Aromatherapy Diffusers
One of the most common ways to use essential oils via inhalation is to use them in a diffuser. There are many different types of essential oil diffusers available now, but the basic mechanism is similar. Diffusers disperse the essential oils as a fine mist or vapor into the air for you to inhale and process through your nose, most specifically your olfactory bulb. Your olfactory bulb is where your body receives scent information at the very top of your inner nose and transmits it to your brain. Room diffusers that use a cool water mist to project essential oils into the air are probably the most common type of essential oil diffusers.
Where Room Diffusers Fall Short
Often when you walk into a room or new environment, you smell certain things. You may notice a co-worker’s perfume at work or the smell of dinner cooking when you walk in your kitchen at home. If you are outside you may notice the smell of certain flowers as you jog by or the fresh ocean air as you walk along the beach. However, after a few moments, you don’t notice these scents. Your body acclimates to your surroundings and the smell is no longer noticeable to you. Common essential oil room diffusers work very similarly. They smell great when you turn them on, and but as they continue to run over a period of time, your nose and your brain get oversaturated and you start to forget they are even running. Another shortfall of room diffusers is that everyone in the room has to smell the same thing, whether they want to or not.
Personal Diffusers
With a personal essential oil diffuser, you don’t have to worry about your brain getting oversaturated with scent information. Luckily, just as quickly as our olfactory cells recognize and process scent, they readjust and reset quickly, too. That’s why each breath you take using your MONQ diffuser is so powerful. Expensive essential oils aren’t being diffused and essentially wasted when you aren’t noticing their aroma after a few moments of consistently breathing them in. With MONQ portable diffusers, you can get the impact of your first breath of aromatherapy every time you breathe Therapeutic Air®! By breathing gently in through your mouth and then exhaling through your nose, the terpenes in the essential oils are passing directly over your olfactory bulb, thus creating a powerful aromatherapy experience delivered right to your receptors! Even better, using this science the experience is yours alone! No one else in the room needs to breathe in essential oils unless you share your diffuser with them. (We love it when you #ShareMONQ and refer a friend to try our essential oils!)
How Do MONQ Essential Oil Diffusers Work?
You may be interested to know the mechanics of how our devices actually turn essential oils into Paleo Air®. When you gently breathe in through your mouth on the diffuser, you create a gentle suction. That suction activates a small battery at the end of the device. From there the aromatherapy liquid is heated, absorbed into an organic cotton wick and turns into a mist of essential oils, water, and carbon dioxide. Since nothing is burned in this process, using a MONQ diffuser cannot be considered smoking. MONQ aromatherapy liquid is simply heated into vapor form without ever burning.
What MONQ Diffusers Are (And Are Not)
While technically our diffusers do vaporize the essential oils with coconut-based vegetable glycerin, we prefer to use the term diffuser over vape or e-cig. That’s because products like e-cigarettes typically contain nicotine, tobacco, menthol or artificial ingredients and addictive chemicals. While the sleek and smooth design of MONQ diffusers may look like e-cigs, MONQ portable diffusers contain only the best ingredients that we can source. In fact, only certified organic coconut-derived vegetable glycerin and the highest quality essential oils from non-GMO and/or sustainably harvested plants are used in our diffusers. Our aromatherapy devices are made to help enhance your mood and improve your well being.
MONQ Is Safe
In terms of their essential oil content and the heated vapor delivery system, MONQ diffusers are safe to the extent that it is possible to know with current information. This applies only when MONQ essential oil diffusers are used as directed and not by people with allergies to essential oils, respiratory illness or are pregnant and/or breastfeeding. We recommend that users take 2-3 gentle breaths, 2-3 daily, however, everyone has different experiences with essential oils and so you may find different usages to be more beneficial to you. MONQ discourages women who may be pregnant or nursing as well as minors under the age of 18 to use our diffusers. While there are no adverse reactions Please consult our safety page for more information about how our products are safe.
