How to Make Your Own Reed Diffuser

September 19, 2011 By Aromatherapy Diffuser Leave a Comment

Reed DiffuserDo you know that you can actually make your own reed diffuser at home? Read this article as it shares with you a step by step process of how to go about creating your own diffuser using essential oils.

Before you begin with creating the diffuser, make sure that you have everything you need. So here are the ingredients and supplies you will need:

  • 16 drops of Essential oils
  • Dipropylene glycol, fragrance grade (DPGF) – this is also known as the reed diffuser base oil
  • Perfumer’s alcohol – this is optional
  • Diffuser reeds – the reeds must be about a few inches taller than the bottle you’re using
  • Narrow neck glass bottle – make sure not to use plastic or metal containers

So here’s the process:

  1. First, combine the essential oils with the fragrance grade dipropylene glycol (DPGF) to the glass bottle. Make sure that you don’t fill the bottle completely full. You should have enough space left, so that when you put the diffuser reeds to it, the liquid will not spill over the top of the bottle.
  2. Next, cover the bottle with a cap and then mix gently by turning the bottle upside down for a couple of times.
  3. And finally, take away the cap of the bottle and then insert the diffuser reeds in it, while fanning them out.

It could take several hours before the oil wicks all the way up the reeds and then eventually diffuses the scent in the entire room. Afterwards, refresh your reed diffuser by flipping the reed sticks over and over after every two weeks.

A simple aromatherapy diffuser which can be made from materials that are found within your home is what is called a simple tissue diffuser.
