Vaporizer Technology

The primary requirement of a aromatherapy vaporizer is the capacity to maintain the temperature of a hot air stream just above the point of vaporization in order to obtain an optimum level of both efficiency and flavor or aroma, along with minimized production of harmful substances, while stopping short of burning and combusting the material. Other important factors are the greatest level of safety for the user and ease of operation.

An aromatherapy vaporizer is designed to heat material to temperatures of 130° to 230° C (266° to 446° F) where active vapors are produced, but below the threshold of combustion.

Vaporizers may reduce harmful toxins, as well as reduce potential toxins from a wide variety of other medicinal and herbal substances. However only recently have studies analyzed the gas phase of the vapor for a wide range of toxins. Research is therefore only in its fundamental stages. 

The unique feature of vaporizers in these applications is the purity of vapor transferred. Material is never burned, it is vaporized, and other devices can't produce the same level of purity. Therefore, vaporizers represent a more sound and healthy way to approach these applications.

In conclusion, vaporizers use a basic principal of heating and blowing air to create vapor, but takes the precision of heat control to a level previously unknown. The basic technique mastered by today's vaporizers allows for a wide range of potential therapeutic applications.
