer.

Choosing Oils

Once you have your delivery method, your next step is to find the right essential oils. This is an intensely personal matter, so it's best to start off with a sampler that offers a wide variety of oils. Try them out and see what you like, then order more of the ones you like best. Don't forget to try different concentrations, so you can find out what works best in your individual situation.
