When it comes to diffusing essential oils, there are two main types of diffusers: active and passive. While active diffusers use electricity to disperse essential oils into the air, passive diffusers rely on natural methods to release the aroma of essential oils.
Active vs. Passive Diffusers
Active diffusers, such as ultrasonic diffusers and nebulizing diffusers, use electricity to break down essential oils into tiny particles and disperse them into the air. These diffusers are often more powerful and can cover a larger area than passive diffusers. However, they require a power source and can be noisy.
Passive diffusers, on the other hand, rely on natural methods to release the aroma of essential oils. This can include diffuser pendants & jewelry, reed diffusers, and aroma stones. These diffusers do not require a power source and are often more convenient to use.
Benefits of Passive Diffusion
Passive diffusers offer several benefits over active diffusers.
Convenient to Use – Passive diffusers are often more convenient to use than active diffusers. They do not require a power source, so you can use them anywhere, anytime. They are also portable and easy to take with you on-the-go.
Gentle Aroma – Passive diffusers release a gentle aroma of essential oils, which can be perfect for creating a relaxing and calming atmosphere. The aroma is not as strong as that of active diffusers, making it more suitable for use in small spaces or for people who are sensitive to strong scents.
Less Risk – Passive diffusers do not use heat or electricity, so there is less risk of fire or electrical hazards. They are also safer to use around children and pets.
Passive diffusers offer a convenient and safe way to enjoy the benefits of essential oils. They are easy to use, gentle on the senses, and can be used in a variety of settings. With a little creativity and experimentation, you can create your own unique blends to suit your mood and needs.
How To Use Your Passive Oil Diffuser
- Find a scent that you enjoy
- Place a few drops on your pendant and let the oil absorb into the ceramic
- Hang your pendant somewhere you want to enjoy the subtle aroma
- Refresh with oil every couple of days
- Note: take care where you hang the pendant that any surplus oil does not drip off the pendant onto surrounding items
