The aroma lamp is not a woman's whim or an imitation of movie masterpieces. Such a thing helps to balance the psychological state, reduce the likelihood of infectious diseases, and even eliminate sleep problems. How to use an aroma lamp with oils? Let's tell you now. But first, let's figure out what such a thing is.

Types of similar devices

The aroma lamp is a ceramic container. It consists of an evaporator, an arch and a colorful body for installing a candle in the form of a tablet. Modern technologists have also created an electric version of the oriental aroma lamp and aroma lamp-USB, thereby simplifying the problem of finding small candles. You can use such a thing in any room, not limited only to the house. Choose an unobtrusive, neutral scent, and even in your workplace an aroma lamp will be appropriate.

How to use the device to evenly fill the room or even the whole house with a light scent? It is necessary to get used to the selected lamp. If it has an impressive capacity for evaporation, it is worth starting with half of the available volume, and the amount of aromatic oil or mixture should not exceed 5 drops.

How to use an aroma lamp correctly? Many experts advise beginners to get acquainted with this therapy, starting with 2 drops. This is how the body gradually adapts to the scent.

To understand how to use an aroma lamp, the photo of which you see in our article, it is worth considering its simple design. The evaporation container can hold from 2 to 15 tablespoons of liquid, the larger the evaporator, the slower it will fill the house with aroma.

The first session of aromatherapy should not exceed 25 minutes, each next session can be safely extended, but experts recommend stopping at 2 hours. This time is enough for the body to relax, emotionally rest and recharge.

How to use an aroma lamp with oils: photos and instructions

For aromatherapy to give positive results, it is worth memorizing a few rules living together with the device:

• Before each aromatherapy session, you must thoroughly ventilate the room. You should not save time on renewing the air in the apartment. Therapy should be carried out with tightly closed windows, no drafts or ventilation. Due to the small amount of evaporated liquid, the filling of the space proceeds rather slowly, therefore the inflow fresh air contraindicated.
• If the evaporator is heated by heating the bowl with a candle, the combustion factor must be taken into account - you should not install the lamp on plastic or flammable surfaces. Also, do not forget about the presence of children - the interest of children can lead to a tragic outcome.
• The temperature of the aromatic liquid should not exceed 55-60 ºС, boiling is the first enemy of such therapy. Why? Because oils lose their medicinal properties. In order for the aroma lamp to work in the required mode, you should choose a design with a sufficient distance between the burner and the container itself for evaporation.
• The scent should be chosen "for yourself" - if the session is strictly individual, but if several people enjoy the lamp's action at once, it is worth approaching this process with the utmost care. After all, each smell affects different people in its own way.
• Only warm water is suitable for aromatherapy - this will significantly save heating time and allow the oils to dissolve more easily.
• Do not leave a working (burning) lamp with an empty container for evaporation.
• Each person with experience himself determines the optimal number of drops of oil, but experts limit the average values ​​to 5 drops for every 15-16 m 2 of the room. This process should be taken seriously. The smell for the first sessions should be selected neutral and friendly, passionate loaded oils can damage the mucous membrane and cause an attack of suffocation.
• As the liquid evaporates in the aroma lamp, it must be replenished with the same lukewarm water. Topping up a cold one is not worth it - the bowl has already become hot during use, and therefore such a liquid can lead to cracks in ceramic vessels.
• After each use, the evaporation container must be very thoroughly washed with soap. Therefore, it is worth choosing designs with removable evaporator tanks. Some sources mistakenly deduce a similar rule of regular washing only in those cases when the active ingredient changes - oily residues on the container contribute to a longer duration of the heating process.

What is the best oil to choose for a particular room?

How to use an aroma lamp with a candle? Therapists recommend different types of oils for each room in order to get the most out of the session. Let's take a look at them:

• For emotional relaxation in the bedroom, lemon balm oil, touching lavender, flirty ylang-ylang and wonderful neroli are perfect - these substances can be safely mixed together or only paired mixtures can be combined.
• Refreshing lemon and delicate rosemary are ideal for normalizing the atmosphere in the workplace. These oils can be used together, especially users allocate a 2: 1 concentration.
• But the combination of attractive cinnamon and wonderful tangerine will help to please children`s penates. These oils will give the room an aroma of celebration, comfort and happiness.
• A wonderful quartet of oils - lavender, miraculous lemon balm, exciting lemongrass and colorful petitgrain - will help to envelop the living room with a charming aroma.

Mixing substances in different proportions can not only help you relax and tune in, but also cure many diseases.

Electric lamp

An electric aroma lamp is safer and more practical. How do I use it? Let's tell you now. It all depends on its design. There are several types of such devices:

• Aroma lamp-saucer. It is completely fireproof - warm water is poured into a saucer and the optimal amount of oil is dripped. The saucer is powered by connecting to a standard power supply network.
• There is a more futuristic look - a ceramic ring impregnated with oil. It can be safely put on a table lamp or sconce, and when heated from a light bulb, it begins to exude a delicate aroma.

How to use an electric aroma lamp is clearly stated in the attached instructions for each specific model. Due to the maximum simplification and adaptation to the needs of the average consumer, electric evaporators are the most convenient for frequent use.

Ultrasonic aroma lamp: how to use?

Many are attracted by the ultrasonic device. Due to the finer and better distribution and heating, the bioavailability of the aroma oil increases several times, the process of smell spreading is accelerated. All this advantageously reduces the session time and allows you to use the device in any situation.

USB device

An electric USB aroma lamp for essential oils can delight you with a pure aroma. Even a student can understand how to use this work of technical thought. The metal saucer (base) is connected and heated by connecting it to the computer's USB port. The area of ​​action of such a mini-lamp is small, so no discomfort will spoil the session. Also, such devices have original appearance, which greatly simplifies the process of their operation in the workplace.

A properly selected device and substances will help to present an inimitable evening or just a few hours of pacification. Oil treatments can be supplemented with aromatic baths with sea salt, vanilla candles and rose petals.

The main rule of any aromatherapy session is pleasure and complete pacification. Therefore, you should not start the procedure in a bad mood. You should give your body a few minutes of emotional rest: negative thoughts can prevent you from enjoying the wonderful combination of oil and the sight of fluttering fire.
