Soothing Reed Diffuser Made With Essential Oils
Reed diffusers are decorative air fresheners for the home that work with scented oils and reeds. The oil travels up the reeds to release their fragrance into the air around them. No need to use aerosol sprays, light candles or plugin air fresheners, the process handles itself naturally.
Reed diffusers are the hottest trend right now in home fragrancing. Rattan reeds are inserted into a glass bottle , or glass jar or ceramic pot of scented diffuser oil.
Each rattan reed contains about 20 “channels” that run the entire length of the reed. Much like “mini-straws “, these channels “suck” the oil to the top of the reeds. The scent is then naturally dispersed into the air through evaporation- leaving your home smelling wonderful.
Unlike candles, reed diffusers are flame free and do not require any heat. They disperse scent into the air naturally. No flame means no soot and more importantly, no risk of fire ! This makes reed diffusers safer for your home, office, classroom, etc.
Are your reeds bamboo or rattan ?
Our reeds are premium quality RATTAN reeds. There is a lot of misinformation on the web about reeds. Reeds are not bamboo. Perhaps people confuse rattan reeds with bamboo as rattan reeds look somewhat similar to bamboo skewers. However, bamboo reeds or chutes would not work as they do not contain the channels for the oils to wick (travel) up. Bamboo contains “nodes” which block liquid from wicking (traveling) up and scenting the air.
Can I re-use my reeds ?
No. Once reeds have been used for a certain scent, you cannot use them for another scent. The scent that is already absorbed into your reeds will mix with the new scent and could produce undesirable scent combinations.
You can make a homemade version of reed diffuser oil with just a few simple ingredients that you can easily find locally. Keep reading to learn more.
There’s a reason why real estate agents say to bake cookies right before an open house. Whether consciously or subconsciously, the smell of a space has the ability to alter the feeling someone gets just by inhaling. The internet has tons of air freshener options, but the best reed diffusers can refresh your space immediately with minimal effort on your part.
Unlike candles or electric diffusers, reed diffusers don’t require any flames, plugs, or batteries. Instead, they use wooden sticks (or reeds) to pull the fragrance oils from the bottom of the bottle to the top of the reed, where the scent then evaporates into the air. They require pretty much zero maintenance or remembering to do anything, besides maybe refilling the bottle every couple of months. That’s why they’re one of the best ways to freshen up your home.
Scientific studies have proven that fragrances can interact with the brain to impact our moods, stress levels, and even working capacities. That’s because they can cross over the blood-brain barrier and interact with receptors in the central nervous system. Whether you have a home office, are looking to make your guests feel welcome, or just want a more uplifting environment for yourself, reed diffusers are an effective way to get there. Of course, scent preferences are subjective, so I’ve included some of the best and most diverse the Internet has to offer.
