Vaporizing in an aroma lamp
Vaporizing in the aroma lamp is the simplest and most popular way to use essential oils. Essential oil, volatile or aromatic oil is a mixture of volatile, aromatic molecules extracted from plant material that is characteristic of the fragrance of the plant from which they are extracted. Although such mixtures are called “oils,” essential oils do not contain fat.
A few drops of the essential oil are put into the water-filled dish of the aroma lamp. Under the dish is a candle (tea light), and it must be lit. The flame of the candle heats the water and allows the liquid to evaporate; the fragrance thus spreads throughout the room.
