What is a reed diffuser?

A reed diffuser is usually a little bottle with a long neck that holds essential oils. It has reed sticks, which are long, thin strips of material that absorb the oils and spread the aroma throughout the space.

How Do Reed Diffusers Work?

Depending on the aroma you choose, a variety of oils are added to a tiny container. Next, the container is filled with reed sticks, which are long, thin strips of synthetic polyamide or rattan wood.  Capillary action is the method by which the mixture in a reed diffuser is absorbed into the sticks. The aroma of the space comes from the oils that evaporatively disperse into the air after soaking into the reeds. The natural method is a safer and more environmentally friendly substitute for candles and spray cans in homes, workplaces, and classrooms because it doesn't use toxic aerosols or burning materials to produce scents.

How to use diffuser reeds?

The way you arrange the reeds in the jar affects the fragrance from your diffuser. Most reed diffusers have 12 to 15 reeds. More reeds mean stronger aroma and better diffusion. The more reeds there are, the faster the oil combination is used up. Also, where the reeds are placed matters a lot. When grouped, the wind around the reeds is restricted. This limits diffusion to a small area. Spreading them out helps airflow, allowing the aroma to fill the space. The length of the reeds also supports this. The aroma diffuses more widely and quickly through longer reeds than shorter ones because they catch more air.

Is it possible to refill my reed diffuser?

Adding more oil reed diffuser is quite simple.

Since reeds are usually stored in sleek, open jars, filling them is as easy as selecting your preferred perfume, adding the oil combination, and swapping out the old reeds.

Where is the best place to put a reed diffuser?

The most dynamic air is the ideal location for a reed diffuser. Diffusers are better positioned to benefit from the room's airflow when placed in open, high-up spaces.  But keep it away from doors and windows that are open. Much of the fragrance will be lost outside, but there will be more ventilation and convection to benefit from.
