You don’t have to shell out the big bucks for a good essential oil diffuser, but if you’re looking to treat yourself to an option that doubles as a piece of artwork, this is it. Each one is crafted out of a piece of maple wood, so no two are exactly alike.
There’s a built-in lightbulb—making this a great option as a desk lamp or to place on a bookcase for a little extra light—set next to the nebulizing diffuser. Rather than emitting an essential oil, it diffuses the fragrance oil, a warm and captivating blend of amber, coco, vanilla, cedar, and musk. The small dial lets you control the intensity of both the light and the scent.
FAQ
Can you use tap water in your essential oil diffuser?
If you’re unsure, check with the manufacturer on what they recommend using for the specific diffuser. Usually using tap water over distilled water is a personal preference. Some believe the minerals in tap water allow the oil to disperse more effectively into the air. Plus, distilled water would add to the cost of your diffuser if it isn’t something you already purchase for your home. However, some also fear that you could be breathing in impurities by using tap water. Tap water can also cause mineral buildup, which could damage your diffuser’s reservoir over time.
Is it bad to put too much oil in an essential oil diffuser?
In short, yes. As a general rule, you should only be putting three to five drops for every 100 milliliters of water. Putting too much oil in your diffuser can be dangerous, so it’s important to stay within the recommended range.
Can you sleep with a diffuser on?
Yes, it is safe to sleep with an essential oil diffuser on, but you do not want your diffuser to run continuously through the night as this could risk overexposure to the oils. Fortunately, diffusers come equipped with safety features like timers and auto-shutoff to help prevent any overexposure. If your diffuser does not have a timer, try running it for a few minutes before you go to bed and shutting it off.
How often should you change the water in your essential oil diffuser?
Most manufacturers recommend changing your water and cleaning your essential oil diffuser after each use. You can dump any excess water and wipe the reservoir dry with a microfiber cloth.
