Can you use essential oils in the medicine cup?

I'm not sure, but wouldn't see why not. I've added Vick's to it and it has worked fine.

It is not a good idea to put essential oils into something plastic like this. It will slowly degrade the plastic. You would want a diffuser, not a humidifier.

The bottle says that it is for aromatherapy use, but doesn't say not to ingest it so I am not sure. I know there are recipes out there using essential oils and it's probably ok to use. Maybe you should check out NOW website or call their customer service to get their feedback.

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.

Sorry, I do not know and my husband isn't here. He is very aware of only using healthy oils in or on anything.

I have used peppermint essential oils in mine and it worked fine. The inside is stainless steel so pretty much it's good for just about anything.

Marie I use all the different essential oils. Oh we are using it for our allergies. Lemon grass, lavender, peppermint. tea tree, white thyme, eucalyptus, Rosewood, and Thieves for when sick. I use them in all kinds of combinations and about 6 drops in the water. Oh my goodness some of them are so great and Ii just breath them in can sure unstop a nose. So many good oils. Enjoy we sure do. Elaine in TEXAS!

I bought these as a gift, so I haven't used them. However, they are oils not essences, so I don't think you can.

You absolutely can! It's awesome to use oils in the bath. It's very soothing and cleansing. I've used these ones in the bath. And what's great is you don't need to use much oil. This brand in particular is very potent, in a good way, so they've lasted me a long time since I have to use less for the effect. Something I really love about them is on the label they give "common uses" of each oil. I know a decent amount about essential oils, but I've learned a lot more about other uses for them now. Very helpful. No matter what you use these for, I would almost guarantee that you won't be disappointed. Great quality at an insanely cheap price- so hard to find! You absolutely can!

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

There's a tiny pull-out tray just above the bottom on the left as you face the front of the product. 5-10 drops of essential oil can be added to the rectangle area inside the tray.

I would not recommend it if you plan on drinking the water. Go to this site for specific guidance. There is a distinction between therapeutic essential oils which can be ingested. I do not believe this is one of those. I only use it for aromatherapy. http://www.livestrong.com/article/89536-essential-oils-safe-ingest/

Sorry - we didn't use essential oils with ours, so can't answer this question. I will say, however, that we really love these dryer balls!

You can. The inhaler comes with a couple of pads that are saturated with oils. Once those are used up, you can add more drops of oil to them, or buy new ones. I am not sure if you should add oil directly to the water reservoir. The reservoir is plastic (unlike the older version, which was stainless), and I am not sure if the oil would react with the plastic. If it doesn't react, it should be fine, I used to do that with the old metal one.

Yes, I have used baby oil with the cups and just wash them afterwards. I have also used coconut oil and Biofreeze for the really sore areas and it works great.

Yes you can do that. It doesn't require more than a couple of drops of oil placed on the pad to provide a nice scent. This is a very economical way to diffuse essential oils in a small room.
