How to Use an Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelet

A diffuser bracelet is one of the simplest ways to carry a favorite scent with you all day. No plug, no water, no candle. Just a few drops of essential oil on the right beads, and a little calm or a little energy whenever you lift your wrist. Here is how to use one, how long the scent lasts and how to take care of it.

What makes a bracelet a "diffuser" bracelet?

The secret is lava stone. Lava beads are formed from cooled volcanic rock, so they are full of tiny pores. Those pores soak up essential oil and release the scent slowly over the day. Our manifestLETS diffuser bracelets include lava beads for exactly this reason, alongside gemstones or wood beads chosen for their meaning.

How to use your diffuser bracelet, step by step

1. Pick your oil. Choose a scent that matches your mood or your intention for the day. Calming scents like lavender are popular in the evening, while citrus and peppermint feel bright and energizing. Our Magnifying Blend Trio was made for this.
2. Apply 1 to 3 drops directly to the lava beads. Only the lava beads, not the gemstones, wood or metal. A little goes a long way.
3. Let it soak in for a minute. Rub the drop gently over the bead.
4. Wear it and breathe. Whenever you need a reset, bring your wrist close, take a slow breath and remember why you are wearing it.

How long does the scent last?

Most people notice the scent for several hours, and often for most of the day. It fades faster in heat or after hand washing. When it fades, simply add another drop.

Tips for wearing a diffuser bracelet

• Undiluted oils can irritate skin. If you have sensitive skin, let the oil soak into the bead fully before wearing, and stop using any oil that bothers you.
• Take it off to swim or shower. Water rinses out the oil and is hard on the elastic.
• Roll it on and off gently. Avoid over-stretching the bracelet so the elastic lasts longer.

Make it more than a scent

Our bracelets also give you a way to carry your intention. Our Healing & Hope gemstone bracelets include a Manifesting Barrel: write your intention on the tiny scroll, roll it up and tuck it inside. Our Secret Intention bracelets spell a word in Morse code that only you know. So each time you breathe in the scent, you are reminded of what you are working toward.
