I see that Amazon lists eucalyptus oil as frequently purchased with. How exactly would that be used in this sauna??

I put a little bit on one of my wife's makeup remover pads and leave it in the sauna. I usually only do it when I am sick and having trouble breathing.

Use any essential, depending on what you are using mister for, IE: lavender oil is great for massages or meditating, orange oil is great for entertaining.Oil is dropped into water reservoir.It's really a great item

Why would you wanna add cocnut oil? Is there a purpose? B/c oil will just float on top of the water and wont mix with magnesium salt in the bath.

Hi Sarah, Citrus oils can be used under the following conditions: - The inside of the unit (especially the diffuser disc, and around it) are cleaned up shortly after usage with a mild soap & water solution within 24 hours. - Otherwise, if you'd like to use citrus oils frequently, we highly suggest using it as blended with other types of oils. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to helping you! Best Regards, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder

Hi, Paul. I bought this last year for my brother for Christmas because he complained of back aches. The eucalyptus and lavender are located inside a white sack that sits inside the soft outer cover (what you see for the product picture). You have to heat the whole white sack in the microwave and then insert it into the outer cover. To my knowledge, you cannot open the white sack, only the outer shell to remove the white sack insert. I do not know the process of adding your own oils, but I don't know how well the product would absorb/tolerate it (does not appear to be a way to add it inside). I have hand and foot warmers that work the same as this back warmer and as they get warn out over time, I have found it best to replace them. I don't know for this particular product, but the sack you heat up in my hand and feet warmers start to yellow and brown after many uses in addition to the fragrance waning, though they continue to get warm. I hope this knowledge helps at least some. Sorry, if it's not useful. :(

Anytime you use essential oils on the body you should put them in a carrier oil. I am a Massage Therapist and do use this on my clients.

I have, and more than a few times. :-) I just add a few drops of whichever essential oil(s), such as eucalyptus to the water and voila. However, I have noticed over time the inside of my humidifier will have a gummy-like substance around the water line. I'm sure this is accumulated old-oils from previous uses that would probably happen with using any type of oil. My suggestion would be to use it and then clean the inside of it ever-so-often with a mild detergent. Hope this helps! :-)

I used eucalyptus with it, you will need to clean it more often if you do use oils.

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.

I use it in my diffuser in my house and on one of those little things you plug in your lighter in your car. I copied this from Plant Therapy website: Diffuse or Mix with a carrier oil and massage. Or add to a spray for a natural household germ fighter. To help ward off Colds and Flu's - once exposed - mix 10 drops with 1 teaspoon of a carrier oil of your choice and massage on the bottom of your feet - especially at bedtime and again in the morning before dressing! 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oil synergy contains: Lemon (Citrus limonum), Clove Bud (Syzygium aromaticum L.), Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomun cassia blume), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata), and Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis).

I've used a couple drops of peppermint oil and/or eucalyptus oil..I noticed that herbal oil mixtures were available for adding to salt inhalers. I bought some; then just started adding my own. Caution..not too much!

S. Tracy - I use it (about 5 drops to 1/2 ounce) of glycerin and jojoba oil as a moisturizer for my face. I always hesitate to use any of the citrus oils "straight" on my skin, but Neroli is derived from blossoms, so I think it would be safe without a carrier oil. It has a very pleasing fragrance - I wouldn't hesitate to use it in a diffuser.

I think it is. I've used this eucalyptus oil in a vaporizer, on my kids noses and chest.

Yes, I would use a carrier oil. We like to diffuse in a diffuser. I am not sure of the authenticity being that the oil is listed at a questionable price. Please purchase straight from Young Living https://www.youngliving.org/oilsbykelly Join as a wholesaler (no monthly quotas or fees) and get all the oils you want at wholesale price (24% off retail)!

I mix a little of the Lavendar Essential Oil with Almond Oil (use whatever oil you usually use). You could use just the lavender, but I think it would be used up very quickly and it's expensive. Experiment with small amounts and see what you like best.

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 :)

Any good aromatherapist will guide you in the process of taking a essential oil internally. Every book and reference I have looked at has stressed not taking things internally unless under guidence of a professional. The external use only is a legal protection to prevent misuse, which is very easy without the pros oversight. Despite the guidance of one or two companies, taking any eo internally could potentially damage your intestinal track.
