Essential oil steamers (dispersion machines) are increasingly becoming familiar devices in every family. The benefit of using essential oil steamers is that they help relax the mind and improve good sleep.
However, for small bedrooms (under 15m2), the use of essential oil steamers needs to have its own standards to achieve optimal efficiency.
Prioritizing ultrasonic wave technology
There are currently many types of machines on the market such as hot air inhalers, airplanes or ultrasonic inhalers. For small bedrooms, ultrasonic diffusers will be the optimal choice.
This type of machine works by using electromagnetic waves to separate the mixture of water and essential oil into cool fog. The biggest advantage of essential oil steamers is that they operate quite smoothly, without making noise to help maintain a quiet space for the bedroom.
In addition, the amount of dew sprayed is moderate, which also helps hydrate when using air conditioning in the bedroom without causing moldy furniture.
Choose moderate capacity and power
For small rooms under 15m2, you should not choose large essential oil engines or engines with too strong spraying capacity. Machine lines with a cylinder capacity of 100ml to 200ml are most suitable.
The steam spraying capacity should be low or can be adjusted according to demand. Using a machine with too high capacity in a narrow space will cause the concentration of essential oil in the air to suddenly increase, easily causing dizziness or shortness of breath instead of relaxing comfortably.
Noise and light mode
Small bedrooms usually have a higher resonance than large rooms, so noise from engines, even small ones, can become clearer at night. Check the noise parameters carefully, it is best to choose a machine with a noise level below 30dB.
In particular, the LED light on the machine also needs to be noted when choosing a type of machine that can turn off the lights completely or switch to a gentle yellow light mode to replace the headlights, avoiding the types of lights that change color continuously causing circadian disruption.
Safety features and automatic shutdown
This is a mandatory criterion for electrical appliances used in the bedroom. Essential oil incense burners need to have a sensor that automatically turns off the power when the water level in the tank is almost dry.
This feature not only helps protect the durability of the device but also prevents the risk of short circuits, ensuring absolute safety for users while sleeping.
Control dosage and usage time
In the closed and small space of the bedroom, just use 3 to 5 drops of essential oil for each steaming session to be sufficient. Do not abuse the amount of essential oil because a too strong smell will cause nerve inhibition.
You should choose a machine with intermittent spraying mode, such as spraying for 30 seconds, resting for 30 seconds to help maintain a faint, pleasant and fuel-efficient scent.
Housewives should also note to only turn on the essential oil incense burner for a while, and turn off the incense burner 1 hour before bed to help retain a faint fragrance, not too strong, which can easily harm the respiratory tract.
