It is extremely easy to use an oil burner. First, we fill the bowl at the top of the burner with water and place a few drops of essential oils on the water. Next, we place a lighted tea light underneath the bowl. The water and essential oils begin to heat and evaporate as steam, letting the aroma of the essential oils fill the room and spread the feeling of goodness and well-being. Even though using an oil burner is very simple and safe, still we must take certain precautions while using one. Most importantly, we should never leave the lighted candle unattended; even though it is a small tea light, as a spark is all that’s needed to light a fire. Secondly, we should neither let all the water evaporate from the bowl nor add cold water to a hot bowl, as this will crack it.

A fragrance or scent can change our mood and trigger certain emotions. Have you ever wondered how this happens? Well here is the answer. The sense of smell in 10,000 times more sensitive than any other sense and thus smelling an invigorating scent awakens our senses and brings back old memories. When we smell an essence, the scent wafts up through our nose to our olfactory receptor neurons, which then send a message to the brain through the receptor bulbs, which are located at the back of our nose. The part of your brain that is then stimulated revs up stored memories, thereby influencing emotions, and, at the same time, modifying conscious thought. Thus, our mood is altered for the better.
