Paired with
essential oils, our sculptures offer a calming experience combining the beauty of
handmade art with the ancient craft of aromatherapy. Our Pacific Northwest
clay-body releases essences, relaxing our nervous system and nourishing the
body-mind. Oil absorbs into the porous surface of the clay and gently diffuses
into the air as it evaporates, slowly dissipating and waning over time. A 60-80
square ft (8X10 ft) enclosed room can be subtly filled with fragrance with
one to two drops of oil in the tiny bowl, impression or on the surface of the
sculpture. Strength and time depends on quality, volume, temperature and
variety of drops used, but generally lasts 1-2 days fading gradually. The
diffusion process speeds up when sculptures are bathed in warm sunlight or
nestled among candles. Any of our clay sculptures can withstand heat up to 1000
degrees f. and can be placed on a warming tray, or directly on a wood stove
surface. Please use caution when removing from hot surfaces!
Besides filling
small areas such as a massage therapy room or bathroom, clay diffusers work
well in places you sit for work, relaxation or practice, at your desk, or
on a table nearby. The oils will look wet, eventually leaving a film
until fully diffused becoming undetectable. Strong viscous oils* may leave
permanent darker spots on the clay but will not harm it. Burning oil in the
bowls is possible but will leave permanent black flame traces on the clay. Some
say this adds character. You can find instructions on the Internet for using a
tiny wick of cotton saturated with oil for burning. If you plan to
alternate oils, use water in the small bowl or impression along with the drops
and rinse with hot soapy water after use. Some fragrance may remain, depending
on strength and viscosity*.
*The
longest-lasting oils, which improve as they age, tend to be the thick resins
such as frankincense and myrrh, woods such as sandalwood, roots like vetiver,
as well as other oils, including spikenard and patchouli. ~ (Excerpted from Aromatherapy: A Complete Guide to
