DIY Reed Diffuser: How To Make An Essential Oil Diffuser
In case aromatherapy is your thing, you're going to love how easy it is to make your very own essential oil diffuser...
Servings: 1 diffuser
Cost: $20 or less
Equipment
- Spoon for blending oils optional
Ingredients
- 1 diffuser bottle or vase
- 3.5 oz pure liquid Coconut carrier oil
- Rattan reeds for reed diffusing sticks
- Essential oil combinations of your choice
Instructions
- Fill your diffuser vase with 3.5 ounces of liquid carrier oil like coconut oil (or even baby oil).
- Add 3 drops of your favorite essential oil blend to the vase.
- Insert 5 to 7 of the rattan reeds into the vase, and you're all set.
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.
