Our Story: The Inventors of the Nebulizing Diffuser®

Organic Aromas invented the Nebulizing Diffuser®. The company was founded in 2014 by certified aromatherapist Huang Hsin Yueh together with inventor Roger Yang, and it holds the U.S. registered trademark for the term “Nebulizing Diffuser” (Reg. No. 5,268,248). Every Organic Aromas Nebulizing Diffuser atomizes pure essential oil with cold air, using no water, no heat and no plastic reservoir.

How It Started

Huang Hsin Yueh is a holistic health practitioner with professional certification in practical aromatherapy. In 2011, while working with a client whose immune system was compromised, she started looking for a cleaner way to fill a room with essential oil. Heated diffusers change the oil. Ultrasonic diffusers dilute it in a tank of water. Neither delivered the pure oil she wanted to work with.

She brought the problem to Roger Yang, an inventor and manufacturer of precision air pumps. Together they spent two years testing designs before arriving at a proprietary construction based on Bernoulli’s Principle: a fast stream of air passes over a fine tube, draws the oil up, and breaks it into a mist of tiny particles inside a glass reservoir. That design became the first Organic Aromas Nebulizing Diffuser, and it launched the company in 2014.
