Essential oils used in fragrance lamps

Fragrance lamps are used to purify and clean the air, remove bacteria, and increase the levels of oxygen in your home or office surroundings. This is accomplished by a catalytic combustion process that occurs when the lamp is burnt. This process combusts the special alcohol based lamp fuel to spread molecules into the air which are able to capture and destroy odor and at the same time deodorize the area.

Though fragrance lamps are available with synthetic fragrance, itís the lamps with essential oils that are mostly sought after. The essential oils are carefully blended so that they give out the correct mixture of antibacterial elements and fragrance into the air. The use of high quality, pure essential oils helps to remove more than 60% of the airís bacteria.

Fragrance Lamp Oils are what makes your fragrance lamp.

Some of the most used essential oils are sandalwood, jasmine, Havana, Vanilla, citrus fruits, eucalyptus, and many others. Each of these oils has specific properties. Eucalyptus oil is known for its ability to cure colds, fever, coughing, and flu. Jasmine oil is used to treat depression, exhaustion, and fatigue. Sandalwood oil is a well known aphrodisiac, while citrus fruit oil is used to treat cold and other related ailments. There are oils available for every mood and ailment and they can be used judiciously to get the maximum benefits.

When you buy a lamp fuel for your lamp, you need to ensure that the fragrance lamp fuel is one which is professionally formulated and of high quality. The fragrance oil or lamp fuel must be one which quickly disperses into the air when the lamp is lit and most importantly be cost effective. This means that using a small quality of fuel must have an effect for a long time. You can change the fragrance used in your lamp, but please do not try mixing your own fragrance recipes because this might damage the lampís burner. You will find that catalytic fuels are made up of high grade ingredients which are not available on the store shelf. When using lamp fuel, ensure you use the right quality so that you do not leave unused fuel in the lamp. Lamp fuel, when left unused for more that one week, can clog the burner.
