Are aromatherapy nebulizers more therapeutic because they break down the molecular structure of the oil better than other diffusers?
Much of this is unfortunately based on misconception. The Internet especially is full of features on nebulizers with misleading statements such as: “nebulizers can supply greater therapeutic benefit than the use of other diffusers because they break the oils down into smaller molecules”.This is the incorrect use of the word “molecule”. A nebulizer is a dispensing device which physically breaks up an existing liquid into tiny droplets which can appear as a very fine mist . Although we sometimes use the term “atomiser” to describe this process, although the actual break up of the constituent molecules in the aromatic material to atoms has nothing to do with it -the molecules remain intact. A diffuser for natural aromatic substances on the other hand usually involves the evaporation of liquid from a surface – whether this be via essential oil-impregnated paper strips, or from a hot glass or ceramic surface such as you would might find in an aromatherapy burner type of diffuser, or from ot
