Aromatherapy and Essential Oil Inhalers

	Aromatherapy Inhaler Including Its Four Component Parts

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.
