Are you looking for a fun and decorative way to enjoy your essential oils? A Reed Diffuser might be just the thing! Start by finding a jar or vase with a narrow opening. Then, add your blend of essential oils, vodka and fractionated coconut oil. Insert your reeds and enjoy passive diffusion! This blend combines the citrusy and soothing Yuzu with the complex herbaceous and floral Lavender Fine. Lastly, it adds the relaxing notes of Catnip with the fresh minty aroma of Peppermint.

This looks like a great recipe! I think I might need to add catnip to my cart.
Thanks for the timely post. Time to experiment again!
Interesting, will share to friends.
I have never used a reed diffuser before, but this great recipe makes me want to try it 🙂 thank you!
Geeez, now I have another DIY project to do. LOL!!
PT makes it look soooooo easy!
I absolutely love this idea for bathrooms, hallways, and guest bedrooms. Very unique way of freshening areas, while keeping clean products at bay. Thank you!
I have wanted to know how to use a reed diffuser for a long time. Thank you for the information and the recipe!
This is timely for me. My dad just gave me a reed diffuser yesterday. I was wondering how I was going to use my oils in it. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing different ways of diffusing. I thought I was limited to my diffuser, but this is a good lower key way to do so.
Because I have 3 cats I don’t diffuse at all or use oils in cleaning – is this a safe method to use in a household with indoor only cats? Thank you!
Unfortunately, cats are still exposed to oils even in passive diffusion. We recommend using personal inhalers as the best way to enjoy oils with cats around.
That’s what I thought – thanks for clarifying!
This is SO easy, I never realized how simple it is to make your own reed diffuser! Definitely more affordable than others you buy fully online – this way, you also know exactly what’s in it too!
I’m so excited to find this blog about reed diffusers. I have used some ‘chemical/perfumey’ type reed diffusers from a well known candle company but I was never thrilled about the chemicals in my house. Now I can use my own oils and aromatherapy supplies to create my own natural reed diffusers. Thanks so much Plant Therapy!!
I’m so excited to try this! I want to put it on my kitchen windowsill and enjoy the aroma! I hope Plant Therapy gets Yuzu back in stock soon, as I would NEVER buy oils from anyone else!!
