a new nebulizer for me

[Guest guest]

Merry Christmas to all!! I was given a wonderful nebulizer for diffusing essential oils and I wonder if you put the oils in alone or stretch them a bit with water or some other liquid? The directions don't say and I've already filled it twice today with just the EO's...seems like you would use up a lot of oil very quickly if you didn't dilute...Does anyone know?

I don't know about nebulizers, but I had one similar that you lit the wick (which was in oil) and the surrounding pockets got water in them which heated up and you put several drops of EOs to the water... it worked great.... so I would suggest trying it.

Just EO's go in nebulizers. And Yes you'll use alot of oil, that's

why I'll really only use mine when I need a certain effect. If

you're going for scent alone, use a diffuser or other means. I

really wouldn't put water in it, but you could if you wanted

to...stick to distilled water or spring water if you don't have it.

Essential oils and water don't mix so I don't think you'd get the

effect you're looking for.

 

No vegetable oil in your nebulizer, and stick to eos that are pretty

fluid. For instance, don't use benzoin, patchouli, etc. Although you

may mix other essential oils with them to make them more fluid.

Thicker oils will clog your nebulizer.

 

Hope that helps

You could also add in other 'cheaper' essential oils to create a

blend to reduce the cost of all the oil you are putting in your

nebulizer. For instance, Lavender is fairly inexpensive and mixes

well with just about anything. Most citrus oils are inexpensive as

well, Orange, Lemon, Lime....you can usually get them for around $5

or $6 for a 15 ml bottle.

 

Some cheaper oils/blends:

Bergamot and Cedarwood...both fairly inexpensive (kinda low/medium

priced) is a good blend for sleeping. I love that blend...schmells

goooood. Lavender and Peppermint. Lavender and Eucalyptus. Lavender

and Peppermint and Eucalyptus.

Lavender/Peppermint/Eucalyptus/Rosemary....Love that one too. Good

for headaches, sinus congestion, stress, tension...

 

Here's a good spicy one for the season: Sandalwood, Patchouli,

Frankincense, Lime, Nutmeg, Benzoin. The sandalwood, patchouli and

Benzoin are kinda thick, but the rest of them will thin out the

blend a bit. Just be sure to clean out the glass well after using

this. This one's an aphrodisiac (whooohooo!), as well as sedating

and calming.
