Is there any safe way to add aromatherapy/essential oils?

I've been adding about five to ten drops into the tank every refill. I've been doing this for three months. Just make sure you clean the tank and base at least once a week. Use vinegar and warm water to clean both. By the way, I've only needed to use five drops of young living essential oils since these oils are highly potent.

No... Do not use any oils or medications with this machine. The manufacturer advises against this.

Not really. It's a basic, pure oil so the scent is just that of any oil. You can add essential oils if you wish to have scent, but it's not a great carrier oil, so you only want to only add it to the oil you're using at that moment.

Yes, any reputable aromatherapy book will work. Another book we often recommend is, The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy by Valerie Ann Worwood. It's full of wonderful, easy to follow, recipes and very helpful information.

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.

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.

Yes, definitely. If you add some essential oils, you can fragrance it, too! It should work great!

I wouldn't recommend ingesting any Essential Oils as they are not regulated by any pharmaceutical company. I firmly believe in using it for aroma therapy only.

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.

No sorry I've only used it in an aromatherapy diffuser mixed with other essential oils. Sorry I could not be of help.

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.

Most definitely! Add more water for a more subtle home fragrance, or less water to make it stronger! A little oil goes a long way! Make sure your oil lamp/heater/diffuser has enough water in it so it doesn't dry out.

Yes, I just put a few drops of essential oil on the pads included with the unit. The menthol scent on the included pads fades pretty quickly so I just add whatever essential oil I choose when it does.

no but if you add Thieves essential oil from Young Living in it like I do- it makes it that way and smells amazing! Order Thieves essential oils at www.youngliving.org/knat2

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.

I don't think so... however I use a lot of other oils that are not harmful like lavender, rosemary, rose, peppermint etc

Aromatherapy gurus may not advocate mixing commercial lotions with essential oils, but they do counsel you to mix them with coconut oil (which can be in a solid or liquid form) and used as a lotion. In terms of physically can this be done, sure. I use some oils directly on my skin, and others you should cut with oils like grapeseed, coconut, almond oil, etc. You ought to consult a book about essential oils to see which can be used directly (called "neat") or which have to be diluted.
