FAQ – Aroma burners
What is an aroma burner and how does it work?
An aroma diffuser is an accessory used for scenting a room. By heating an essential oil (usually with a tea light or electrically), the fragrance is released. Ideal for creating a relaxing, natural atmosphere at home.
Which oils can I use in the aroma burner?
Use only pure essential oils or special fragrance oils. Make sure the oil is suitable for room fragrance – do not use cooking or massage oils.
What is the difference between an aroma burner and a diffuser?
Aroma burners work with heat (candle or electricity), while diffusers usually use ultrasound and water. Burners offer an intense fragrance, diffusers a finer mist – both are suitable for different preferences.
Are aroma burners dangerous or harmful to health?
Not if used correctly. Important: Never leave burning unattended, use a heat-resistant surface, and always use high-quality oils. Keep out of direct reach of children and pets.
How do I properly clean an aroma burner?
Let it cool down, remove any oil residue with kitchen paper and clean the bowl with warm water – do not use harsh cleaners.
How long should an aroma burner run?
A tea light burns for approximately 3–4 hours. For gentle fragrance, 30–60 minutes of use is usually sufficient. Ventilate well afterwards.
Can aromatherapy burners be used in the bedroom?
Yes, but only with gentle scents (e.g., lavender) and never left unattended overnight. For continuous nighttime fragrance, electric diffusers with a timer are recommended.
What should I look for when buying an aroma burner?
Important features include heat-resistant materials (e.g., ceramic), a stable construction, and a sufficiently large bowl for oils. Design and ease of use also play a role.
