What is a reed diffuser?


While reed diffusers come in a range of forms and sizes, they all include three fundamental components:

  • Essential oils

  • Reed sticks

  • Vessel (typically in a glass container that stores the oil and reeds)

The fragrant oil, which is commonly a combination of essential oils, is put within the reed diffuser's glass jar.


Reed sticks are typically constructed from natural rattan reeds and inserted in the vessel with one end immersed in oil and the other exposed to the atmosphere. Small holes in the reeds enable the fragrance oil to be ingested and move to the top portion of the sticks.


As the oil dissipates and distributes the aroma particles into the atmosphere, it reaches the section of the reed that is outside of the container.

Once you've determined that the sticks have absorbed enough oil, you should rotate them from time to time. That is, the dry unsaturated side of the sticks ought to be near to the diffusing vessel, whereas the saturated side should be located in the atmosphere.


Step 3: Reorient the sticks
