Whether you want guests to feel welcome or just want to bring positive energy into your home environment, reed diffusers are an effective way to achieve your goals. Unlike electric diffusers or candles, reed diffusers do not need to be lit and do not require batteries or plugs. A collection of reeds (or wooden sticks) pulls the scented oils from a narrow-necked bottle into the reed body, where the scent evaporates into the air. Aside from refilling the bottle a few times a year, reed diffusers require almost no maintenance or care to operate. To help you choose a reed diffuser for your home, here are some examples of some of the best reed diffusers available online.

These reed diffuser sticks from M&H are made of high quality rattan. These sticks naturally contain “channels” within the core structure for better absorption and diffusion of oil. Each M&H diffuser rod is treated with a mold protection and drying treatment to prevent mold from forming. This is especially important if you plan to place your diffuser in a damp place like a bathroom.
These replacement bars are made to an industry standard 10 inches long and 3 millimeters in diameter. These are ideal dimensions for almost every diffuser on the market. Each box contains 100 diffuser leaves, each with a natural wood color. Place the reed sticks in a diffuser bottle, make sure the stick is moistened throughout. Then the essence of the essential oil evaporates through the porous diffuser sticks and into the room atmosphere.
