Aroma lamp

An aroma lamp, also known as a diffuser, is a device used to disperse essential oils into the air. These lamps are commonly used in aromatherapy to create a pleasant atmosphere and to promote well-being. Aroma lamps can be found in various designs and are typically made from materials such as ceramic, glass, or metal.

Types of Aroma Lamps[edit | edit source]

There are several types of aroma lamps, each with its own method of dispersing essential oils:

  • Tea light aroma lamps: These lamps use a small tea light candle to heat a bowl of water mixed with essential oils. The heat from the candle causes the oil to evaporate and disperse into the air.
  • Electric aroma lamps: These lamps use an electric heating element to warm the essential oils. They are often equipped with adjustable settings to control the intensity of the aroma.
  • Ultrasonic diffusers: These devices use ultrasonic waves to create a fine mist of water and essential oils, which is then released into the air. Ultrasonic diffusers do not use heat, making them a safer option for continuous use.

Uses and Benefits[edit | edit source]

Aroma lamps are widely used in aromatherapy for their potential health benefits, which may include:

  • Clean the lamp regularly to prevent the buildup of residue.
