We are drawn to the essential oils our bodies need. If an essential oildoesn't smell so great to you, stay away from it, your body just doesn't needit that day!Also remember that we get used to the essential oil smells quickly, so just because the smell isn't as strong as when you first started using it, itdoesn't mean its not working. A good test is to leave the room for a few minutes,then return and see if the smell is stronger. ***********************Essential Oil Success Story***********************Pet Success StoryNoise Phobia " I wanted to let you know that I have used Peppermint Oil on my furkid's paws for thunderphobia, and it DOES really work! I have used other things, butthe best results were with Peppermint Oil on the paws. Both my golden boy andmy Aussie have severe 'noise' phobia, and the Peppermint Oil really does the trick. Besides, my carpets also smell pretty good where they walk! " CarolResslerEssential Oil Q & A*****************Q: My nebulizing diffuser came with an automatic timer and I set it to run for about a half hour every two hours during the day time. Won't a lot of myoil just evaporate out? And do you think running it that often is too much. Ithought I had read that with some of the oils only a few drops were to be used, so they would have to be used with a carrier oil then, wouldn't they?A: I would never use carrier oil in the nebulizing diffuser, it might clogup the system. The Nebulizing Diffuser was made for use with undiluted essential oils. It is supposed to make the essential oils work to their fullestpotential. I would not worry about them evaporating too fast. The NebulizingDiffuser works to conserve the essential oils. I do not have a Nebulizing Diffuser myself so I'm not the expert on it. It is your choice on how often and forhow long you run your Nebulizing Diffuser. I don't think you are running ittoo often. I have read that 15-20 minutes every 1 or 2 hours is effective within 300-700 square feet, and 30-60 minutes for an area above 700 square feet.That timing can vary depending on what you prefer. 25 drops of a singleessential oil or a blend is the minimum you should use in the Nebulizing Diffuser. That can vary as well depending on the strength of the essential oil, but Iwould never use a carrier oil in the Nebulizing Diffuser.-- Diana Gonzalez Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. -Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
