Essential oil Diffusers- Ultrasonic or Nebuliser

My First Discovery of Essential Oil Diffusers: A Journey to Everyday Calm

Do you remember the first time you walked into a room and were instantly swept away by a beautiful scent? For me, it happened in 2017, when I visited a friend’s home. As soon as I stepped through her door, I was greeted by the most calming aroma—soft, floral, and utterly mesmerising. I couldn’t help but ask, “What is that amazing smell?” That’s when she introduced me to the magic of essential oils in a diffuser.

She showed me this little device quietly misting in the corner, gently filling the air with pure plant goodness. I was hooked from that very moment! I knew I wanted to bring that same sense of peace and wellness into my own home, and that’s where my love affair with essential oil diffusers truly began.

Why Diffuse Essential Oils?

Diffusing essential oils is now a daily ritual for me and for so many others who want to create a home that feels calm, fresh, and welcoming. Inhaling essential oils is actually the quickest way to enjoy their benefits—whether you’re looking to relax, boost your mood, clear your mind, or simply freshen up your space. Oils like lavender and cedarwood help me unwind before bed, while peppermint and lemon are my go-tos for focus and clarity during busy days.

Choosing the Right Diffuser

When I started, I had no idea there were different types of diffusers! The most common is the ultrasonic diffuser, which uses water and essential oil to create a gentle, cool mist. It’s perfect for everyday use and even adds a touch of humidity to dry rooms. For a stronger aroma, there are nebulising diffusers, which use pure essential oil and no water—great for larger spaces or when you want a more intense scent. (A little tip: if you’re sensitive to strong smells or have pets or kids, start with an ultrasonic diffuser and always use pure, high-quality oils.)

How Much Oil Should You Use?

One of the most common questions I get is, “How many drops should I add?” My rule of thumb:

For a 100 mL diffuser, start with 5–8 drops.

For 200–300 mL, try 8–12 drops.

For larger diffusers, 12–20 drops should do the trick.

Remember, some oils are stronger than others, so start small and add more if you like a bolder scent.

Making Diffusing Safe and Enjoyable

It’s important to use essential oils thoughtfully. Always diffuse in a well-ventilated room, and keep sessions to about 20–30 minutes at a time. If you have little ones or pets, use fewer drops and let them leave the room if they want. And yes, always choose oils from trusted, reputable brands—quality matters!

My Go-To Blends and Tips

Some of my favourite blends for the diffuser:

For relaxation: Lavender + Cedarwood

For energy: Lemon + Peppermint

For clear breathing: Eucalyptus + Rosemary

And if you ever stop noticing the scent, don’t worry—it’s just your nose getting used to it! Step outside for a bit, or try a new blend to “reset” your senses.

Bringing Wellness Home

Since that first magical moment in my friend’s home, diffusing essential oils has become a cornerstone of my wellness routine. It’s such a simple way to create a sanctuary, support your mood, and care for your family naturally.

If you’re just starting out, some popular essential oils to try with your diffuser include Lavender for relaxation, Peppermint for energy and focus, Lemon for a fresh uplifting scent, and Eucalyptus for clear breathing. These oils are widely loved and a great way to begin exploring the benefits of diffusing.
