Where Can Reed Diffusers Be Used?

Reed diffusers, like scented candles, are used to make any space smell fragrant and pleasant and get rid of unpleasant odors. They are also used in aromatherapy to provide healing benefits for the mind and body.

How Do Reed Diffusers Work?

Reed sticks are 4 mm thick sticks of rattan wood that are dipped into a vessel containing your favorite essential oil. The other end of the stick is exposed to the air allowing the oil to travel up the absorbent stick and disperse tiny molecules of the fragrance into the air. It is recommended to flip the reed sticks at least once every 4-5 days to retain their fragrance, and you can control the intensity of the scent by adding or reducing the number of reed sticks used. The standard number of sticks to use is about 8-10. A standard reed diffuser lasts about 5-6 months, depending on the number of reed sticks used.

Where Are The Best Places To Keep Your Reed Diffuser?

Pleasant fragrances enhance the beauty of space even more. The way a room smells also creates a memory of the place in our minds. If it is a pleasant smell, then our brain will automatically make a fond association with the place. The sense of smell can trigger the memory centers in our brain and can display images of places, people, and feelings associated with that smell with a lot of clarity.
