Equipment

  • Spoon for blending oils optional

Instructions

  • Fill your diffuser vase with 3 1/2 ounces of liquid carrier oil like coconut oil.
  • Add 3 drops of your favorite essential oil blend to the vase.
  • Insert 5-7 of the rattan reeds into the vase.

Notes

  • Since there is no timer on a reed diffuser like the traditional aromatherapy diffusers have, you don't want to add too much of an essential oil and accidentally overpower the room. 
  • Essential oils have a chemical base and you want to be sure to not risk overexposing yourself, pets, children, or anyone else to too many oils.
  • Be sure to read up on potential toxic essential oils and proper usage before making your own essential oil diffuser at home.
