Directions for Making the Heart Chakra Inhaler Blend Recipe

Instructions If You Have a Plastic Inhaler Assembly:

• Put on a pair of surgical/exam gloves (strongly recommended). Avoid touching the essential oils directly with your fingers.
• In a tiny bowl, combine the essential oils.
• If you do not want the inhaler to be intensely aromatic, you can blend approximately 5-15 drops of Fractionated Coconut Oil into your essential oil blend to dilute it. You will need to experiment with the dilution to achieve the aromatic strength that you desire.
• Drop the wick into the bowl.
• Using your tweezers, rotate the wick around so that it fully absorbs the essential oil blend.
• Once all of the essential oil is absorbed, use the tweezers to carefully pick up the wick and drop it into the wick enclosure (it's the part that has a hole at the very top).
• Firmly press the end cap onto the bottom of the wick enclosure.
• Screw the outer cover onto the wick enclosure.
• Add a label to your inhaler.
• Keep the cover on the inhaler anytime that you are not actually using the inhaler.

Instructions If You Have an Aluminum Encased Glass Vial Type of Inhaler Assembly:

• Put on a pair of surgical/exam gloves (strongly recommended). Avoid touching the essential oils directly with your fingers.
• In a tiny bowl, combine the essential oils.
• If you do not want the inhaler to be intensely aromatic, you can blend approximately 5-15 drops of Fractionated Coconut Oil into your essential oil blend to dilute it. You will need to experiment with the dilution to achieve the aromatic strength that you desire.
• Drop the wick into the bowl.
• Using your tweezers, rotate the wick around so that it fully absorbs the essential oil blend.
• Once all of the essential oil is absorbed, use the tweezers to carefully pick up the wick and insert the wick into the glass vial, leaving a little of the wick sticking out of the glass vial. Depending on the size of the wick, it may require you to use your fingertips to push it into the glass vial opening (be sure you're wearing surgical/exam gloves).
• Screw the metal piece that contains the inhaler holes onto the glass vial.
• Slide the glass vial into the long, outer aluminum enclosure.
• Slide the aluminum cap onto the top of the inhaler.
• Add a label to your inhaler. Removable labels are available, however they can vary in their ability to stay adhered to the surface of the inhaler.
• Keep the cover on the inhaler anytime that you are not actually using the inhaler.

How to Use Your Heart Chakra Essential Oil Inhaler

• Remove the cap of your essential oil inhaler.
• Raise it to one nostril, being sure to not allow the tip of the inhaler to come into direct contact with your nose (or other skin).
• Inhale as deeply as is comfortable. Then exale.
• Repeat with the other nostril.
• Close the cap.
• This process may be repeated 2-3 times daily.
