Natural Reed Diffuser Recipe

Create a calming and aromatic atmosphere in your home with this simple DIY natural reed diffuser. Using natural ingredients, you can enjoy the benefits of essential oils in any room.

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of sweet almond oil (or any light carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil)
- 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol
- 20-25 drops of essential oils (e.g lavender, eucalyptus, lemon or a blend of your choice)
- 5-6 reed sticks

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oil Mixture:
- In a measuring cup, combine 1/4 cup of sweet almond oil with 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol. The alcohol helps to thin the oil and allows it to travel up the reeds easier.

2. Add Essential Oils:
- Add 20-25 drops of your chosen essential oils to the oil mixture. Essential oils provide the fragrance for your diffuser. You can use a single oil or create a blend to suit your preferences. Stir the mixture well to combine.

3. Transfer to the Bottle:
- Pour the oil mixture into your diffuser jar. Our jars have a narrow opening to slow down the evaporation rate and make the scent last longer.

4. Insert the Reeds:
- Place 5-6 reed sticks into the bottle, ensuring the ends are submerged in the oil mixture. Let the reeds soak up the oil for a few hours, then flip them over to help the fragrance start diffusing into the air.

5. Maintain the Diffuser:
- Flip the reeds every few days to refresh the scent. Replace the oil mixture and reeds every 1-2 months to maintain the effectiveness of the diffuser.

Benefits:

- Sweet Almond Oil: A light carrier oil that effectively carries the scent of the essential oils.
- Rubbing Alcohol: Helps to thin the oil, making it easier for the fragrance to travel up the reeds.
- Essential Oils: Provide a natural and pleasant fragrance, with additional therapeutic benefits depending on the oils used.
- Reeds: Designed to absorb and diffuse the oil mixture into the air.

This DIY natural reed diffuser recipe is an easy and effective way to bring the benefits of essential oils into your home, creating a soothing and aromatic environment.
