Essential oil - diffusers, nebulizers or old school traditional oil burner

5 replies

In the past I have used the traditional oil burner, ceramic with a tea light candle.

I have been thinking of trying the oil diffusers but am worried about the humidifying aspects as my house is prone to damp .

Seems nebulizers are a good option, so any thoughts on that.

Advice, experience most appreciated.

What you should worry about is not damp but damage to your health since diffusers and burners are linked to lung damage and could increase risk of cancer

Have you any links for that ?

I have an electric diffuser and would never go back, the smoke that comes out of them isn't wet, and won't cause condensation. Best thing I ever bought

I don't think the risks for health are linked to the smoke, but to the diffusion of chemicals which can reach high levels with poor ventilation.
"Limonene is a chemical given off by many scented candles and plug-ins which, when it is oxidised, can result in formaldehyde, a carcinogenic poison also used to embalm bodies"
