What is a diffuser?

For those who are beginning to be interested in the world of fragrances, let’s start by understanding what a diffuser is. 

A diffuser is a device capable of spreading essential oils in the air. This can be used simply to keep rooms smelling pleasant, or as aromatherapy. 

The aromatherapy is based on the belief that some aromatic oils from natural sources can be used to have a physical effect on the person who smells them. It can be used to improve your physical but also mental health. 

It is because we tend to associate some scents with certain feelings, such as security and calm. 

What are essential oils?

We said that diffusers spread “essential oils” but, what are essential oils?

Essential oils are liquids extracted from certain plants through a manufacturing process. These plants in many cases are medicinal to be able to apply in aromatherapy. These oils are characterized by being highly concentrated. 

Of course, you can also find essential oils from plants that, although they are not medicinal, provide a quite exquisite aroma.

Essential oils can be extracted in different ways, the most common ones being by steam or water distillation or cold pressing.  

Due to the concentration that essential oils have by nature; it is important to use them with caution. If they are going to be applied directly to the body, it must be done under medical supervision. Most of the time when they are used in creams these oils are diluted. 

The most common and also popular essential oils are lavender, lemon, peppermint, lemongrass, sweet orange, and tea tree. 

What is a reed diffuser?

All this preamble was necessary to know how diffusers work. In this particular case, we are going to talk about reed diffusers. 

Reed diffusers are mainly made up of three components. Firstly, a small jar or bowl made of glass. Secondly, around 5 or 7 wooden sticks. Finally, the essential oil of preference. 

The operation of this type of diffuser is quite simple. The oil is placed in the jar, and later the wooden sticks are placed inside. Once the sticks have been impregnated completely with the oil, the scent will begin to flow through the room. 

Once the oil in the jar has run out, it will have to be replaced. The good thing about this method is that it does not require heat, water, or electricity. 

If you want to change the fragrance you are using, it is important that before applying the new oil in the container it is washed previously. In the same way, it is recommended to change the sticks so that they can be impregnated with the new essence. 

This type of diffuser is recommended for closed spaces, where there is not much ventilation. For example, you could place it in the bathroom, the bedroom or a small office. Although they are safe enough to place in the kitchen, we recommend you keep them away from the heat, because the wood and the oils are extremely flammable. It is best to consider this to avoid any accidents. Reed diffusers are also excellent if you do not have too much time because it requires the least amount of maintenance. 

You can find them in different sizes and with a variety of fragrances to choose from according to your taste, like the ones that we will show you below.
