Japanese Aromatherapy Reed Diffuser
What Started it all:
Bottle, Almond Carrier Oil, Essential Oils, Reed Sticks,
Creating a calming atmosphere in your home can be as simple as making your own reed diffuser. This Japanese-inspired aromatherapy diffuser uses essential oils to fill your space with delightful scents, promoting relaxation and tranquility.
Ingredients
- 1 glass bottle (around 200ml)
- 1/2 cup almond carrier oil
- 25-30 drops of your favorite essential oils (such as ylang-ylang, jasmine, or sandalwood)
- 5-6 reed sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the Bottle: Start by ensuring your glass bottle is clean and dry. This will help the essential oils blend better.
- Mix the Oils: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond carrier oil with the essential oils of your choice. Adjust the number of drops based on how strong you want the scent to be.
- Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the oil mixture into the glass bottle, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Insert Reed Sticks: Place the reed sticks into the bottle, ensuring they are submerged in the oil. The sticks will absorb the oil and disperse the fragrance into the air.
- Let it Sit: Allow the diffuser to sit for a few hours to let the oils soak into the reeds. Flip the reeds every few days to refresh the scent.
- Enjoy: Place your diffuser in a desired location, and enjoy the calming aromas that fill your space.
Making your own Japanese aromatherapy reed diffuser is a simple and enjoyable project that adds a personal touch to your home. Experiment with different essential oil combinations to find your perfect scent!
