What is the best diffuser?
Do you enjoy a fresh scent in your home. One way to improve the atmosphere in your home is to diffuse essential oils. But how do you know what diffuser is best for your home? Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. But there are two types that I recommend: Ultrasonic and Atomizing.
An ultrasonic diffuser functions as a humidifier, atomizer, and aroma diffuser. Ultrasonic frequency technology breaks down essential oils and water into millions of micro-particles, dispersing them into the air, and releasing the oils’ unique constituents. Water is needed, but only a few drops of oil are used.
An atomizing diffuser functions as an aroma diffuser, air purifier, and atomizer in one simple-to-use product. Its atomizing technology transforms essential oils into a vapor of millions of micro-particles, dispersing them into the air and releasing the powerful plant constituents found in Young Living essential oils. They are convenient to use because you simply screw the essential oil bottle directly onto the atomizer. No water is needed.
In both cases, diffusers help you enjoy a positive aromatic experience.
I do not recommend any diffuser that heats or burns the essential oils, since that will change the properties of the essential oils you are diffusing, and you will not experience the same benefits that atomizing or ultrasonic diffusers provide.
Young Living offers many choices in diffusers that are very popular. All of them are simple to operate and have proven reliability. I own and use several different diffusers. No matter what Young Living diffuser you select, you can’t go wrong! These are choices you have right now in 2024 from Young Living:
Here are some tips about keeping your Ultrasonic clean.
  • Unplug your diffuser before cleaning. OK that’s just common sense, right? 
  • Clean your diffuser at least once a month. Clean the diffuser plate after each use for maximum efficiency. A tissue or cotton swab works well. 
  • Always empty your diffuser and make sure it is clean and dry after each use. Leaving oil or water in your diffuser to evaporate will gum up your diffuser plate over time so it no longer works. Some diffusers allow you to replace the ultrasonic plate.
  • Wipe the diffuser plate to absorb any remaining oil and water. A cotton swab works well.
  • If you have buildup over time, use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to dissolve and clean the plate. Make sure to let the alcohol evaporate completely before diffusing again. 
  • The lid of the diffuser can be cleaned with soap and water if necessary. Wipe the other parts with a damp cloth. 
Happy diffusing!

Meet Reisa Abercrombie

 
As a wife and mom of three, I’ve always been drawn 
to finding meaningful connections between health, 
wellness, and the joys of everyday life. Over the years,
I’ve discovered how deeply intertwined our mind,
body, and soul are and how intentional choices can 
create a lasting impact on our families and communities.

I grew up in northern Minnesota as the oldest of four 
children, developing a love for creativity and connection that led me to the Twin Cities. There, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Northwestern 
College in St. Paul and worked in the design field before transitioning to my most cherished role—raising my 
family.

My husband, Andrew, and I have been married for nearly 13 years. Together, with our three children (ages 11, 6, and 5), we embraced a dream of rural living by moving back to northern Minnesota in 2022. Just outside of Grand Rapids, we’ve created a home filled with a large garden, a flock of chickens, and plenty of acreage for our kids to explore and grow.

Our faith and connection to our local church community play an integral role in our lives. When we’re not gardening, bow hunting, or enjoying a campfire, you’ll find us in our workshop. There, we pour our hearts into creating handcrafted wooden products—from unique cribbage and charcuterie boards to earrings and essential oil holders. Each piece reflects our passion for craftsmanship and the beauty of natural living.

Life is an ongoing journey of growth and learning, and I’m honored to share this path with you. Whether it’s through handcrafted goods or a shared passion for intentional living, I’m here to connect, learn, and grow together with you.

Thank you for your grace, support, and for allowing us to be part of your journey. Let’s build something beautiful—together.
