Aromatherapy and Essential Oil Inhalers
Aromatherapy and Essential Oil Inhalers
Aromatherapy inhalers enclose a concentrated amount
of essential oil. To use one, you simply unscrew the cap and raise
the tip of the inhaler to your nose. They can be transported in
your purse, briefcase or backpack and are even small enough to fit
in a pocket. They allow you to use your chosen essential oils anywhere.
They're handy for keeping particular blends handy
and within reach. They can be used discreetly. They're great in
the workplace or in other public settings when you may want to use
an essential oil that could pose risk to those with particular health
issues.
Some aromatherapy retailers offer ready-made aromatherapy
inhalers that contain a single essential oil or a specially formulated
blend of essential oils. You can also find the 4-part housing blanks
(the exterior, the cover, the bottom cap and the foam insert that
holds the oil) from some vendors. I know that long-time AromaWeb
advertiser Nature's Gift
sells them, and others may as well. It's simple to add your own
essential oils to the insert and takes only a matter of a minute
or two.
I keep an aromatherapy inhaler that contains a
flu-fighting blend of essential oils in my purse. Anytime I'm exposed
to someone that is coughing like crazy, I discreetly then use the
inhaler. I also keep a couple inhalers around that contain calming
as well as uplifting blends. It's a quick way to energize or unwind
even when away from home.
The action of using an aromatherapy inhaler to
raise the aroma to your nose can help to curb the hand-to-mouth
aspect of smoking cigarettes. Breathing in the aroma from the inhaler
also mirrors inhaling deeply when smoking. For more information,

Oils and Aromatherapy Techniques That May Help With Your Efforts
to Quit Smoking.
