Can you use other oils in Scentsy diffuser?
Yes. Though scentsy oils have been specifically formulated for an optimal fragrance experience, using other companies’ oils will not harm the scentsy diffuser or void the warranty. So, can you use essential oils in aroma diffusers? Absolutely. In fact, they’re the most effective and natural way to fill your home with delightful scents while benefiting from therapeutic effects.
Can I put oil in my Scentsy?
Add water to the fill line in the reservoir and pour in 8-12 drops of Oil. Experiment! You can adjust the amount of Oil to suit your preferences and the size of your space. Pour 1⁄4 cup of hot tap water into an attractive jar or container. Add 1⁄4 cup alcohol (I used rubbing alcohol, but apparently vodka works, too) and 20-25 drops of whatever essential oil you want to use. Swirl to mix. Note: You may want to use distilled water or cooled boiled water, as these will last longer.
What can I use to refill my diffuser?
You can make a refill with 4 simple ingredients – distilled water, carrier oil (like almond oil / grape seed oil), vodka (or rubbing alcohol) and essential oils. You’ll have a beautiful smelling reed-diffuser in under two minutes! Make sure to keep this refill out of direct sunlight and flip your reed sticks everyday. Add 10 drops of your chosen essential oil to each container. Gently swirl the mixture with the reeds to combine—no need for vigorous stirring. Flip the reeds over to help the scent diffuse. Test the strength of the scent by having a little sniff.Choose a spot where air can circulate, such as near a fan or air vent, to help distribute the fragrance throughout the room. Avoid placing the diffuser in direct sunlight or near drafts, as this can cause the oil to evaporate too quickly.Since reed diffusers are constantly diffusing, you also can’t fine-tune and control the level of fragrance being scented the way you can with a high end electric diffuser. This means that depending on the size of the room, some reed diffusers can be either overpowering, or go completely unnoticed.
What essential oils should not be used in a diffuser?
Popular essential oils that should be diffused with caution, because they’re mucous membrane irritants: bay. Potential risks: Inhalation of certain essential oils can trigger asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals. Strong odors, such as those from essential oils, may act as irritants and lead to bronchoconstriction (tightening of the smooth muscles around the airways), coughing, or shortness of breath.Avoid inhaling undiluted oils directly, as this can lead to irritation. Diffuser safely: If using a diffuser, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure that the space is well ventilated. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of essential oils is associated with negative heart issues and lung symptoms.
