Ahh, the beautiful and enticing scent of Lavender Essential Oil is unmistakable! In fact, Lavender is probably considered the world’s most popular Essential Oil! This is because it is so incredibly versatile and contains so many therapeutic benefits. And, of course, it smells so good! But, did you notice that REVIVE actually sells 4 different types of Lavender Essential Oil? So, how do you know which one to choose? Well, we are here to break it down for you, so please read on.
What exactly is Lavender Essential Oil?
When people say Lavender, that is just a general term for the fragrant and floral plant that many know and love. The genus Lavandula currently has over 450 varieties that fall into 45 species! The two most common species are angustifolia and x intermedia (aka Lavindin). Most plants are the color lavender that we think of, but did you know that this flower can actually be dark purple, pink, gray, and even white?
The Essential Oil itself is steam distilled from the flowers of the Lavender bush. In general, when the oil is being sold as Lavender, it is usually angustifolia. This variety is known to be the most therapeutic, most readily available, and most widely used oil. But, it is important to note that where this plant is grown affects the oil as well. And that is why there are often different Lavender Essential Oils for purchase.
On REVIVE’s website, our “Lavender” oil is our most common and best-selling version. This is Lavandula angustifolia that was grown in Bulgaria. This area has become a world leader in Lavender production because of the well drained sandy soil and the sunny weather conditions. This type of Lavender is rich in linalool and linalyl acetate which makes it great for reducing stress, promoting sleep, easing inflammation, and fighting free radicals. It is also incredible for soothing skin. It is the version of Lavender Essential Oil that most people think of when they think of Lavender. The scent of this variation is sweet, soft, and herbaceous.
This variety of Lavender is also Lavandula angustifolia, but it is 100% USDA Certified Organic. This means that there have been no pesticides or fertilizers used. It also means that they make sure the farm is promoting ecological balance and following conservation regulations. It has the same therapeutic profile as REVIVE’s Lavender and a similar scent. It is, however, grown in Greece, which has the same climate and terrain as Bulgaria.
Like the name says, this type of Lavender (which is also Lavandula angustifolia) comes from France. Because these flowers are grown in a higher altitude and cooler temperatures, it has a higher ester profile. This creates an aroma that is more intensely floral and green. It also makes for an uber relaxing Essential Oil. French Lavender oil is ideal for promoting stress relief and balancing emotions. It is also a wonderful antibacterial, making it a good choice for soap or cleaning products.
Spike Lavender is a completely different variety called Lavandula latifolia. This oil also originates from flowers grown in France. The scent profile of Spike Lavender is much more camphoraceous and herbal, but with a slightly woody undertone. Latifolia is considered to be a “soapier” smell, and many relate it to Eucalyptus or Rosemary because of its stronger and more medicinal aroma. The chemical background of this version makes it great for calming muscle spasms and killing bacteria.
Our French Lavandin/Grosso (aka Lavandula x intermedia) is a hybrid of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and Spike Lavender. This results in a sweet and floral scent that is a bit more herbaceous and camphor-like. Because it contains both types of Lavender, it also holds the therapeutic qualities of both. We love this variety for its ability to ease inflammation and soothe the respiratory system. Additionally, Lavandin is an effective insect repellent due to its stronger aroma.
Other Lavender Options
When it comes to Lavender, there are other ways to use it besides just the pure Essential Oil. REVIVE has a ready to use Lavender Roll-on for topical applications that contains our most popular Lavender Essential Oil premixed with Fractionated Coconut Oil. This means that you can easily roll the safely diluted product directly on your skin as needed. Additionally, we offer a Lavender Hydrosol. This is the byproduct of distilling the Essential Oil and is often referred to as floral water. We love hydrosol for super safe topical use and fast, fresh aromatic uses. It is great for the skin, but also a quick spritz can help calm the mind.
Choosing REVIVE
Now that you know the similarities and differences of the types of Lavender oils, you can more easily make your decision on which to choose. One thing is clear, that when you do choose your oils, you can count on REVIVE. With over 1300 five star reviews, affordable prices, and 100% pure therapeutic oils, there is no doubt that this company is the right choice. And when you are looking for other Essential Oils and Blends, REVIVE has those too!
How to Use REVIVE Healthy Hair and Conditioning Hair Treatment Together
When it comes to having healthy hair and that lush beautiful mane that you desire, a routine is very important. Additionally, choosing the right products can also help you create huge strides in hair health. If you are looking to improve hair growth, texture, and overall well-being, then we have some great advice for you.
What is REVIVE Healthy Hair?
You may or may not have heard about REVIVE’s top-selling 5 star product, Healthy Hair, but let us tell you, it is definitely one to know! This incredible item is a mixture of 7 carrier oils and 8 Essential Oils that are beneficial for scalp and hair health. It is a multi-tasking blend that helps to soothe and moisturize your scalp while stimulating new growth. It also aids in preventing breakage and minimizing hair loss. We recommend using this product daily if you are wanting to encourage more growth and thicker, fuller hair.
Plant oils have historically been used because of their ability to naturally nourish and restore hair. REVIVE has created a wonderful conditioning hair treatment harnessing the power of these oils to feed and replenish your lovely locks. This serum was formulated to actually penetrate the hair cuticles and infuse it with necessary vitamins that will moisturize and repair the strands. Conditioning Hair Treatment is meant to be used away from the scalp, as the hair follicles contain more sebum, it is only needed further down where breakage begins. It will sink into the hair and create a protein bond in the cortex, essentially healing from the inside out. We recommend using this serum daily on clean, damp hair when your mane is dry, damaged, or breaking.
When it comes to the whole picture of hair health, these 2 items are not only integral, but complimentary. For a well balanced scalp and new hair growth, Healthy Hair can be applied daily to the head and roots of hair to stimulate circulation. At the same time, Conditioning Hair Treatment can be applied to the lower part of the hair strands focusing on the ends to repair damage. Both of these products can be used everyday and in conjunction with each other. Keep in mind that cell turnover is every 28 days, so you will start seeing a noticeable improvement about 1 month in, with even more improvement showing at about 3 the month mark.
Quality Ingredients
One thing to remember is that not all products are created equal. Sure, you may see some of these ingredients in other options online, but using genuine therapeutic Essential Oils and high quality carrier oils is key! REVIVE oils have been 3rd party GC/MS tested to prove that they are pure. And not only that… they are affordable to boot. So when you are looking to naturally improve the health of your hair, or your body, look to REVIVE.
There are many types of diffusers out there, and each of them are great for different reasons. We explain in this article about the styles and benefits of each. But when it comes to passive diffusers, we have all the extra details you need right here.
What is a Passive Aromatherapy Diffuser?
The biggest benefit of passive diffusers (or sometimes called evaporative diffusers) is that you do not need any power source such as electricity or batteries. So, essentially they gently diffuse the aroma of your oils using either natural evaporation or air flow. Most of the time, passive diffusers absorb the Essential Oils and slowly the scent releases into the air around it. You might see them made from clay, lava, wood, cotton, or ceramic.
How do you Use a Passive Diffuser?
Using a passive diffuser is incredibly easy and straightforward. All you need to do is put your chosen Essential Oils or Blend onto the absorbent part of the product and let the scent dissipate into the environment. One thing to note is that the scent of the oils will be more subtle than with an active diffuser like an electric ultrasonic model. This is because of the nature of this style. It is much more personal and intimate.
REVIVE’s Ceramic Diffusers like the Flower or the Gnome are meant to be a beautiful and decorative addition to your home that also offers the functional benefits of aromatherapy. These types of diffusers generally require about 5 to 8 drops of oil to generate enough scent. Keep in mind that softer aromas might need more drops.
REVIVE’s Lava Stone Diffuser Bracelet is a really great way to use your oils on the go. Simply adding 2 to 3 drops of oil to the lava jewelry is enough to get a day’s worth of personal, portable scent. The Branch Diffuser by REVIVE is the easiest way to diffuse your beloved Essential Oils in your car! Instead of choosing a store-bought hanging tree or “candle” brand freshener, the Branch is just as effective to scent your car but without the toxins. One of the best parts about this diffuser is that it clips into your air vent so the rushing heat or air conditioning moves the smell along into the cabin of the car. We recommend at least 5 drops of oil on the wick, but many of our customers report using 10-15 drops of oil to get the strength of scent that they desire
How Long Does the Scent Last?
The scent of the oils on this type of diffuser typically lasts a few days. Because Essential Oils naturally begin to dissipate when exposed to oxygen, it will also depend on which oils are used, the amount, and the size of the diffuser. Blends with heavier base notes have bigger molecules that may linger longer, while lighter oils like citrus will diminish quicker. Air temperature and conditions can also come into play here. If you have your heat on high and the air is drier, the oils will tend to diminish quicker as well.
No worries though, all you need to do is add more oils!
What are the Benefits of a Passive Diffuser?
One of our favorite things about a passive diffuser is that it supplies a more continuous and subtle release of fragrance creating a wonderful ambiance in any room. Additionally, it is a great option for an area that does not have electricity. As you know, many Essential Oils are antibacterial and antimicrobial, so just having this in your space can help to freshen the air and kill germs. Another thing to note is that if you are sensitive to light or sound, it is helpful to know that passive diffusers are silent and do not contain any light emitting sources. Lastly, because passive diffusers have a milder and more contained scent, they are great for pet owners or family members of those with sensitivities.
How do you Clean your Passive Diffuser?
If you always plan on using the same oil on your diffuser, then you really have no need for cleaning it. But, if you want to avoid the intermingling of scents, it may be an integral part of using a passive style diffuser. To clean a ceramic model like the gnome, you can simply soak it in warm water and gently scrub it with a gentle, unscented soap and then let it air dry. This would work well for the lava bracelet as well, just be careful not to damage the elastic. For wick style diffusers like The Branch, you don’t need to clean anything at all. Just switch out your cotton wick as needed when you want to use a different scent.
As you can see, passive diffusers are an inexpensive and useful tool for your Essential Oils. So, now that you know more about them, give them a try!
Who doesn’t love having their home filled with a beautiful scent? Whether it be for deodorizing, mood, or to create a comforting atmosphere, having your Essential Oils in the air can help with so many things. Because of this, the use of Essential Oil Diffusers has gained traction in contemporary wellness practices, as well as everyday home use.
What Exactly is an Essential Oil Diffuser?
In general, diffusers are devices to disperse Essential Oils into the air. They are often very cost effective because just a few drops of oil can last for several hours. Additionally, they are actually pretty easy to use once you know how.
Essential Oil (or Aromatherapy) Diffusers can be categorized into a few different types. Each of them uses unique mechanisms to deploy the aromatic compounds of the oils. The most common kinds of diffusers are ultrasonic, passive/evaporative, cool mist, heat, and nebulizers.
Essential Oil Diffusers: What are the Different Types?
Whether you have a simple tea light candle diffuser or an electric ultrasonic diffuser, proper use is key. Here we will describe how to use each kind to achieve all of the benefits that Essential Oils have to offer.
Passive/Evaporative Diffusers
These types of diffusers are very simple and essentially the easiest to use, but they also have a lighter and less consistent aroma. Basically, these types of diffusers just rely on natural evaporation of Essential Oils. Examples of passive or evaporative diffusers are reed diffusers, ceramic pieces like the REVIVE Passive Flower Diffuser, lava stone jewelry like REVIVE’s Black Lava Stone Bracelet, or cotton applications like REVIVE Branch Diffuser. To use, simply put a drop or two of your Essential Oils onto the absorbent material and inhale the beautiful scent as it wafts off of the item. These are a good choice for the office when you want to reduce stress, you can use these Essential Oils to calm and relax. You can re-apply as desired for more or different scents.
Heat Diffusers
This next style of diffuser is another somewhat simple way to diffuse oils and most of the time without electricity. A very basic way of using heat for diffusion would be adding Essential Oils to a bowl of warm water. Many people will do this for steam inhalation when they are feeling stuffed up using these Essential Oils for Congestion. Another basic way of heat diffusion is a tea light diffuser. These are often a cute ceramic or terracotta piece with a tea candle in the base and a reservoir on top. By adding a bit of water and a couple drops of oil in the top and lighting the candle, the gentle heat will warm the oil and create a nice aroma for a small space. Other times, you may see light bulb rings or plug in diffusers as heat options as well. These are great to use too as long as you do not overheat your Essential Oils. Once they get over 100 degrees, the therapeutic benefits start to dissipate.
Ultrasonic and Cool Mist Diffusers
Even though they are not exactly the same thing, cool mist and ultrasonic diffusers work very similarly and create the same type of result. These types of diffusers use sound frequency or vibration to create a fine mist that disperses into the air. No heat is needed for this, but they do need to be either plugged in like the REVIVE Halo Diffuser or charged with a USB like the REVIVE Air Personal Mist Diffuser.
One of the greatest aspects of this type of diffuser is that they often have several different lighting options for ambiance, as well as settings for intermittent diffusion. Because of this, we love this type of diffuser best.
Nebulizing Diffusers
Unlike most of the diffusers we have already discussed, nebulizers do not use any water or heat. They force a stream of air through a small tube that contains Essential Oil. Then this airstream turns into a fine mist that distributes the aromatherapy throughout your space. This generally is the strongest smelling option but the downfall of these diffusers is that they are usually the most expensive and they use up your oils a little quicker.
Benefits of Using an Essential Oil Diffuser
The incorporation of Essential Oils in a diffuser used in your home has so many incredible benefits. It can have great psychological, physiological, and spiritual benefits. In addition to that, it can actually improve the air that you breathe!
Improved Mood: The chemical compounds the Essential Oils that you diffuse can help change your state of mind. When diffusing citrus oils, you can feel uplifted and energized, while diffusing woodsy oils, you can feel more grounded or reduce stress.
Improved Physical Health: The therapeutic benefits of diffusing Essential Oils can also affect you physically. For example, if you diffuse Eucalyptus or Laurel, they can help to clear congestion and reduce inflammation.
Create Ambiance: Diffusing nostalgic or comforting Essential Oils can set the tone for your space. Whether you are trying to promote some holiday cheer or emulate baked goods, those scrumptious smelling oils in the atmosphere are a perfect touch.
Better Sleep: If you have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep at night, diffusing sedative oils by your bed can really be beneficial. Utilizing REVIVE sleep blends or creating your own blends like these, can really promote better relaxation and reduce insomnia.
Cleaner Air: If you diffuse antimicrobial or antiviral Essential Oils, they can naturally remove many germs from the space and even help kill airborne viruses. REVIVE offers some great pre-blended options or you can check out these options for cold and flu season.
How to Use and Essential Oil Diffuser: 5 Quick Steps to Getting Started
Choose Your Diffusers: First, pick what diffuser you want to use. REVIVE has some of the BEST diffusers in the industry! We really love the ultrasonics for the flexibility and setting options.
Plug it in if Applicable: When using an electric diffuser, be sure to plug it in.
Fill it with Water: Most Essential Oil Diffusers (aside from nebulizers) will need to be filled with some water. According to package directions, add the correct amount of water needed.
Choose your Oils & Add them to the Diffuser: Depending on your goal for diffusion, choose what single oils or blends you would like to use and add them in. Most diffusers call for only 3-5 drops!
Pick your Setting & Enjoy the Benefits: If your diffuser has an intermittent setting or a timing setting, now is when you would decide which one you would like. Turn it on and reap the benefits of aromatherapy!
Cleaning your Diffuser
Regular maintenance of your diffuser is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Your diffuser will come with an instruction guide, so definitely follow their guidelines. But, in general, it basically involves just rinsing the reservoir and wiping it down as needed. Every few weeks, you may want to wipe it down thoroughly with vinegar to remove any built up residue.
Diffuser FAQ’s
Is it okay to diffuse everyday?
Yes, Essential Oils are a healthy way to add scent to your home and an easy way to get their benefits. We do, however, recommend limiting the amount of time per day or using an intermittent setting so that you do not experience nose blindness.
Do you put hot or cold water in the diffuser?
Cool or room temperature water is best.
Can you use any Essential Oil in your Diffuser?
Yes, you can use any pure Essential Oils or blends. But please ensure they are genuine oils like REVIVE carries.
Can I use a diffuser as a humidifier?
Even though diffusers have water in them, it is not meant to be a humidifier. The amount of water that comes out is not a significant amount.
How many drops of oil do you put in your diffuser?
Follow your instruction guide for exact recommendations. Most regular size diffusers only require 3-5 drops, but some larger diffusers call for 5-10 drops of oil.
How do I know what type of diffuser to get?
Well, what do you like? Many people choose their diffuser based on style or look. You may also want to consider where you will be using it. If it is in your car, the Branch or Pebble diffusers are great options. If it is for your child’s room, you might love Harry the Hedgehog. Or if you are trying to fill your whole living room, you would love the Valencia.
Final Thoughts on How to Use an Essential Oil Diffuser
As you can see, Essential Oil Diffusers are a wonderful way to use your oils and a great addition to your home. They can make it so easy to get the benefits of your therapeutic oils. Of course, we recommend the amazing diffusers and Essential Oils/blends that REVIVE offers, but they do offer some other great options like easy to use roll-on blends and some incredible CBD products. No matter what your aromatherapy need, REVIVE is here for you.
What are the different essential oil diffuser types? As you may know after conducting a bit of research, there are quite a few different styles out there. So – which do you pick? Out of all the types of essential oil diffusers, which is the best at promoting therapeutic effects?
There are different factors you should weigh before making your choice – and we’re here to help you with that. Below, we list the different essential oil diffuser types and review which diffuser boasts the best efficiency for the desired benefits of aromatherapy. Let’s get started with a brief overview of the purpose of essential oil diffusers.
A Brief Overview of the Purpose of Essential Oil Diffusers
Essential oil diffusers are used to diffuse essential oils into the air. They can then be inhaled to access aromatherapy properties they have to offer.
For example, many relaxing essential oil blends can soothe and relax the body naturally when inhaled, reducing stress and anxiety. They are often used in spas to increase relaxation during massages, facials, and other types of spa treatments.
However, these are also used in homes, office, and other spaces around the world for the very same benefits. They can also be used to promote focus during the workday, encourage sleep at night, and provide delectable aromas throughout the entire room.
There is an outstanding range of essential oil diffuser benefits and usages that many people are unaware of, like optimal essential oil frequencies and using different blends to help you stop smoking, increase fertility, or to promote antiseptic effects as the scents interact with the body’s limbic system.
And while topical application will always have its place, there are benefits to the hands-off, automated approach to using essential oils in a diffuser. With an essential oil diffuser, the diffused molecules of essential oils are inhaled, interacting with the olfactory nerves to reach the brain and promote impactful benefits – without you having to stop what you’re doing!
Why Choosing the Right Essential Oil Diffuser Type is so Important
Choosing the best essential oil diffuser is vital to getting the most out of your product. After all, you want the most favorable restorative benefits from your essential oils, whether to relieve anxiety, boost energy, or improve sleep.
A high-quality product will promote the most efficient diffusion method of essential oils so that you can reap the benefits. Because essential oils can be costly, you need a diffuser that helps you get the most out of them. Different diffusers may cost less but can change the chemical composition of the essential oils and negate the health benefits.
With that said, we’ll detail the different types of essential oil diffusers below and help you determine which one is the most recommended for top-notch efficiency.
So – What are the Different Types of Essential Oil Diffusers?
So, what are the different essential oil diffuser types? Below we go into detail on the other essential oil diffuser types, their effectiveness, and their pros and cons as a diffuser!
Ultrasonic
The most popular of all the diffusers, the ultrasonic essential oil diffuser utilizes electronic frequencies to produce a mist from a combination of water and essential oil.
The design of this specific diffuser powers the ultrasonic vibrations with a small disk found under the surface of the water. This disk breaks up the essential oil and water into micro-particles so they can be diffused into the air as a mist.
Compared to other essential oil diffusers, the ultrasonic diffuser requires less essential oil, meaning the lifespan of each bottle of essential oil is extended, saving you money in the long run.
Unfortunately, if the diffuser is made from plastic, the oils will eventually damage the diffuser, requiring another investment sometime in the future. They may also require some background knowledge on essential oil diffuser cleaning, as water usage increases the risk of potential mold.
Nebulizing
A nebulizing essential oil diffuser does not require heat or water to operate. Instead, this nifty product uses a highly pressurized air stream to atomize essential oils before they are distributed into the air.
As no heat is applied in the diffusing process, the chemical structure of the essential oil remains unaltered so that you can reap the full range of therapeutic health benefits of the oils in their purest form.
Evaporative
An evaporative essential oil diffuser uses air flow to blow essential oil’s scent into the air. The design of the diffuser typically utilizes a pad, wick, or filter for essential oils to be added. Then the fan blows air through the pad or filter to evaporate the oils and spread them throughout the space. This process also evaporates the oil faster than other diffusers, dispersing the essential oils more quickly.
There is a second type of evaporative diffuser. Instead of a fan, it utilizes the existing air current in the room to subtly diffuse the essential oils into the space.
A drawback of evaporative diffusers is that the delivery of essential oils is often unbalanced. This is because the lighter portions evaporate and disperse immediately compared to the heavier portions, disrupting the therapeutic qualities of the essential oils.
Heat
Similar to how evaporative diffusers use air to distribute essential oils, this type of diffuser uses heat to distribute the essential oils into the area. However, compared to low-quality heat diffusers, higher-quality heat diffusers use lower temperatures to gradually evaporate the essential oils to prevent altering the chemical structure of the oils and negating the desired therapeutic effects.
Like evaporative diffusers, the drawback to heat diffusers is the uneven distribution of essential oils into the air. Some common types of heat diffusers include candle and lamp ring diffusers, though there are other types of heat-based tools used to create a soothing atmosphere with calming scents. For example, candles. And in our article, oil diffuser vs candle, we go into the pros and cons of using a candle versus an essential oil diffuser.

What is the Best Essential Oil Diffuser on the Market in 2022?
Are you looking for the best aromatherapy diffuser on the market in 2022? You’ve come to the right place – we’re going to show you the top options currently available at Revive. Whether you’re looking for the best essential oil diffuser for your car or your bedroom, your office or your living room – you’ll find an awesome pick here on this page.
Day-to-day life can produce high anxiety and stress. This anxiety can lead to an eventual decline in your quality of life. But there are simple things you can do to help restore sanity to your daily routine. One of these things is using a diffuser for essential oils in your space.
But what is the best essential oil diffuser on the market? In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about the topic with some tips for finding the best aromatherapy diffuser for your needs.
The Role of Your Essential Oil Diffuser
There are two ways you can use essential oils: topically or through aromatherapy. The latter requires the use of a specialized diffuser. The reason we love this approach – as do many others – is that it spreads the incredible scents and therapeutic effects of your oils throughout your space. This is perhaps the biggest benefits of essential oil diffuser.
When comparing a diffuser vs candle, you’ll notice that a diffuser offers more therapeutic benefits with none of the health or safety risks, either.
The way it works is that when the aromas of the essential oil are inhaled they interact with your limbic system. The limbic system governs our emotions and behaviors.
This interaction can have several benefits. There are many relaxing essential oil blends that will help you loosen up after a long day. Essential oils derived from lavender oil can help with stress and pain, and can even help you sleep.
Your essential oil diffuser is what spreads the aroma throughout the desired space. To maximize these benefits, you want the best aromatherapy diffuser that you can get on the market.
Why You Need the Best Aromatherapy Diffuser Possible
It is entirely possible to put your essential oils into boiling water or on your stovetop to heat them as part of your diffusion system. But doing this can be counterproductive and waste your money.
These methods are inefficient – the dispersal is limited, and it is not concentrated. In addition, the heat may burn off any therapeutic value that your oils have.
Likewise, a cheap diffuser does not do much better. Why risk throwing away money on inefficient diffusers? When considering which diffuser to buy, you want the best essential oil diffuser you can get.
Quality will give you a better experience and maximize the money you spend on essential oils by diffusing them more effectively. You spend good money on your essential oil blends and organic essential oils – why not elevate the experience with the best essential oil diffuser possible?
How to Get the Best Essential Oil Diffuser for Home Use: Buying Guide
Buying the best aromatherapy diffuser is a matter of considering your needs before you go out shopping. If you are looking for the best essential oil diffuser for home, here are some tips to help you select the best product for you.
Start By Considering the Size of Your Space
One of the great things about essential oil diffusion is that you can do it anywhere – your home, your office, or in your car. However, different diffusers do different jobs, and it is important to consider the size space that you want to affect.
When searching for the best essential oil diffuser for small space or the best essential oil diffuser for car, consider that using the diffuser in a confined space may result in an overpowering fragrance. This can be resolved by using less oil in your diffuser or using a diffuser specifically designed for that space. You should consider using passive diffusers or ultrasonic diffusers which create a more subtle diffusion.
If you are looking for the best essential oil diffuser for large space, it is important to note that the larger the area, the less coverage that your diffuser can offer. However, there are techniques that you can use to help you cover these larger areas, such as turning on your diffuser’s heavy/strong mist setting if it has one.
While using this will drain your oil quicker, it will make the diffusion more concentrated. Using multiple diffusers and placing them strategically will also help. If you are trying to cover an area of 1,000 square feet, use two diffusers, and place them near the center, evenly spaced out towards the walls.
Simple, Subtle Designs vs Flashy, Fun Designs
It’s your diffuser – how do you want to express yourself? A diffuser can be more than just a fixture in your house. Your diffuser is made to improve your health – it should be something that resonates with you at a deeper level as well.
There are a wide variety of diffusers on the market with different designs. If you want a simple look to blend in with your home, there are styles for that – a subtle look can fit the feng shui of any household with little effort. But if you want to have a flashy, fun design, those are available too.
The key to considering which diffuser you buy, however, is whether that particular design is the best aromatherapy diffuser you can get. A good business will give you the ability to express yourself without sacrificing quality.
Factor in How the Diffuser Works: Ultrasonic vs Passive
There are many types of diffusers, but let’s consider two for a moment: Ultrasonic and Passive.
Ultrasonic diffusers use ultrasonic vibrations (hence the name) to disperse essential oils. The vibrations break the oil up and allow the oil to mix with the water to create a cool mist, with no heat or mess involved. They are not noisy and work very subtly in the background.
Even more subtle is passive diffusion. With passive diffusion, nothing is acting on the oils to push molecules into the air. The evaporation occurs naturally, making a soft scent. Passive diffusion offers the benefits of an easy and inexpensive setup while still giving you the benefits of essential oils.
You are likely to find the best essential oil diffuser for small space uses in either of these diffusion methods. Because they are subtle, you will not have to worry about the fragrance overpowering you, and you will still get the benefits of aromatherapy. These diffusers are non-intrusive and work well anywhere in your home and office.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Diffuser
Purchasing the best essential oil diffuser is an investment in your comfort and emotional well-being. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your essential oil diffuser.
Only Use Pure, High-Quality Essential Oils
You are using an essential oil diffuser to help promote your well-being. In the same way that you would not use a low-quality diffuser, why would you use low-quality or impure oils? Carrier oils should be organic – some companies use chemically made oils to save a dollar. The result is that you, the end customer, are put at risk with low-quality oils that can make your health worse.
Buy essential oils from a reputable source. Revive offers quality essential oils, and can give you advice on how to build your own essential oil set. Our oils are lab-tested, and at budget-friendly prices made with you in mind.
Our products are also put into complementary sets designed to offer you the best value. We have a set for whatever concern you have; or if you simply want a pleasing fragrance, we have that for you too!
We provide only the highest quality products – don’t settle for a cheap oil made from impure ingredients.
In addition to purchasing the best essential oil diffuser, cleaning essential oil diffuseris an important part of maintaining your equipment. Ignoring this little chore can result in gunk buildup or problems with the scent emitted by your diffuser, and in general, it causes it to function less efficiently. Caked-up oil can even cause damage to the ultrasonic plate, ultimately breaking the product.
We recommend that after you use the diffuser, discard the water-oil mixture, fill it up with clean water and turn it back on for 2-3 minutes. Once this is done, you can toss the water and wipe the inside of the diffuser with a cloth or dry cotton swab.

Essential Oils For Beginners: Everything You Need To Know
You’ve been hearing a lot about Essential Oils lately. Maybe you want to learn how to use essential oils for beginners. You see Aromatherapy recipes online and your friends are using oils daily… so you have decided it’s time to take the plunge.
But where do you start? What Essential Oils should you invest in? And how do they even work? You’ve got questions, and we’ve got the answers. REVIVE is here to help.
Today, we’ll go over our guide to essential oils for beginners. We’ll cover what these essential oils are, and what they can do for you. Then, we’ll explain all the different ways you can use them. At the very end of this essential oils for beginners guide, we’ll disclose the #1 place to find essential oil online.
What are Essential Oils?
Our guide to essential oils for beginners obviously needs to start with a quick essential oil definition. What is essential oil in the first place? Where does it come from?
The most basic explanation is that Essential Oils are therapeutic extracts from plants. They are produced by steaming or pressing plant matter like flowers, stems, roots, resins, or wood. The result is a very potent liquid that contains the chemical compounds representative of the plant they have come from.
These volatile essences smell strong and have components that can affect us physically, mentally, and emotionally. Historically, Essential Oils have been used for centuries and are even mentioned in the Bible. This is known as aromatherapy.
What is Essential Oil Aromatherapy?
The process of using Essential Oils for their therapeutic benefits is called Aromatherapy. The Essential Oils encourage holistic healing of the mind, body, and spirit.
Aromatherapy has a rich history based in many cultures including the Ancient Greeks, Indian Ayurvedic medicine, and even the Egyptians. But its most recent definition comes from an accidental discovery in 1937. French perfumer, René-Maurice Gattefossé used Lavender essential oil on a burn he had on his hand and realized that it did not scar. He had already been using Essential Oils in his perfumes, but when he discovered that he did not contract gas gangrene, he devoted the rest of his life to understanding and educating about the healing properties of Essential Oils.
Today, Aromatherapy is used daily by many of the people in your life – you just may not realize it. It is now considered a true union of both art and science. As more and more people discover the healing power essential oil has, we will continue to see aromatherapy increase in popularity.
But, how do you go about actually using essential oils? There are a few different ways. Let’s take a look.
How do you use Essential Oils?
Don’t let the common phrase, “there’s an essential oil for that” overwhelm you. Yes, Essential Oils can be used in countless ways, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. The quickest and most popular way to use them is still the easiest… inhalation.
Inhaling Essential Oils
the process of inhaling Essential Oils into the nose where they travel along the cilia and enter the olfactory. This is when the message gets sent to the limbic system and your brain determines how to react to a certain situation.
There are a few ways you can inhale essential oils. It can be as simple as smelling the oils right from the bottle. But for a more hands-free approach, use a diffuser. A few drops of essential oil in your aromatherapy diffuser will not only deliver rapid therapeutic effects. It will have your whole home or office space smelling delicious. You can also consider putting the oils on a piece of diffuser jewelry, or using a nasal inhaler.
Topically Applying Essential Oils
When using Essential Oils topically (on the skin), you get the benefits through both inhalation and absorption. The molecular weight of Essential Oil is small enough that it penetrates the dermis and enters our bodies.
The benefit of this is that we can get long-term use of the oils and we can use them for physical issues. You can also spot treat areas to target specific ailments.
One important thing to remember here is that it is best to use a “carrier oil” when using your oils topically. Essential Oils are incredibly potent and many of them can irritate the skin when used alone. A carrier oil helps dilute your pure essential oil.
Ways to use topically: add Essential Oils to an unscented lotion, nut, or seed oil and apply to skin. You can do this to aid a physical need or in addition to a massage, compress, or bath.
