Aromatherapy, which means a therapy that uses the scent to health the mind and body, is highly appreciated by medical scientists and medical experts around the world.

According to the present scientific evidence, aromatherapy is essential oil (essential oil) extracted from flowers, stems, leaves, berries, roots, shells and seeds of various herbs with beneficial ingredients. Oils) can provide various health effects such as stress relief, mental concentration, relaxation, and skin beauty, as well as various disease healing effects.

On the other hand, as a method of absorbing the essential oil into the body, various therapies such as inhalation, bathing, and skin massage are widely used.

In particular, the inhalation method is a very suitable treatment for modern people living a busy life because it is less restricted in time and place in the implementation of the inhalation method. There was a problem that was not easy.

Looking at the suction method currently used, a method in which the vessel containing the essential oil is heated by a lamp to diffuse the vapor of the essential oil into the atmosphere or the nose is directly sucked into the vessel. However, this method is not only very cumbersome because it requires the container to be heated, and has a lot of limitations in place.

Although attempts have been made to inhale fragrance through mechanisms such as the fragrance device disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 194627 or the fragrance emanation device for electronic products disclosed in Patent Application No. 24948, these devices are also not easy to carry. There was this. In addition, in the case of decorative fragrance for emitting the fragrance disclosed in the Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 2000-0008017, although it is easy to carry, the fragrance is always released through the fragrance release hole, so it is economically expensive to disperse it with expensive essential oils. It was a big thing.

Preferred essential oil intake mechanisms should be devised in view of the properties of essential oils in addition to the disadvantages of the prior art described above.

In general, essential oils may be deteriorated when mixed with chemicals such as LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) or ethanol, and since the concentration is very high, adverse effects may occur, such as irritating the skin when spraying the stock solution unintentionally. .

Accordingly, the essential oil intake mechanism may be configured to naturally diffuse essential oil vapor into the air without incorporating chemicals, and to selectively spray an appropriate amount of essential oil according to a user's needs. Furthermore, it is to be understood that essential oils are very highly concentrated fragrances, so that even if the droplets are sprayed only in the gaseous state without being sprayed visually, very large aromatherapy effects can be obtained.

The present invention was devised in consideration of the above problems, and can be easily carried and used without restriction in time and place, and a user can optionally spray an appropriate amount of essential oil, if necessary, a portable aromatherapy nebulizer The purpose is to provide.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide an aromatherapy nebulizer which allows only air to be used as the essential oil diluent to inhale pure essential oils that are not altered.

Essential oil is stored in the button 34 of the aromatherapy nebulizer according to the present embodiment. In addition, since the nozzle 34a provided in the button 34 maintains the normally closed state, the essential oil in the liquid state and the essential oil in the gas state coexist in the button 34. When the user presses the button 34 to inhale the essential oil, the bellows pump 31 is compressed and pneumatically generated in association with this, and the pneumatic pressure passes through the essential oil inflow prevention layer 31a to allow the button 34 to be pressed. It is introduced inside. At this time, since the pressure inside the button 34 increases, the nozzle 34a is opened and the gaseous essential oil stored in the button 34 is sprayed to the outside through the nozzle 34a.

As described above, although the present invention has been described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto and is intended by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of equivalents of the claims to be described.

The portable aromatherapy nebulizer according to the present invention is simple in structure and can be manufactured in a small volume, so that the portable aromatherapy can be easily enjoyed.

For example, the essential oil of rosemary, pepper, bezel, lime, brush, etc., stored in the aromatherapy nebulizer of the present invention and carried when sprayed or inhaled while driving or studying can improve concentration, attention, get rid of fatigue and drowsiness. The prevention effect can also be obtained. In particular, when the aromatherapy nebulizer of the present invention is to be provided in a car, it can be suspended from the ceiling or attached to a room mirror, so that it can function as an accessory and at the same time purify the air in the car. You can get it.

Since the aromatherapy nebulizer according to the present invention is sprayed according to the user's intention, unlike the existing products, it is possible to solve the disadvantage that unnecessary expensive oil is wasted unnecessary by evaporation by itself.

In addition, the nebulizer of the present invention does not need to use chemicals such as LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), and thus has the advantage of being able to inhale the vapor of pure essential oils that are not altered.
