Volcano Vaporizer in aroma therapy
In this weeks article i want to talk about the use of the Volcano Vaporizer in aroma therapy for a bit. While im typing up this article i can already see the huge question mark in the faces of most readers. “WTF is aroma therapy?”. I was wondering the same since i saw this term popping up in association with the Volcano Vaporizer all the time but had no clue what its all about.
Aroma therapy is the practice of using essential oils for improving psychological and physical health. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from leaves, stems, roots, bark, or other parts of various plants. These potent extracts are shown to have anti-bacterial, anti-septic and various other medicinal advantages.
There are tons of ways to use essential oil for personal well-being, such as adding it to bath-water, using it as masage-oil additive, natural bug-repellent or inhaling it. And this is where the Volcano Vaporizer comes into play!
The Volcano isnt limited to a variety of herbs but it can also vaporize essential oils too. In fact it is much more effective than other means of inhalation that are common in aroma therapy, such as steam inhalation or oil burners. Due to the nature of the vaporization method you need to use less material and have more control over the vaporization temperature applied to it.
If you plan to use the Volcano Vaporizer for aroma therapy though, make sure to use only essential oils that have been certified for aroma therapy and that are 100% pure. Apparently some manufacturers use chemicals in their essential oils which can be potentially dangerous if inhaled. So make sure you buy the good stuff!
Personally i find this field fascinating and im planning to buy some essential oils myself in the future to get a first-hand experience of inhaling these oils.

don’t forget to use the oil screen that comes with your volcano. instead of inhaling, keep the bag unit off and let a small room, like your bathroom, fill with wonderful aroma while u take a wonderful bath. i’ve also read this week about cooking with your volcano.
Tell me what you're thinking...
