Can you use essential oils with this product?

No, it is strictly a humidifier. There's a cotton wick in it and it would just suck up all the oils. If you're looking for something that produces mist and is an oil diffuser as well I highly recommend the H2EO Ultrasonic Diffuser.

I personally use the essential oils, they are much more concentrated. I think you would have to use ALOT of perfume to get the same effect.

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

You can if you want but I believe it would be unsanitary and unhealthy. It might be better to use a smaller amount and add oil and throw away the remainder.

Yes you can, but sparingly. The oil is quite thick and heavy so a tiny bit goes a long way.

Sure you can. But make sure you store it in a cool dark and dry place. Essential oils, if properly stored, can last 1-2 years. However, if you are buying adulterated essential oils that are extended with a vegetable oil; these will become rancid faster and will not last for long; in addition to losing their therapeutic values.

No... Do not use any oils or medications with this machine. The manufacturer advises against this.

No, you can only add oils to it. there is a small oil "container" that goes underneath the whole unit. I suggest getting essential oils from Eden's Garden (right here on Amazon) eucalyptus or peppermint, they will do the same as Vicks would.

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!

Good question. From what I find you can mix with any of those oils. Should not be used with baby oil or any other mineral oil

I don't think so... however I use a lot of other oils that are not harmful like lavender, rosemary, rose, peppermint etc

I do. I mix it with other carrier oils like olive oil, coconut oil, etc. I also mix in lavender essential oil.

yes, sparingly at first, work your way up to the desired effect. traditionally essential oils shouldnt be heated from their essence. hence using a diffuser

Sorry but the other answer is wrong. Not all essential oils are safe on skin or to consume. To use this like a perfume, mix with a little bit of another oil like coconut, jojoba or even olive oil. You can even make a solid perfume! Go on Pinterest to find lots of recipes. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can use this diffuser with any type of essential oils. Including citrus.

Yes. But put oil in a carrier oil or water to dilute before using as a perfume. The oils are very strong and you don't want to put directly on as a perfume
