• 8-10 Diffuser Reeds Rattan Reed Sticks
• 1/4 cup A Light Carrier Oil Light Carrier Oil (ex: sweet Almond Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Sunflower oil)

I N S T R U C T I O N S

• 1. Using your funnel, pour the Carrier Oil into your Glass Bottle.

  2. Add the Witch Hazel.

  3. Infuse your Favorite Essential Oil Blend. 

  4. Swirl it around ever so gently to blend your creation.

  5. Add the Diffuser Reeds. Fan them out in a circle.

  6. Let soak for 1 hour. Then flip the diffuser reed sticks upside down to fully saturate the scent. Patiently wait a few days before the aroma fills the room.

N O T E S

+ Flip the reed sticks every few days to 1 week to refresh the botanical scent. Add more Essential Oils and swirl when the scent has diminished.

+  Change the reeds 1x/month or when you notice them getting darker (saturated) in color. Clean out the glass bottle and re-create this recipe.

+  Essential Oils Reed Diffusers release a very delicate scent (unlike the strong “artificially” scented reeds). If you notice the scent is too subtle for your liking, you are welcome to adjust the amount of Essential Oils you use or add a higher strength alcohol to the blend.

Make more than one homemade reed diffuser and place them in the main living space, bathrooms, kitchen area and bedrooms. If you have a larger living space, use more than one diffuser to cover the area with more scent.

You can create a different atmosphere for each room, and infuse your home with an irresistible aroma.

If you are wanting a stronger aroma, try exploring an essential oil diffuser. They are great for aromatherapy and for supporting your wellness during the winter months.
