1. Cotton Ball or Tissue Method
One of the simplest ways to diffuse essential oils without a diffuser is by using a cotton ball or tissue.
How to do it:
- Apply a few drops of your chosen Oshu Oils essential oil onto a cotton ball or tissue.
- Place the cotton ball or tissue in a small dish and set it in a high traffic area, such as a hallway, living room, or near your work desk.
- As the air around the cotton ball or tissue moves, the essential oils will evaporate and disperse throughout the room.
2. DIY Reed Diffuser
A reed diffuser is a great alternative to an electric diffuser, allowing you to create a continuous, passive diffusion of your essential oils.
How to make it:
- Fill a small, narrow-necked glass bottle with a mix of carrier oil (e.g., sweet almond oil) and a few drops of your favorite Oshu Oils essential oils. The ratio should be around 75% carrier oil and 25% essential oils.
- Insert 5-10 reed sticks into the bottle. The more reeds you use, the stronger the scent will be.
- Every few days, flip the reeds to refresh the fragrance and ensure optimal diffusion.
3. Stovetop Simmer
Infuse your entire home with the delightful scents of essential oils by using a stovetop simmer.
How to do it:
- Fill a small pot with water, and add a few drops of your favorite Oshu Oils essential oils.
- Bring the water to a gentle simmer, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Make sure to keep an eye on the water level, as you may need to add more water occasionally to prevent it from evaporating entirely.
4. Use a DIY Spray
Create your own essential oil spray to mist around your home, office, or car.
How to make it:
- Fill a small glass spray bottle with distilled water, leaving a little bit of space at the top.
- Add about 15-30 drops of your chosen Oshu Oils essential oils.
- Shake well before each use, and mist freely around your space.
