Full details

Its key benefit is providing a stable and attractive platform for tealights, essential oils, or wax melts, adding a spiritual or decorative touch to any room.

FAQs
What is the Hamsa symbol?
The Hamsa symbol, also known as the Hand of Fatima or Hand of Miriam, is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa. It is believed to offer protection against the evil eye and bring good fortune.
Do I need to use water with essential oils?
Yes, it is generally recommended to fill the metal dish with a small amount of water and then add your essential oil to the water. This helps to dilute the oil and prevent it from burning too quickly, allowing for a more sustained fragrance release.
What size tealight candle should I use?
This oil burner is designed to accommodate standard-sized tealight candles.
Can I leave the oil burner unattended?
No, as with any open flame, it is important not to leave the oil burner unattended while the tealight candle is lit.
How often should I clean the oil burner?
It is best to clean the metal dish after each use, once it has cooled down, to prevent residue buildup. The wooden base should be dusted regularly or wiped with a damp cloth as needed.
Is the mango wood treated?
The product description does not specify if the mango wood is treated. However, for longevity, it's recommended to follow the care instructions and avoid excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
No fragrance is being diffused.
Ensure the tealight candle is fully lit and providing sufficient heat. Check that the metal dish contains oil/wax and has not evaporated completely. Use a higher quality oil or wax for a stronger scent.
Wood appears dry or dull.
Apply a small amount of natural wood oil (like almond or linseed oil) to a soft cloth and gently rub it into the wood. Allow it to absorb before wiping off any excess. Repeat as needed.
Residue is difficult to clean from the metal dish.
Soak the metal dish in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before attempting to wipe it clean. For stubborn wax, you can gently warm the dish with the tealight again and wipe immediately with a cloth.
