I have used all kinds of oils with this diffuser and had no trouble at all. I have used lemon, citrus bliss which is a citrus blend and on guard which has citrus oils in it. It has had no trouble with any oil have I used.

I have not yet used it with Young Living oils, but I have used it with DoTERRA oils and haven't had any issues. The machine is designed to be used with non-synthetic essential oils, so you shouldn't have any problems. The directions do state not to use synthetic oils in the machine though, as those can degrade the plastic.

I wouldn't recommend it. Not all essential oils are for ingestion. Even though you are only wanting to use it with your sinus rinse, I would be concerned that adding the oil might burn your sinus cavity. Three drops of oil into 4-6 oz of water for a diffuser will spread the aroma throughout a 12x12 room. It's pretty strong.

I found this blog very interesting... It may help clarify it for you!!! That's why I ask if there is a supplemental nutrition fact on the back... If you can't ingest it then it's loaded with other chemicals... And that's how they can sell it so cheap... Hope this helps!!!http://aromatherapy4u.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/how-to-quickly-tell-if-an-essential-oil-can-be-ingested/

It uses a lot oil very quickly. That is one of the reasons I chose to give it a negative review. I have found if I mix 1 part oil to 3 parts fractionated coconut oil it helps. This is not my favorite diffuser. Turning it to the low setting helps, but not much.

I've only used it every other day for a couple months, but so far no problems with a variety of oils- some mixes, including "sweet orange" essential oil. It's basically just a little plastic well with a metal plate at the bottom, so I can't imagine there would be any problems.

Hi J. Oden, Thank you for your interest in the portable humidifier. Regarding essential oils, our portable humidifier works best with only water-soluble essential oil. Essential oil which is not water-soluble may cause our portable humidifier to experience issues, or even be damaged. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to your feedback! Best Regards, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder

There isn't a place to put essential oils in this humidifier. I don't think it would be a good idea to add it directly into the water reservoir as it might collect on what ever mechanical device turns the water to a mist The owner manual does not mention the use of essential oils. The phone number for service is 866/737-6590 if this isn't the correct number to address your question perhaps they can direct you to the correct phone number. I've been using the humidifier for almost a year and it is easy to fill, easy to adjust the amount of mist and is very attractive.

I'm not an expert, but I would say that you could. A drop or two of Lavender oil (let it dry completely before use), might be a nice touch. However, I'm using mine - in part - to avoid scents, so have no need to add any.

Yes you can, I am using lemon, wild orange and breath (a blend of oils). I have not seen a problem yet. And yes I have seen those that you cannot use citrus oils, but so far so good.

Yes you can but not alone. You would add the essential oil to a base oil. I believe there are recipes on line.

I have been. I use all of the essential oils in it and haven't had any problems.

Operating instructions indicate the following: "Additives are NOT recommended." I haven't tried it, however would ASSUME it to be alright if oils are used judiciously.

It's very similar to a humidifier... You can fill it with water and add your favorite essential oils:) it's amazing... I love mine... And when it's cool enough and you see the steam it's so soothing... Hope this helps

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.
