What kind of diffuser are you using? Electric, candle-powered, or other kind?

electric diffuser.. optima I believe is the brand name.. glass nozzle on the end..
I notice in recipes it says... 2 drops of this 2 drops of that.. but it doesn't reach the end of the tube inside the glass nozzle.. do I customize it to reach that.. is it too much if I do.. will it still draw something if it doesn't touch.. I am using lavendar, tea tree and eucalyptus as we seem to be encountering sinus and such right now.. I am using aura cacia oils from natures market wegmans which is the best option in my area barring online..
thanks so much for helping..

I have to admit that I haven't used an electric diffuser, but I'd stick with whatever the directions on the box say. There's probably a fan or something that helps the volatile chemicals in the essential oils become airborne.

And there's nothing wrong with Aura Cacia - I use them myself for both personal and commercial preparations. ;) Hope your sinuses feel better!
