Using a tea candle diffuser is a straightforward way to enjoy aromatherapy in your home. Simply put a spoon of water and 5 - 10 drops of the oil into the bowl and light a small candle below.
Simple Steps for Using Your Tea Candle Diffuser
Tea candle diffusers, also known as oil burners, are designed to spread fragrance and light using the gentle heat of a tea light candle. They typically consist of a small bowl or dish positioned above a base where a tea light candle is placed.
Here's a simple guide on how to use one:
- Add Water: Place a spoon of water into the small bowl located at the top of the diffuser.
- Add Essential Oil: Add 5 to 10 drops of your favorite essential oil or fragrance oil to the water in the bowl. The amount can be adjusted based on your preference and the size of the room.
- Place & Light Candle: Insert a small tea light candle into the base of the diffuser below the bowl and light it.
- Diffusion Begins: The tea light warms up the water and essential oils in the saucer. As the liquid heats, the aromas and fragrance are diffused into the air.
This method is easy to use and effective for creating a pleasant atmosphere in a small to medium-sized space. Ensure the bowl doesn't run dry while the candle is lit, as this can cause the oil residue to burn. Always place the diffuser on a stable, heat-resistant surface and keep it away from flammable materials, drafts, children, and pets.
To change scents or clean the diffuser, wait for it to cool down, discard any remaining water/oil, and wipe the bowl clean with a damp cloth.
