Anyone who loves to
incorporate smells into their home knows
that there are some major disadvantages
to commonly used items like candles and
incense. Reed diffusers offer a far safer
option for bringing the scents you love
into your home.
The Dangers
Both scented candles and
incense give off smoke which can be very
irritating to the mucus membranes,
particularly in small children and anyone
who has respiratory issues. On top of
this, they both involve fire.
Anyone who has ever had a
close call with a candle is aware of just
how quickly open flames can go wrong . .
. it just takes a moment for an innocent
apple scented candle to catch the
curtains or a painting on fire and you
are in danger of losing your entire home!
Unfortunately, this is all too common as
more and more people attempt to scent
their home with their favorite smells
with these unsafe methods.
A Safe
Alternative
Reed diffusers don`t
require fire or give off unpleasant smoke
or fumes. Instead, they work by wicking
the essential oils of your choice up
through a number of small channels. The
delicate scent is then exuded by the
reeds in a non-irritating manner,
providing all the scent without the
irritation to lungs and eyes.
In addition to being safe,
reed diffusers actually have several
health benefits. Essential oils are
frequently used in aromatherapy and the
same concepts apply to the aromas that
you use in your home. Want to induce a
calm, peaceful feeling in your room? Try
a lavender reed diffuser oil. For
sparking creativity and increasing
energy, peppermint or similar blends work
very well and are ideal for using in your
home office to help you stay awake, even
without caffeine. Though, of course, you
might find a coffee scented essential oil
to wake you up, as well!
Whether you`re thinking
about aromatherapy and the effects of
each scent on your mind and body or are
just interested in making your house
smell pleasant, reed diffusers are a
great option. Avoid the dangers of open
flames and smoldering which comes with
scented candles and incense and opt for
something safer, instead. Reed diffusers
won`t cause health issues or danger to
your home and they provide a lovely smell
for weeks on end, lasting far longer than
other scenting methods.
