water soluble I just found out that in order to use oils in my aromatherapy diffuser/humidifier they must be water soluble. Will I be able to use these oils in my diffuser?

No. Pure essential oils (such as these) float on water's surface in concentrated droplets so should not be used with your diffuser. There are many reasonably-priced diffusers available for purchase that are specifically made for essential oils.

Well my wife is using this not me but she says, the Diffuser device has a line you fill water up to. But the essential oil bottle should have a ratio of drops to use in a certain amount of water so read the info on the essential oil bottle and add the recommended amount of drops to the volume of water contained at the diffuser's water level limit line. Of course you want to use distilled or reverse osmosis water so you don't get so much mineral build up in the diffuser reservoir.

I use it will Doterra oils only. I haven't even used the lavender scent it came with. It works good with my oils. I do not leave it in the diffuser if I'm not using it as Doterra recommends only glass and this is plastic.

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.

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 sure. I've never tried to use essential oils. You might be able to put a few drops in the water, but I would check with the manufacturer first.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I personally don't use it in a manner where that's even a concern, but if it was, I would contact the manufacturer or an Aromatherapist and ask them as everyone is different.

You would need to pick up your own essential oils online or at a health foods store, usually eucalyptus or others etc. Honestly though I find using one of the kids PediaLyte plug in infusers that comes with little pads that plug into a socket work much better than the one on here. This is an awesome humidifier but the diffuser isn't the best design. Best of luck. :)

Its best used in a diffuser. I have a humidifier but it doesn't recommend using oils in it. The quooz lull diffuser works great with the oils. Good luck

The nebulizer does not add any humidity (or water) to the atmosphere due to the fact that no water is involved with the process of dispersion. Only the substance in the attached bottle of oil is dispersed. Some other types of diffusers that required water will add to the humidity of the atmosphere (or room) where it is operating.

You put the oils in the water as others have said. I think it disperses the oils just as well as any other diffuser I have seen. It is not a strong smell but noticeable. I have a very large great room though so I needed one that would work with a large room. I just rinse it with water between uses.

I'm sorry. I only use it to disperse in the air, as a fragrance. So I don't know. I only have ever used essential oils for room fragrance purposes.

I would NOT dilute your essential oil with water while using this diffuser. I'm fairly certain that it would be a mess and would most likely damage the diffuser. If you want the hydrating mist with the essential oil I would buy a diffuser that operates that way. Diluting with non scented oil might work. I would make sure that you mix it well before attaching it to the diffuser. Regarding the white noise....I'd say it depends on what the diffuser is sitting on. If it's a hard surface, obviously it's going to be louder. If you set it on something soft, about the thickness of a potholder or placemat, it's going to be considerably less. It also depends on how high you turn up the knob that controls the flow of oil. The higher you turn it up, the pump makes more sound accordingly.

No sorry I've only used it in an aromatherapy diffuser mixed with other essential oils. Sorry I could not be of help.

These oils have many uses and can be used many ways but cannot be used in a humidifier. A diffuser, topically, and taken In a veggie cap internally is how they are recommended to be used & I have used this particular oil in all of those ways! LOVE it! It is great for emotional distress or to uplift and brighten your mood or spirit :)

I've never used oils with humidifiers but I do know that you do not put essential oils into a standard humidifier because they will float on the water however you can saturate cheesecloth or some other type of material which is breathable. As the air diffuses into your room, it will flow through the material and fill the air with the fragrance of your choosing. I hope this helps!
