can I use essential oils in the water?

I have an older version of this steamer...been using it for upwards of 12 years? Anyway, I use oils all the time with it. I have never put them in the water, but just drop them on the cone mask part. Just rinse It off afterwards. Never had a problem.

I do it all the time, in my case, up to 8 drops of eucalyptus oil mixed into one capful of water. No harm to the unit or heating area at all. Works fine.

As long as you dilude the oil with the recommended amount of water it asks for a few drops of oil is ok.

I guess you could. I would wash out the metal cup afterwards, but I don't believe it would hurt the system. I don't have the user's manual though, so I can't advise as to what they recommend.

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.

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.

You can use any essential oil - I've used lemon, peppermint, thieves, purification, peace & calming, lavender, sometimes I combine a couple drops to make my own blend.

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

You can ONLY out water in this steam mop. They sell their own scented water. Don't try to use essential oils to scent it yourself. I read several times online where people did just that and it ruined their mop.

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!

Unfortunately I don't know. I have never used essential oils and don't know how difficult (if at all) they are to humidify. It's a great humidifier on it's own though. If oils like that are typically okay to put into humidifiers then I would guess it's okay.

The water & the oil go into the same well. Fill with water & add your drops of your essential oil.

I wouldn't recommend ingesting any Essential Oils as they are not regulated by any pharmaceutical company. I firmly believe in using it for aroma therapy only.

No it is not compatible with pure essential oil. Any aroma used MUST be water soluble. As pure essential oils are not water soluble, they are not compatible.

Why would you ever ever add essential oils to your water? This is horrible for you and not meant to be consumed.

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 never made infusion water. However, I would think so. You can use dried leaves for infusing oils. I would study it on line a bit though.

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 base of the diffuser is filled with water and then you can put a couple drops of any essential oil into the water. I have used peppermint, lavender, lemon and mandarin orange essential oils in mine. I just empty and wipe out the base between different oils; refill the water and drop in a couple drops of the new oil.
