How to use essential oils with humidifier wisely?
Thank you for your continued support and trust in ExpressDeal!
We got some enquries about how to use essential oil with the humidifieir you bought properly. To Create Inviting Surroundings, pleasingly fragrant space, relieve your stress and anxiety after a tiring day, here are something you need to know before using oils in a humidifier :
- A humidifier runs continuously. You can’t set a timer to allow the body the time needed to absorb oils and then turn it off. Diffusers have timers that shut them off after a certain amount of time. This protects from over saturation.
- Some oils, especially citrus essential oils, can break down the plastic. Humidifiers are built to dispel water, they are not constructed to handle essential oils. Diffusers are designed specifically to handle oils.
A humidifier is not an ionic nebulizer. They do not break down the oils like the diffuser which nebulize them into tiny particles that are easily inhaled and absorbed. - Some humidifiers function with warm air. Heating the oils can destroy their therapeutic properties.
If you do choose to use oils with a humidifier, here are some ways to protect it and your family.
- Only use oils in a cool mist humidifier so the oils are not damaged in the process.
- Clean the humidifier frequently to avoid oil buildup or to keep the oils from damaging the plastic parts.
- Don’t use too much oil. The tank on most humidifiers are much larger than a diffuser, so oils may need to be adjusted accordingly.
- Turn off the unit after it has run for a while. Diffusers run intermittently and shut off after a specific amount of time, humidifiers do not. Turn it off after a couple of hours to keep the oils from overwhelming your system.
