Directions

Materials You'll Need:

1. Essential oil reed diffuser (including reeds and a container with scented oil)
2. Optional: Extra reeds or skewers for replacement

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Set Up:

   • Choose a location for your reed diffuser. It's best to place it on a stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air conditioning vents. A central location in the room allows for even distribution of the scent.

2. Open the Package:

   • If your reed diffuser comes with packaging, carefully remove it and any plastic or protective wrapping.

3. Insert the Reeds:

   • Open the bottle of scented oil and insert the reeds or bamboo sticks into the bottle. Place them in such a way that they are evenly spaced and can fan out naturally.

4. Soak the Reeds:

   • Allow the reeds to soak in the scented oil for about 1-2 hours. During this time, the oil will start to travel up the reeds, and the scent will begin to diffuse.

5. Flip the Reeds:

   • After the initial soaking period, carefully remove the reeds from the bottle and flip them over so that the soaked ends are now exposed to the air. This helps the scent continue to diffuse effectively.

6. Adjust the Scent Intensity:

   • To adjust the intensity of the scent, you can vary the number of reeds you insert into the bottle. The more reeds you use, the stronger the scent will be.

7. Enjoy the Aroma:

   • As the reeds continue to absorb the scented oil, they will release the fragrance into the air. You'll notice a subtle and consistent aroma filling the room.

8. Maintenance:

   • To refresh the scent, you can flip the reeds once a week or whenever you notice the fragrance becoming faint. Gently turning the reeds helps to re-saturate them with the scented oil.

9. Replacement:

   • Over time, the reeds may become saturated with old oil and lose their effectiveness at diffusing the scent. If this happens, you can replace the reeds with new ones or trim the ends of the existing reeds to encourage better scent diffusion.

10. Refill:

    • When the scented oil in the bottle runs low, you can purchase a refill or create your own blend of carrier oil and essential oils to replenish the diffuser.

11. Safety Precautions:

    • Keep the diffuser out of reach of children and pets.
    • Place the diffuser on a stable surface to prevent spills.
    • Essential oils can stain surfaces, so make sure the diffuser is placed on a suitable surface.
    • Wash your hands after handling essential oils to avoid accidental contact with eyes or sensitive areas.

Using an essential oil reed diffuser is a simple and effective way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy and create a pleasant atmosphere in your living space.
