Using Aromatherapy Vapourisers

Aromatherapy burners are a quick and easy way to make your enviromen smell beautiful. In simple terms, they gently heat essentials oils, turning them from a liquid into a vapour which then wafts through the air, filling your room with its beautiful smell. Burners may be used anywhere in the home or office. They can help to lift your spirits and relax you after a hard day's work. Their effects are subtle, and are better suited to raising your mood a little than to healing to focusing your concentration during meditation. You can buy burners on any high street or pound store, or find more eloborate designs at new age shops or festivals.



Our ability to smell is caused by tiny molecules wafting in the air. When we breathe in these molecules, they are recognised by receptors in the nose. The information is then crried by nerves to the brain, including the areas responsible for emotions, behaviour and memory. The smell molecules also dissolve into our blood stream, allowing their active properties to start working. V apourisers heat essential oils, speeding up the rate at which it evaporates, This means that the scent molecules pass into the air more rapidly, enabling you to breathe in more *scent* in a shorter period of time. As the the Burner warms the essential oil, it also heats the air around it. As hot air rises, this causes the air in the room to circulate, spreading the tiny molecules around more quickly.
