Can I put therapeutic grade essential oil in water, one or two drops per 8 oz

Hi J. Oden, Thank you for your interest in the portable humidifier. Regarding essential oils, our portable humidifier works best with only water-soluble essential oil. Essential oil which is not water-soluble may cause our portable humidifier to experience issues, or even be damaged. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to your feedback! Best Regards, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder

For pure essential oils, I personally use 1-2 for a three hour setting. A little goes a long way. Hope this helps!

We put "for external use" on our labeling for our own liability. This is very common practice in the US and many other companies that sell therapeutic grade oils, also put this on their labeling. Essential oils are highly concentrated and have the capacity to cause serious damage if used internally without the necessary expertise required in administering it. This is supported by the International Federation of Aromatherapists that does not recommend ingestion of essential oils unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical aromatherapy. That being said, many of our loyal customers use our oils internally since they are the highest quality available, but we leave this up to the customer.

You would want to dilute some peppermint essential oil in a spray bottle with water for that.

Thank you for your question. Actually, it has a European style dropper that allows one drop at a time and has been proven to work best with essential oils. Thanks for your interest in our products.

If you use two- four drops to twelve oz. of water; no. but do not use more then four drops.

It doesn't matter whether they tout "therapeutic grade" or not; not even the 2 major companies that say you can ingest their oils. It is still not a good idea to do so. EO's are very potent, and can damage delicate tissue and membranes in your mouth and throat. So...I wouldn't.

I put 6 to 8 drops in a quart of water, for cold relief.It doesn't taste too good, but it works.Drink about a gallon over a couple of days.

I buy Doterra Essential oils and use all that are labeled for aroma therapy. I am not sure it would matter what kinds of oil you use. The diffuser comes with a measuring cup so you know how much water to fill in and then add a few drops of oil.

Not very easily with just water. Baby oil works for skin and alcohol for other surfaces.

I use a small mister which holds a little less than 1/2 cup water with instructions to use 3-4 drops of essential oils. I don't know that there is a set ratio, but more about personal preference. The more oil, the stronger the vapor/smell, so it's a bit of testing the number of drops of oil until it's right for you.

I would contact the company with this question just to make sure. There are food grade essential oils out there, too. If you end up using essential oils this way, you want to drink just a few drops at a time in a glass of water or cup of tea.

I've used a couple of drops of Grapefruit Essential oil in my water, don't know about Eucalyptus though.

I use 10-15 drops for a 1 oz. bottle, but I think you could make it a little stronger if that doesn't work.

I add 3 to 5 drops of oil to water.....sometimes that is too strong if u use strong smelling scents like oregano or pine scents but 3-5 drops is perfect for lemon and lavender.

Approximately 450 drops are in every bottle. The bottle states that 6-8 drops are required to treat every 8 oz of water. That equates to 96 drops needed to treat every one gallon of water.

I use 8 - 10 drops in a 16 - 20 oz bottle of water once a day. This to me is a wonderful product.
