where do you put the essential oil for the aromatherapy?

I actually don't know for sure and haven't used it this way but I would assume you can add a few drops into the water and don't see why that would be a problem just put them thru the opening where the water goes, hope that helps

Right by the nozzle where the steam comes out, there is a metal cylinder. It didn't come with instructions, but I believe you drop your oils onto a small piece of felt and put the felt into the cylinder. I could be wrong, but I tried it with some oil soaked cotton and it seems to work.

you can't use essential oil in this steamer...this is just a plain one...you will ruin it if you do...

You add several drops to the water container and the steam coming out is scented with the oil.

I fill up the little glass dish with water and then add the oils...amount of oil depends on how strong I want smell

It's not required. I put Eucalyptus essential oil.. or something called On Guard (also for sale on Amazon) in mine (a couple drops) and it's great. I don't use this model anymore though. Mine started smoking and we tossed it.

No, the oil comes out in a cool mist, just like an ultrasonic humidifier. One benefit to this is that there's no warm-up time: aromatherapeutic misting begins immediately. I'm also told that the therapeutic compounds in essential oils are volatile, and that misting them cold (as opposed to heating) maximizes their benefit.

You want young living essential oils. There's a big difference between brands when using them therapeutically. I believe they have changed some of the packaging but just make sure they are young living.

There are different formulas for the scents you use. I have a essential oils book that helps you mix oils for relaxing, energy, meditation etc.

I wouldn't recommend it. Not all essential oils are for ingestion. Even though you are only wanting to use it with your sinus rinse, I would be concerned that adding the oil might burn your sinus cavity. Three drops of oil into 4-6 oz of water for a diffuser will spread the aroma throughout a 12x12 room. It's pretty strong.

You simply add fragrance to this. There IS a reservoir to add it to, but I simply add it to the water. I disagree with previous answer stating it takes too much oil. If you've never tried doTERRA essential oils you should. They are head and shoulders above anything out there! I add only 5 drops to the water and I get plenty of scent, for hours. I LOVE this diffuser! I plan to buy another for other rooms...

You can use any essential oil - I've used lemon, peppermint, thieves, purification, peace & calming, lavender, sometimes I combine a couple drops to make my own blend.

Hi. I don't really know if it is safe to put directly on the body. I've been using it for candles and diffusers. I's probably play it safe and use a food safe labeled brand of essential oil. Sorry I couldn't help.Barb

It is not a good idea to put essential oils into something plastic like this. It will slowly degrade the plastic. You would want a diffuser, not a humidifier.

It's supposed to go in the side slot, but I found it was difficult to get a bottle up to the side of the diffuser, so I put a few drops in the water tank. It don't think it harms the diffuser, but be sure to really clean the tank before you switch oils.

Anytime you use essential oils on the body you should put them in a carrier oil. I am a Massage Therapist and do use this on my clients.

I'm not sure if there is a difference between essential and aromatherapy oils, the instructions indicate that it is fine to use with aromatherapy oils. Just replace the filter after usage with aromatherapy oils. I have not used it with such so I have no personal experience with it.

There isn't a place to put essential oils in this humidifier. I don't thinkit would be a good idea to add it directly into the water reservoir as it might collect on what ever mechanical device turns the water to a mistThe owner manual does not mention the use of essential oils. The phonenumber for service is 866/737-6590 if this isn't the correct number to addressyour question perhaps they can direct you to the correct phone number.I've been using the humidifier for almost a year and it is easy to fill, easy to adjust the amount of mist and is very attractive.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I personally don't use it in a manner where that's even a concern, but if it was, I would contact the manufacturer or an Aromatherapist and ask them as everyone is different.

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.
