Aroma lamps

Aroma lamps are one of the simplest methods of aromatherapy, with the help of which it is possible to aromatize premises, as well as to prevent the treatment of various diseases on a physical and emotional level. Aroma lamps appeared in human life exactly when they began to use essential oils.

Although essential oils do not dissolve in water, when heated, they evaporate and spread the scent throughout the room. If you have used essential oils more than once, then an aroma lamp is a necessary accessory in your home.

And if someone tells you that an aroma lamp is not needed, it is enough to drip essential oil on any object, for example, on curtains, upholstered furniture or other objects, do not take this advice seriously. This is not always possible, since some oils leave indelible marks on the surface. Oils are active compounds and their actions are unpredictable.

If you have made your choice, then pay attention to the dimensions, materials and shapes of the aroma lamp, as well as the functionality and quality of work.

What is the best material for an aroma lamp?

How to choose the material of the aroma lamp? Essential oil lamps are mainly made from ceramics. However, clay vessels are different. The main requirements for the material are that it should not collapse during heating, absorb water and enter into chemical reactions with essential oils.

Glazed and unglazed fine-pored ceramics, glass, stone and porcelain can be used as materials. Stainless steel metal lamps can also be used in combination with a ceramic heating container.

There is another material from which the aroma lamp is made - this is a slip. It is based on kaolin, quartz, feldspar, water glass and a few additional components. All slip products are made by casting, which allows you to create a variety of shapes.

Such aroma lamps are somewhat more expensive than ceramic ones, stronger, heavier, with a matte surface texture. Since casting allows you to create complex and original shapes, these lamps always have an interesting design.



Aroma lamps made of stoneare handmade products. They are brought to us mainly from India. Of course, such a lamp is unusually beautiful, it gives sophistication and nobility to any interior. These lamps are often made of natural stone, have a carved pattern, sometimes they are covered with brass on the inside of the bowl.

These burners are durable and stable, they are heated evenly. Thanks to natural materials and handicrafts, stone aroma lamps look rich and unique.

And the most affordable price can still be a ceramic aroma lamp, and it is easier to find it in any ceramics store. Ceramic aroma lamps are easy to use, easy to care for and keep clean. After each use, it is enough to wash it with soap and water. Ceramics are fire resistant, easy to keep their shape and completely environmentally friendly.

Ceramics easily take shape, and therefore ceramic aroma lamps can be selected for any room design. All of the listed materials from which aroma lamps are made are refractory and do not react with heated essential oils, which prevents the possibility of aroma distortion.

Aroma lamp - design

The design of the aroma lamp is an equally important parameter by which the choice of a particular lamp is made. Every woman, choosing any item for her home, takes into account the interior and color palette. Therefore, the aroma lamp should fit into your interior.

Pay attention to the color scheme, ornament, motives or decor. It is important that the style of the interior and the lamps match each other. When you have to rest in the room where the lamp will work, you will appreciate all this. The lamp should not only create a high-quality aromatic atmosphere in the house, but also bring aesthetic pleasure.

Functional features

When you have decided on the choice of an aroma lamp, then the turn has come to evaluate the functional features. The essential oil lamp must have an evaporating container of sufficient size. If it is small, the water will evaporate too quickly, and the oil will burn instead of flavoring the air. The smallest volume of the container should not be less than 50 g.

The container should be removable, so it is easier to wash it, that is, keep it clean.

The distance from the container to the heat source should not be less than 10 centimeters so that the water warms up to a temperature of 50 ° or a little more. The water should not boil, and if this happens, boiling will lead to a change in both the aromas and the nature of the effect. Therefore, in high-quality aroma lamps, the distance from the container to the heat source is always more than 10 cm.

You can check the aroma lamp at the time of work. If this is your first time using an aroma lamp, light it using a standard dosage of essential oil and leave the room for a few minutes. When you return, you should smell the scent, but after 3 minutes you will feel a subtle scent. This means that the choice was made correctly.

An intense odor is not an indicator of good quality, nor is it not at all.Good aroma lamps create an unobtrusive, subtle scent. Small "windows" are made in lamps of large sizes so that the heat from the candle is better preserved in the volume, and in lamps of small sizes - large "windows" so that the lamp itself and the water in it do not overheat.






Before using the lamp, you need to ventilate the room, then close the windows. Pour some water into the bowl of the lamp, add a few drops of essential oil, then light a candle.



Check the presence of water regularly so that the remaining oil does not boil without water, otherwise you will get a burning smell instead. If you want to continue flavoring the air, but there is no more water, add water or stop flavoring. After using the lamp, let it cool and wash with water and soap, rinse and leave to dry.

Useful Tips

1. Do not let the water boil, otherwise the beneficial properties of the oil will quickly evaporate.

2. Hold the aromatic mixture over a burning candle for 20 minutes.

3. Do not leave a burning candle under an empty bowl, otherwise it may burst from overheating or heat up to a high temperature. And bowls made of colored glass can lose their color.

4. Do not wash a hot aroma lamp under cold water, as it may burst due to temperature changes.

5. If you bought a lamp with a "live" fire, follow those safety rules that are required when handling fire, and when buying an electric one - with electricity. In any case, make sure that the lamp is stable, that flammable materials do not touch it, and that children are not left unattended near the lamp.
