Recently, I was contacted by South Australian start-up company DreamPigeon, to see if I was interested in reviewing some of their beautiful lava diffuser bracelets. Obviously, I said yes. But what actually is a lava diffuser bracelet and what do they do?

Well, basically, they are for diffusing essential oils in a more portable form, while also being a pretty piece of jewellery as a bonus. Not knowing much about essential oils, except that a lot of people are all about them lately, I set about learning more.

Essential oils are said to have beneficial properties when diffused and used in aromatherapy among other applications. This can be anything from calming to energising, sleeping to invigorating.


The porous black beads are the lava ones which absorb the oil. Said to have grounding properties (because it comes from said ground) and good for calming the emotions, it’s also considered to be a stone of rebirth and shedding unneeded layers of emotional attachment. So that's nice.



As I have child-like wrists, DreamPigeon were kind enough to make me custom sized bracelets that fit nicely without hanging off my hands. I also chose an actual child-size one for Miss L.


I acquired some oils of the essential variety and applied a few drops to the black lava beads and let them soak it all up before I put them on for the day. I didn't know what to expect but I was pleased to find that throughout the day, I had pleasing wafts of scent which tells me these bracelets do actually work in terms of transporting scent in a portable format, if nothing else, which makes me think they would also work if dabbed with perfume or similar.


Have you tried lava diffuser bracelets before? Where do you stand on the use of essential oils?
