can it be used with essential oils?

No. You only use water in this unit. Go to Homedics site and they can verify this question for you.

I use essential oils in my unit and it works fine. It is a small unit, so just a drop or two of oil is all you need. I use the unit next to my desk - to humidify the local area and be sure to clean as per the instructions after each use.

It isn't a good idea. You should only use water or the filters will get clogged up.

Yes, you can use whatever essential oils you like, citrus or otherwise. Just be sure to clean the diffuser regularly to keep the disc clean. If you allow a build up to form on the disc, it will not be able to produce any mist. Any essential oils can be corrosive if left to build up, not just citrus oils.

I am not sure about that. My essential oils are diluted with coconut oil but that is not a gel like substance. I used pipettes to put the liquid in and ha no problems. A medicine dropper would work too.

I suppose for a short time you woul probably be fine. But it isn't the correct material for use with citrus oils. Directions don't say..

Absolutely. Or diluted in water for room spray. It is recommended that you dilute and dispense from glass only. Plastic is not a good receptacle for essential oils.

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 don't see why not, I use it in my scentsy pot, heated aroma plug in, and witchhazel. Pretty safe I think ;)

I believe you can use absolutely any essential oil you choose, it's a really large well of water and I usually put about 10-12 drops of oil in, I tend to stick to lavender as the others leave a sticky residue over time but yes, lemon or citrus blends would work, sounds like you have some lovely combinations, all of these fragrances are ok to use in my opinion! Thanks!

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.

The salts dessolve pretty quickly in liquid, but if you move quick it would totally work. I also have a pack of the unscented salts, which would be perfect to use with essential oils! Good luck!

JaimieLynn-> I think it would be up to you. You certainly could sprinkle essential oils on it when using it, I have not tried that. Know that it is only surface washable.

Yes, you can. Mostly I use it in a combination with other oils (base and essential) as face and hand cream. Results are very good.

Any essential oil can be used as long as its not blended with a carrier oil.

Yes, it is made for essential oil use. However, be sure to use mineral water in the reservoir and then add your oil selection. It does not however run for 5 full hours as stated in the brochure. I bought one for my father and his private care ladies run it every day and have since purchased at Christmas and have had no issues. That could very well be because if you don't use the mineral water it will probably plug up and quit!

Absolutely. We use these oils to our massage cream at our salon for aroma therapy during massage. :)

I don't believe so. I use it as a delivery system for diffusing essential oils in water. I'm not sure what else you'd use it for.

No, it can not. I am not aware of any of the fragrance oils that can be used in the oil burning lamps.
