Reed Diffusers vs. Other Home Fragrance Options
There are many ways to scent a room, each with unique features/benefits as well as disadvantages. These comparisons should not be taken as a disparagement of methods other than reed diffusers, simply a comparison that points out the advantages of using reed diffusers.
Scented Candles vs. Reed Diffusers – While candles can enhance a room with their warm glow as well as their scent, the most obvious advantage of reed diffusers over candles is the lack of flame. The National Fire Prevention Association says that the rate of fires caused by candles is skyrocketing (CBS News Report). Potential problems include putting them near flammable objects, glass holders that can break and cause a lit candle to tumble out, candles designed for relaxation (you could fall asleep with the candle still lit), and candles that might look like a toy. Reed diffusers don’t have a flame that you have to remember to put out. Many places such as office buildings and college dorm rooms won’t allow the burning of candles, but reed diffusers are okay. Besides the safety concerns, the lack of a flame with reed diffusers means that your reed diffusers can work continuously as opposed to candles which only work when they are lit. Strictly on an aesthetic level, though candles are beautiful, when they melt, their shape is distorted. Reed diffusers generally look the same over time except for the lowering of the liquid in the bottle (if dyed reeds are used the color of the liquid may change over time as well). Additionally, reed diffusers are elegant and very unique looking compared to the more casual look of most candles)
Flowers vs. Reed Diffusers – Nature’s creation is unparalleled in beauty, fragrance, and ambience. However when it comes to longevity, flowers don’t hold a candle to reed diffusers. Most of the reed diffusers offered on ReedDiffuserStore.com last 2-6 months depending on the size/brand (some customers have even reported a year). A gift of reed diffusers will keep on giving long after flowers have wilted.
Incense vs. Reed Diffusers – One of the oldest methods of adding fragrance an environment, incense has been an article familiar to humanity since the dawn of civilization. However, there are two major drawbacks to incense: smoke and fire. Reed diffusers are smokeless and flameless. The smoke produced by incense can cancel out the positive smell for many people, especially for those with more sensitive immune systems. We have heard rave reviews about reed diffusers as a smokeless alternative to incense from our customers who have asthma or respiratory complications of some kind Additionally, many places such as offices and college dorms prohibit the burning of incense. You can find many of the popular incense fragrances as reed diffusers.
Sprays vs. Reed Diffusers – Sprays have their place but you have deal with tiny drops of liquid being launched into the air that you might inhale. With the aerosol sprays you have to worry about the piggy-backing of more dangerous particles into the respiratory tracts. This fine mist can be bothersome to those with respiratory complications (see incense). Additionally, sprays are only a temporary solution as you only get the benefit of the spray when you use it and for a little while after. Reed diffusers don’t launch tiny particles in the air and they are continually working.
How Reed Diffusers Work (Scent Diffusion)
Using a combination of essential oils (fragrances) and additional mixing/thinning agents, reed diffuser oil is created. This reed diffuser oil is then placed in a bottle (usually glass) much like perfume or cologne. With the bottle left open, the fragrant reed diffuser oil will naturally disperse into the air, like potpourri. However, simply leaving the bottle open will not adequately diffuse the scents/fragrances over a large enough radius to fill a room. To do that, you need a method of enhancing the diffusion process. One possible method people use is to place the mixture into a vessel and then heat the liquid to make it evaporate, thus increasing the rate & radius of scent diffusion. Scented candles also work in this way where the heat of the flame melts the wax (which has been mixed with essential oils) and causes evaporation, again increasing the rate and radius of diffusion.. Reed diffusers are a way of accomplishing the same goal of increased scent/fragrance diffusion but without the need for heat or fire. Reed diffusers, as the name implies, use reeds as a scent/fragrance diffusion enhancers. Usually the reeds are willow/rattan, marsh reeds, star bamboo, or toko grass. The reeds used in reed diffusers work by absorbing the essential oils and becoming moist and then transferring the scented diffuser oil up to the surrounding air by capillary action (much like a celery stick that wicks up water). Then the scent/fragrance is naturally wicked/emitted into the environment as the air comes in contact with the surface area of the reed sticks.
As reed diffusers do not need heat/flame to accomplish scent/fragrance diffusion, they are safer and they can be used continuously. For more on how to use reed diffusers click here.
Reed Diffusers, Essential Oils, and Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy has become very popular and is considered by many to be a form of holistic medicine used to treat various psychological and physical conditions.

Essential oils are the corner stone of aromatherapy. Essential or "essence" oils are the aromatic, highly concentrated essence of plants. Essential oils are extracted from the fruits, bark, leaf, flower, stem, or root of a plant. The oil used in most reed diffusers is made with essential oils. In the interests of full disclosure, most but not all reed diffusers offered on ReedDiffuserStore.com are made with essential oils. Some fragrances like that of Orchids are not easily obtained directly from the plant itself but are instead synthetically created to match the fragrant compounds found in various orchids. You can find a list of essential oils here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_oil. If its on this list and in one of the reed diffusers we offer, then that reed diffuser is most likely made with essential oils.
