The monotonous and repetitive life always makes people see no hope. The inexpensive but slightly elegant aromatherapy seems to be able to comfort the soul of every ordinary and tired person at this time. In other words, people always have a little hobby. In contrast, aromatherapy with a lower threshold can always give people unexpected surprises.
I don't dabble in aromatherapy deeply, only stay in the stage of "good smell". For those exquisitely packaged products, there has never been the idea of "reluctant to open". If you dismantle it, you will dismantle it, and let the fragrance in the room last for a few days. It feels like the money spent is quite meaningful.
There are only six types of aromatherapy on the market, but I have used them all. After using, I have some opinions about each aromatherapy product. List them as follows, and hope that friends who also like aromatherapy can communicate widely.
Diffuser
The larger one is called the diffuser, and the smaller one is called the aroma diffuser. Its principle is very similar to that of a humidifier. It uses ultrasonic waves to atomize the liquid essential oil, and then blow the mist into the room. The only advantage of this thing is that the fragrance spreads quickly, and the whole room can become fragrant when opened for ten minutes. The disadvantage is that there is no sense of ritual, just to make the room incense. In comparison, I think this is the unsuitable aromatherapy product for home use. It is common in hotels and can even be seen in some bathrooms.
Aroma candle
Flavors are added to candles and wax oil. During the burning process, the essence is heated and volatilized, making the whole room fragrant. I like to play with this kind of candle the . It seems that I can find the joy of playing with fire in my childhood. However, the aroma candle is also the worst product to use. It is dazzling when staring, and it feels hot when not staring. Every time I go out, I have to think about it several times-did I blow out the candle?
Incense
There is something more ritual than aroma candles, but it is one of my hated products. When the incense is ignited, a lot of soot will be produced. These ashes cannot fall completely in the incense burner, so every time they are used up, they must be cleaned up bit by bit.
In addition, the incense does smell in the room after it is lit. But on the one hand, the scent stays for a very short time, and it will be completely tasteless after one or two hours. On the other hand, the incense will always smoke during the burning process. Even if it is a smokeless incense, the PM2.5 and PM10 indexes in the room will explode after use.

Aroma Spar
In fact, it is also a diffuser product, but it does not require electricity. The spar here is a natural ore. This kind of stone has strong water absorption capacity and can absorb liquid aromatherapy essential oils. Afterwards, it will slowly volatilize to achieve the purpose of aromatherapy. Seeing the principle, we also know that the diffusion ability of aromatherapy spar is relatively weak. One is the slow speed, and the other is the small range. However, these translucent spars have a very good appearance, and they can be used as decorations on a desk.
Flowers
Using flowers for aromatherapy, it feels natural from the outside. Flowers are divided into dried flowers and fresh flowers: I have used fresh flowers and the effect is average. It may also be because of my handicap that the flowers I bought will wilt in at three or four days. As for the fragrance, unless you put your nose on the flower, you really can't smell it.
The scent of dried flowers is much greater, and a bag of dried flowers can make the room smell more than 20 days. But why do you think so after the flowers are dry? To say that I have never soaked in essential oils, I definitely don't believe it.
Air freshener/perfume
Air fresheners can be roughly divided into two categories: one is covering products, which can cover the original smell in the room and make the room fragrant. The other type is decomposition type, which decomposes the original taste in the room, and then adds a light fragrance.
In comparison, the latter must be better, not only can deform the room, but also purify the air. Covering air fresheners have been criticized, and many people say they cause secondary pollution to indoor air.
Essential oil
Finally, let’s talk about the essential oils mentioned many times above: essential oils contain fragrance essences, some are concentrated, such as the concentrated essential oils added to the aromatherapy spar. Some are diluted, for example, the essential oil added in the diffuser is the essential oil mixed with water. Of course, it is more that the manufacturer mixes essential oils with corresponding concentrations according to their own needs. For example, the essential oils in scented candles.
Essential oils are divided into natural essential oils and synthetic essential oils. Natural essential oils are very expensive, basically 10 yuan/ml. Synthetic essential oils are much cheaper, the price is only one tenth of natural essential oils. Although synthetic essential oils are harmless to the human body, they are much worse in taste. Anyone with a little experience can recognize the cheapness of synthetic essential oils.
