Things You Should Know About Reed Diffusers

Reed diffusers are a great way to add fragrance to your home or any interior environment. A reed diffuser is a simple, elegant, and effective way to infuse fragrance into any space or room without an open flame.

The scent emitted by reed diffusers comes from a unique and simple reed wick wicking system.  The diffuser oil penetrates up through the length of the reed diffuser wand, allowing the scent to fill the room. Reed diffusers use essential oils or fragrance oils mixed with a special non-toxic dispersion base, allowing the reed diffuser to not only add fragrance to a room but also to fill the room with therapeutic properties of essential oils.

If you choose to use these products in your home, understanding how they work can help you get the best results. This simple guide can help you whether you already use reed diffusers or are interested in purchasing some for your home. You can find the high quality reed diffusers, click here.

What is the history behind this home fragrance option?

Aromatherapy has been around for thousands of years, as ancient cultures recognized the powerful benefits of natural herbs, spices, and oils. However, it wasn't until the Middle Ages that doctors and scientists discovered the process of distilling liquids, which were then used to harvest the natural oils of plants.

The concept of the reed diffuser has probably been used for centuries, using a variety of natural materials to absorb and disperse the fragrance of essential oils. Modern versions have only become popular in the last few decades.

How long do they usually last in the average home?

A well-maintained reed diffuser made with quality products should last about a month before it needs to be refilled or replaced. With proper use and care, some versions can last up to four months. If you find that it does not effectively release a pleasant scent within a few days or weeks, you may need to invest in a higher-quality perfume solution. The design may also be the culprit. Also, make sure you follow the care recommendations to enjoy the best results for the longest time. View more information about the reed diffuser, click here.

How do I use a reed diffuser?

One of the simplest but most effective home fragrance solutions, the reed diffuser consists of three parts: a narrow-necked bottle, fragrance oil and reeds. To set up the reed diffuser and enjoy the wonderful aroma, simply pour the liquid into the bottle (or open the cap if the oil is already in the bottle), place the reeds, arrange them neatly and place them in the desired position.

The reed sticks absorb the fragrance oil and naturally release it into the air, giving off a continuous and pleasant aroma without the use of any electricity, heat, or flame. You should start smelling the fragrance the moment you set the diffuser, but it usually takes about 30-60 minutes until the reeds soak themselves and begin to emit the scent.

The more reeds you add, the stronger the scent will be. It is usually recommended to start with 3-5 reeds, but if your reed diffuser will be placed in a large room, add 1-2 more reeds than usual.

How should you care for your reed diffuser?

This home fragrance option requires some simple but important maintenance to remain effective. First, make sure you gently swirl or stir the fragrance solution weekly. This helps prevent the essential oils from separating and settling to the bottom, which can reduce the effectiveness. Next, turn the reeds every three to four days. This helps keep the wood moist so that it continues to release the fragrance oils into the air. Finally, replace the reed sticks once a month.

Can you make your own version?

You can purchase a reed diffuser from almost any home store or online. Prices can range from economical to expensive. However, if you want to customize your options for a specific design or scent, making your own homemade version is easy. Many places offer all the products you need to do it yourself. A simple online search can help you find local options for purchasing the necessary supplies.
