In health, mainly in aromatherapy, bamboo reeds are used in the same way as rattan reeds are, to diffuseessential or fragrance oils. Odorless bamboo reeds are necessary for the purpose of spreading fragrance into the air. Although many sellers and producers offer mainly bamboo reeds for diffusers, many connoisseurs in the field, will definitely avoid bamboo reeds and instead would recommend rattan reeds. Why would anyone prefer rattan instead of bamboo reeds for diffusers?

Well, for one thing they are odorless and have clear channels inside from one end to the other, whereas bamboo reeds have nodes inside the channels. The empty channels in the rattan reeds will enable the oils to go up the channels naturally while the nodes in the bamboo reeds will impede their movement upwards, thus preventing the efficient evaporation of the oils and, consequently, the desired effects. Even so, if you only want to scent your house with no healing expectation in mind, you can acquire bamboo reeds as well.
