How To Use Essential Oil Diffuser

How much essential oil to add to diffuser

When deciding how many drops of essential oil to add to your diffuser, consider both the size of the diffuser's tank and the size of the room. A general rule is to use 4 to 5 drops of essential oil per 100 ml of water. For example, a 500 ml diffuser can hold up to 25 drops, providing a strong fragrance for larger spaces. However, in smaller areas like a bathroom, closet or small room, this could be too overpowering and even cause irritation to the eyes and nose. To avoid this, always start with a fewer number of drops—around 2 to 3 drops per 100 ml—and gradually increase it based on your fragrance preference. This approach ensures a pleasant aroma without being overwhelming.

Here's a general guideline:

Using the 1000ml diffuser for a very small space is not recommended as the fragrance may be overpowering and likewise using a 100ml diffuser in a very large space may not provide enough fragrance. Check for the manual that comes with the device for any specific guidelines and recommendations.
