has anyone used this in an inhaler, or in steam for breathing, and if so, how did it work for you???

We tried steam...the oils were unbelievable and burned our eyes. I recommend putting it on a tissue or cotton ball and then into a sandwich bag, then breath it in by wrapping the bag around your nose and mouth. and yes works great, we add eucalyptus oil too. clears sinuses, have never had a sinus infection again. if we have a sore throat, we put a couple of drops under our tongue and swallow try to inhale in through our mouth and then exhale through our nose...this works really well too. Then we wash it down with some Emergen C and it usually nips the cold right in the bud. Hope this helps. We tried steam...the oils were unbelievable and burned our eyes.

Hi Jerry, I used same brand, but juice of Oregano. I never used oil, so I can't answer your question. You can check my review under the juice of Oregano. My only guess, juice is more gentle and it does't taste as bad as oil. The only thing I can tell you even juice has strong antibiotic properties. I do not live without this product. I hope my answer helped you somehow

I love this stuff , I highly recommend it. It's all natural essential oils. It really works for me inside a diffuser or humidifier. That way it's coming out in to the air along with the warm air. That's how I use mine others may do different. Hope this helps.

Yes it definitely helps with inhalation . I use it just to increase my endurance breathing when exercising or running. When used regularly it does increase lung capacity. I am a nurse and whenever patients came out of surgery the first thing we did was start them breathing apparatus to start exercises to get lung muscle moving.

I have been purchasing the Vicks inhaler for years, they have reformulated the ingredients several times, however, I cannot tell a difference, in the performance. I will say, I cannot locate any in the stores in the SF bay area, or in WA & OR, when I visited there in November, so I am wondering if they are again changing formulas and I will have to depend on "house" brands for awhile.

They would both work but you may be better served to get a vivks. Apotizer as that will keep the air wet rather than diffusing essential oils into the air. Feel better soon ; )

I've been very pleased with this product as an aerosol, but my steam cleaner specifically says not to put any products in it! Perhaps a different brand might not be so specific. I'd check the instructions.

I have been using it for about a year now, blow it up by mouth every once in a while just fine, no problem. But usually it deflates a bit when trying to screw it tight. Other Han that, it works fine. Try finding a person with "bigger" lung capacity to help you.

I can't make a comparison with the Mypurmist inhaler as I haven't tried one . I can say though that I have have been using the Mabis for a few months now and it performs very well , given my goal was lots of steam and the ability to use tea tree oil and the Mabis does this amply I can't see what different steam would be like ?The Mabis puts out pretty hot steam after a while but I don't mind that . If the steam gets too hot I just turn it off at the little on/off switch on the cord so no problem there . Good luck which ever way you go .

Well, when you spray with this, it's wet/damp...so I don't know if steaming the garment will help. Once you spray this, you pull/stretch the wrinkles out so steaming won't hurt it but I don't really think it would help either. Now I have used an warm iron to assist in drying the relaxer...just not a steamer. I hope this helps.

I have a wonderful essential oil nebulizer. I put one drop (germ fighter is very strong) of germ fighter with three drops of lavender in the nebulizer and diffuse into the air at night. It helps me sleep and keeps me healthy. This is wonderful stuff.! Anybody know how to make a toothpaste from this stuff? I am thinking that would be good too!

I have had limited lung capacity and was given this in the hospital. I did not find a forceful expiration flow. However I used it at least 6 out of 7 days a week and noticed my lung intake and excitation had improved as long as I used it. Got lazy using it when feeling well.Now that I am getting older I need to use whatever products I can use all items I can to maintain what I have.

i haven tried that because the pads that are suppose to go into it are what youre suppose to inhale to keep you clear and not clogged up. i dont know of any unscented pads that can be bought for this at this time. I also really wouldnt recommend this vaporizer anyway. it doesnt work as well as folks claim.

could you tell me how this turned out for you? I was thinking of buying this as I used a more expensive version for years and wanted this to replace it, but I have asthma and dont want trouble. Thanks.

I had bought this thinking I could use asthmanefrin in it. All this thing will do is blow out steam. If you insert the medicine cup in it stops working all together.

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!

Sorry, but I have no idea. I personally don't use it in a manner where that's even a concern, but if it was, I would contact the manufacturer or an Aromatherapist and ask them as everyone is different.
