Want to make your shower smell fresh and clean? We’ve got the perfect shower essential oil diffuser for you!
One of my favorite ways to destress and relax is to take a long shower while I sing my favorite songs as I try to wash all the day’s worries away. However, sometimes showers can smell musty and it can ruin my longed-for shower moments. For times like this, I diffuse my favorite oil for relaxation- Lavender Essential Oil.
We’re also showing you a new fun way to diffuse essential oils using lava rock beads. What’s interesting about this recipe is that you can choose different oils to diffuse every time you shower depending on your preferred aroma or mood.

It not only makes our shower room smell good but we also get to benefit from the essential oil’s aromatic properties to improve our mood and overall wellness.

Lava Rock Beads
Lava rock beads are popular as regular jewelry pieces and jewelry diffusers. For this recipe, we used lava rocks’ porous nature to naturally diffuse the essential oil’s aroma around the room. Plus, they came from cooled molten rock from volcanoes, aren’t they cool?
String
The string is used tie your lava rock bead to your shower head (or desired place) to make diffusing easy.
