Are these the types of oils that can be used in humidifiers? If so, how much do you use, and how long will the smell last?

That I am not real sure of. I do know they have diffusers for that purpose, and some are up there in price. Some humidifiers says not to add anything but water or if they add scents it is made for that. If you would like to try on an old humidifier that would be the best to do. Thrift stores carry those for cheap and you will not have to spend alot of money if it ruins the humidifier. You know the Vicks thing you can put the med rub in the cup, well that could be another option as well. I have tried to figure out another way to use those essential oils for aromatherapy that is what I buy essential oils. When you buy those oils make sure you can use them for whatever you bought them for. (food grade, skin safe (no reactions on skin), and will not harm the body thru inhalation. Hope I helped!

Best thing I have found to do is if you are using the humidifying feature to always keep water in it. it only got smelly when the humidifier ran and the water ran out. Also once you fill up the water and run the unit for 20-30 min the smell goes away. so far it seems to be the only problem I've experienced with this unit.

Yes, these essential oils work great in a diffuser. I add approximately 8 to 10 drops to water in my diffuser and it creates a wonderful aroma! :o)

I use them for perfume, room sprays, mixed w/ h2o diffuser, flea/tick control for my pets, create potpouri & re-scent older potpouri, sachets for closets/drawers; some people use these as tinctures to drink or as flavoring in cooking/baking. If you have never used these oils, I suggest going to the local library for more info. Hope this helps...CeDe

no, I looked it up for you and this is what I found....a humidifier's purpose is to Increase humidity by heating water and oils.A diffuser's purpose is to Disperse essential oils into a large area to create a therapeutic effect on respiratory system, and aromatic effect in a room, or to shift emotion through inhalation of specific oil vapors.

I am imagining vaporizing oils in general would be bad imagine that oil being stuck on your windows and all over the house. The humidifiers that do use fragrance I bet don't use oil based

Sorry, I can't help--both my humidifiers went dead in the past few months. (Call Hunter, they are good about honoring their warranties.)

Yes. If you have online access to the internet, use any of the popular search engines for: " aromatherapy tablets for humidifiers " .

I purchased for a friend. I called him and he was no help. So I looked up Sunbeam 1388-800-001 at:http://www.sunbeam.com/humidifiers-%26-heaters/humidifiers/001388-800-000.html . They list the features. It had "medicine tray" so that is where you can put the oils in. Good luck. Let me know if it works: hj29west@hotmail.com Helen

Maybe Amazon but certainly health stores & Young Living sell unscented pads for drops of aromatheraphy oils. I wore out one YL diffuser like this one, & one still going but noisy so I'm going to try this Vicks "quiet" one. I also use a cool mist quieter YL diffuser w/ small compartments for water & their therapeutic-grade pure essential oil, sending them out into the room air via micronized mist more inhalable than dry air plus the moisturizing is nice for heaters & a/c but not for high home humidity--the time for these dry diffusers instead :)

I did. However, it destroyed my humidifier. So my recommendation would be to follow the manufacturer's instructions on adding stuff to the water in your humidifier if you can at all.

We use this on a humidifier and the wick last us one season. We replace this item once a year.

I noticed an interesting odor when I first started operating the humidifier however that subsided within a day or so. Almost smelled like new plastic if that makes sense. Hope this helps!

Easy to find the manual online but here I can send you a copy of it if you would like. I am not sure how to attach a copy of the manual to this auto response through amazon but here is the webpage which has all manuals. http://www.kaz.com/kaz/support/manual/#Honeywell Also, only using distilled water in your humidifier will prolong its life span.

I buy Doterra Essential oils and use all that are labeled for aroma therapy. I am not sure it would matter what kinds of oil you use. The diffuser comes with a measuring cup so you know how much water to fill in and then add a few drops of oil.

No, can't be used in any ultrasonic humidifier, only evaporative type or those with a filter.
