Stylish yet Powerful Aromatherapy at Home: TruGardens Essential Oil Diffuser

October 19, 2017 · 10 Comments

Nothing makes a home feel welcoming like a refreshing scent. Essential oil diffusers can compensate for the lack of fresh air during the cold winter months. Their benefits go far beyond making the air smell better, essential oil diffusers employ aromatherapy to improve health, uplift a mood, provide valuable moisture into forced air environments, energize, improve mental clarity and cleanse the air of germs and bacteria. While essential oil diffusers can be a vital part of health and well-being in a home, they are also often rather unsightly. That is why we love the combination of style and function found in the TruGardens Essential Oil Diffuser.

WHY USE A DIFFUSER

Safer than burning a scented candle, longer lasting than burning incense, and more environmentally friendly than a scented air freshener spray that propels artificial chemicals into the air, a diffuser safely and naturally adds both moisture into the air with the potent power of aromatherapy. Diffuser based Aromatherapy is safe around both pets and children. Aromatherapy via a diffuser can be used to improve a mood, but also to affect health benefits. Some benefits include diffusing Eucalyptus Essential Oil to open up congested airway passages during a cold or flu, and Tea Tree Oil to cleanse the air of bacteria, germs, and even mold.

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT THE TRUGARDENS ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER

Bamboo grain base with soft LED optional light top

The TruGardens diffuser is suitable for home or office and boasts a number of features. First off, one notices the attractive bamboo grain base with an LED light that fits into both modern and traditional decors.

It looks aesthetically pleasing but subtly blends into the decor. But the real appeal to me of the TruGardens Essential Oil Diffusers is its’ options and safety features.

FEATURES

LED LIGHT

The LED light is optional but adds a soft glow of color to your home or office while diffusing the pleasing aroma. The color choices are selected at the touch of a button, they include soft white light, magenta pink, poppy red, light baby blue, dark blue, and light green. There is also an option to rotate through all the colors as they morph from yellows to golds to orange to red to pinks, magenta, purples, light to deep blues and greens. See the included user manual guide for these settings.

Press the left button to change the color of the light, as seen here to blue or one of the other color options.

It is bright enough to provide some light at night, but not so much light so as to distract from sleep.

EASY TO USE ONE TOUCH BUTTONS

The one-touch buttons control the LED light color options and mist.

CAPACITY

The TruGardens Essential Oil Diffuser has a 300ml capacity or a bit over ten ounces. The fill indicator notes three fill levels depending on your needs ranging from a small office cubicle to a large open room. This provides ample water to run even overnight or for a full workday without having to refill it. Generally, it only takes a few minutes to remove a stale odor or to infuse even a large room, so the TruGarden Diffuser doesn’t need constant refills yet still has a small footprint on a nightstand, table, or shelf.

Pre-measured fill lines, seen here filled to the 300ML mark. The 300ml level is about 10 ounces and will last overnight

AUTO SHUT OFF SAFETY FEATURE

TruGardens diffuser has an auto waterless shut off when the water runs out for added safety. I like this feature as it makes it safe to leave the TruGardens diffuser on overnight, even in a child’s room, or to leave it unattended in the kitchen. I like that if I doze off or forget about it being on, that there’s no danger. It also makes it safe to leave on when I leave the house so I can come home to a lovely diffused scent, which is something I enjoy.

Speaking of safety, the TruGarden diffuser comes with CE, FCC and RoH certificates.

SILENT

It makes no noise at ALL, so it is very useful for using at night, or discretely using it diffuse in an office setting. It is so quiet, the first time I used it I wasn’t sure it was turned on until I saw the billow of mist coming from the top of the device.

Something I particularly like about the silent feature, apart from making it quiet enough to use while sleeping, is it is also quiet when used in the office. Do you have a workmate that microwaves pungent foods for lunch that permeate the whole office? Discretely diffuse Peppermint or lemon in your office space to eradicate the smell from around YOU. The TruGardens Essential Oil diffuser is so quiet, that no one will even hear it running, meanwhile, your nose and clothes are saved from the smelly meal du jour.

It is also useful if someone is sick in the office and you wish to diffuse some purifying oils, or if you are the sickie and want to diffuse Eucalyptus oil to survive the day without coughing so much you drive everyone else crazy.

So quiet it is suitable for use at night or in the office

ADJUSTABLE MOISTURE OUTLET

The moisture level can be adjusted to accommodate a very dry room (such as due to forced air heat during the winter), or for allergies.

Of note, the moisture outlet does not sputter, the surface that I had the diffuser resting upon did not become covered with a surrounding layer of wet dew as can happen with some diffusers. With some diffusers I have had to put down a towel to absorb the ring of moisture they leave, but not with the TruGardens Essential Oil Diffuser.

This no-sputter feature is in part due to the controlled mist-flow cap that doesn’t allow splashes of water to escape, leading to a very fine mist of steam that easily evaporates into the air.

HOW TO USE THE TRUEGARDENS DIFFUSER

Add 2-3 drops of essential oils per 100ml of water. If the container is filled to the 300ml fill line, use a maximum of 6-9 drops.

IDEAS TO USE THE TRUGARDENS ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER

Peppermint can naturally remove lingering smoke odors, deter mosquitos and other bugs, as well as uplift and invigorate for exercise or other activities.
Rosemary Oil can improve concentration and mental clarity while doing homework or working on a mentally taxing project.
Lavender can improve relaxation and sleep.
Citrus scents including grapefruit, lemon, and sweet orange eliminate cooking smells, even strong fish odors.

ABOUT TRUGARDENS ESSENTIAL OILS

Some diffusers “burn” the essential oils with overheating to disseminate the scent. TruGardens Diffuser does not burn the oils. TruGardens also has Essential Oils that work best with their diffusers. We tried the TruGardens Zen Essential Oil, a pleasant, relaxing scent that is a combination of mind-clearing, relaxing essential oils. Only a drop or two was necessary to diffuse the large open space room near the kitchen with a fresh, relaxing scent ideal for winding down after an exhausting day at work or school.

The TruGardens Essential Oil “Zen” is a relaxing melody of essential oils blended to perfection that includes Clary Sage, Frankincense, Orange, Patchouli, Thyme, Ylang-Ylang – ideal for relaxing after a stressful day, no one scent is overwhelming even though individually these scents may overpower, together they are blended for optimal relaxation

CONCLUSION

A worthwhile investment in your health and well-being, the TruGardens Essential Oil Diffuser has endless uses to improve concentration while studying, to get better sleep, to diffuse the air to remove smoke, pet or cooking odors, to combat mold, mildew and stale smells, to deter bugs in the home, to help invigorate, lift a mood, to relax, to energize a workout and many more uses.

MagiForet 400ML Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser

August 24, 2017 · Leave a Comment

An essential oil diffuser is a wonderful way to enjoy aromatherapy in an office, spa, yoga studio or home. Diffusers can disperse invigorating essential oil scents to uplift a mood or energize you during a workout, they can provide calming aromas for sleep, or scents to improve mental clarity while working in a stale, dry office environment with forced air. Most diffusers are not very attractive or have a capacity large enough to use overnight, which is why we love the MagiForet Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser: it holds a whopping 400ml of water for 14 hours of continuous use, it has a unique 7 outlet misting mechanism and it’s an attractive piece that doesn’t have to be hidden away.

WHY USE AN AROMATHERAPY ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER

Aromatherapy has long been known to enhance many activities including better sleep, improving mental clarity, easing anxiety, and it can lift a mood to increase energy levels and productivity. When combined with the ultrasonic cool mist humidifier feature of the MagiForet diffuser, it adds moisture to the air making it easier to breathe in an overly-dry bedroom for better sleep or even regulate the air in your cubicle or office at work.

Diffuse the essential oil of your choice in the MagiForet diffuser. I like Rosemary for mental clarity while working, lemon in the kitchen, peppermint while working out, sweet orange to air out a stale room

DIFFUSE ENERGIZING OILS AT WORK OR IN A HOME OFFICE

Do you have an afternoon energy slump at the office? Mid-afternoon I feel so tired that I need yet another cup of coffee when I’ve already had too much coffee already that day. Diffusing an energizing essential oil discretely in my office space both adds some moisture to the forced-air dry office environment and can diffuse an energizing essential oil such as peppermint, lemon or Rosemary. I diffuse Peppermint for energy, lemon to lift a mood, and Rosemary to improve concentration and mental clarity while working on a project.

The same holds true for a yoga workout or even to motivate myself to do pilates, or use my treadmill or stationary bike at home: if I find myself lacking the energy or desire to workout, I try diffusing an essential oil that can energize me such as Peppermint or Eucalyptus.

WHAT MAKES FOR A QUALITY DIFFUSER?

There are many diffusers on the market, how do you find a good one? I like one that has a large capacity so it doesn’t need constant refills, I prefer the cool mist is distributed evenly without dribbling water onto the surface underneath it, I like it to have an auto-shut off feature so I can use it overnight without worrying about risk if it runs out of the water. I like one with an even steam output, a nice long cord, and preferably, that it’s attractive enough to just leave out as part of my decor. All of this criterion is met in the MagiForet Diffuser.

FAVORITE STANDOUT MAGIFORET FEATURE: SUPERIOR DIFFUSING WITH A MULTI OUTLET DESIGN

I like the design of multiple mist outlet holes across the top of the diffuser with seven strong streams of mist to disperse across a larger area at once.

It can cover a room up to 270-375 square feet (25-35 square meters), far superior to most diffusers, even ones larger in size. The mist evaporates into the air, improving the air quality in overly dry rooms, but the mist is a steady light mist, so that nearby objects to not become soaked with water, as can happen with some humidifiers.

FEATURE OVERVIEW AT A GLANCE

CAPACITY

Large 400ML capacity (over 13 1/2 ounces) suitable for home, yoga studios, spas, and offices. This is enough to last overnight and then some. When you are sick and congested and want to use this to diffuse moisture and congestion-clearing Eucalyptus into the air, this diffuser gives plenty of hours of use off of one fill. Despite the large size capacity, it doesn’t have a huge footprint on a nightstand or desk.

The basin holds over 13 ounces of water to the fill line. Note the easy to read timer options of one, three, six or continuous on options.

The diffuser comes with a measuring water cup for easy refill

AUTO SHUT OFF SAFETY FEATURE

The Auto-shut off feature is an important feature because if it runs out of water, it won’t stay on, so there is no risk of it overheating. making it safe to use the diffuser overnight or leaving it in a child’s room.

ULTRASONIC COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER

The Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier feature provides a consistent, even, drip-free steady and strong flow of cooling mist into the air.

MULTIPLE TIMER SETTINGS

There are four different timer settings for different purposes including for use during a workout session, to dissipate cooking odors for a few hours after dinner, for a soothing at home spa-night, or even for use overnight. They are one hour, three hours, six hours and continuous on mode.

Clear timer options of one, three, six hours or continuous mist and the colored light work independently

SOFT LED LIGHT COLOR CHOICES

There are seven LED soft light colors that display in a horizontal band, under the display buttons, and can be seen on aerial view through the steam outlets.

QUIET

This diffuser is silent, so it does not disrupt sleep, and it is suitable for an office or a spa or massage therapy office.

ATTRACTIVE WOOD GRAIN

The wood grain on this is quite nice, it does NOT look like a thin veneer of wood over plastic, it’s a sturdy piece with a beautiful grain that fits the decor of a natural looking space such as a spa or yoga studio, it would look lovely in a kitchen to diffuse an essential oil to dissipate cooking odors, it fits in with a traditional or bedroom decor and it would look good in an office as it has an expensive look and feel to it.

Attractive wood grain design

MAKES FOR A GOOD GIFT

It comes boxed and is suitable for gift giving. It is sturdy construction with padded rubber feet on the base to protect both the diffuser and the surfaces it rests upon, so you can be assured the gift recipient will get years of use from this thoughtful gift.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE MAGIFORET DIFFUSER

It is easy to figure out how to plug it in and add water to the fill line. Add a few drops of the essential oil of your choice, put the top back on, and select the timer setting of your choice. The easy to read buttons are back lit by the LED colored light.

The LED color display is attractive and soothing, it adds a soft glow to the room that is relaxing when used at night, providing a bit of light to a dark room without being disruptive to sleep. It is a thin band of a gradient of color as it changes from shade to shade as a soft glow. It is not bright enough to be a true night light, but enough light to orient you in a dark room if you awake during the night.

I really like the design of how it disperses the cool mist through multiple outlets, not only is it functional in that it distributes steam into the air more evenly and quickly, it’s pretty to watch the swirling tendrils of steam dissipate into the air!

There is absolutely no water spurting out or wet spots when using this diffuser. The essential oil aroma dispersion is even, and it is not overly strong or pungent yet the scent can still be detected.

CONCLUSION

Sturdy, attractive, and functional, the MagiForet 400ML Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser provides an even, steady stream of cool mist to add moisture to an overly dry room or office with the option of LED soft colored light to add a soothing glow to the ambiance. I find this ideal for using in a bedroom, or to diffuse lemon oil in a kitchen after cooking or just to freshen the house if the home smells stale. If you are going to give a diffuser as a gift to an essential oil loving friend, this makes for a great one because it is so attractive, sturdy and versatile.
