Heat Diffusers and Oil Burners

Heat diffusers use gentle warmth to evaporate essential oils. They include traditional candle oil burners, electric warmers, and plug-in units.

Types

Candle Oil Burners

A dish of water and oil above a tealight candle. Atmospheric but requires supervision.

Electric Warmers

Ceramic or glass units with a low-wattage heating element. Safer than candles.

Important Considerations

• Heat can alter the chemical composition of sensitive oils
• Never leave candle burners unattended
• Less therapeutically effective than cold-air methods
• Good for creating ambiance
