(Part 2) Best products from r/essentialoils

The book I was referring to is this one, Essential Oil Safety: A Guide for Health Care Professionals. It is the go-to reference book on the effects various essential oils (the book contains information on 400) can have on the body, as well as any potential hazards from these substances and the individual chemicals that the oils are composed of.

My first thought is that you need to remember that heating oil changes its properties, which cool mist diffusers don't do. Here's the one we bought on Amazon and it's great. http://www.amazon.com/Amir-Ultrasonic-Humidifier-Continuous-Changes-Waterless/dp/B0158GXGBA/ref=sr_1_9

One of my favorites

Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple: God's Love Manifest in Molecules https://www.amazon.com/dp/0934426996/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_w6nsDbV1901C0

I’m new to EO as well. Last week I bought this, and I’ve used it every night since. I’d definitely recommend it.

I use this one and LOVE it. I've had it about a year and no issues with it. I like setting the color as well... Blue during the day (working), red at night, and then I let it just go through all the various trippy colors if i'm just chillin.

I have a small, cheapy one from Amazon, and it's perfect. It was maybe $15 on sale. I don't think you need to spend a lot on one, or get a big one. The small ones will go for hours on the intermittent setting, which is the way to go.

Mine is something like this, but like I said, whichever one it was, I didn't pay full price.

Is this product too good to be true?

Essential Oil Safety: A Guide for Health Care Professionals https://www.amazon.com/dp/0443062412/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hiGIDbZYVA8FJ

I have had at least one of these diffusers fail, so I recently just ordered one that has a 5 year warranty:

Pure Enrichment PureSpa XL - Extra-Large Premium Aroma Diffuser with 2,000ml Tank - 3-in-1 Unit Also Functions as a Single-Room Humidifier and Intelligent Mood Light https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0774X5PTV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hyRXDbJR8Q4J6

They are generally pretty good, and although I have not been using distilled water as is recommended, I still have one going strong after a couple years, even though it briefly stopped working. Another one failed after about a year (just after the warranty expired). I have dumped a variety of oils in the one that is still working, including undiluted vetiver, with good results.

Here’s a link to another one though. I’m sure it’s just as good

I purchased this one from Amazon and really like it:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071X9DYXL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_aIawDb60AN4JM

You could check your local craft stores such as micheals, hobby lobby, or Amazon has some im sure! in fact here's a link to some incase you wanted to check them out https://www.amazon.com/Vivaplex-Amber-Glass-Bottles-Lids/dp/B06Y62H2LB/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1549079443&sr=8-7&keywords=glass+amber+bottle

I would recommend Modern Essentials 8th edition.

https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Essentials-Contemporary-Therapeutic-Essential/dp/1937702472/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491617650&sr=8-1&keywords=modern+essentials

It lists each oil and gives the note with recommended percentage that should be used in a blend for that note.

You could try something like this. I use it in my office. It's just pads and a small fan. No water involved.

I'm thinking about getting his book, or one like it:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0007145187/

Check out the Carrier Stick. It's a solid Carrier Oil. It's sold on Amazon or www.carrierstick.com

https://www.amazon.com/Carrier-Stick-Essential-Oils/dp/B01010V840/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1480631656&sr=8-1&keywords=carrier+stick

Perhaps you are overthinking this.
Why not just plug in your diffuser into a mechanical indoor timer on an outlet? You could easily set it to be on and off during the day. Of course it would only be for one oil, but you could use two different diffusers.

Check this out:

They MAKE car diffusers. The reason they use USB, is because the car is a DC (direct current) system, and the USB diffuser is a 5V DC system. The ones I saw weren't tiny. Go buy one on Amazon

this one — the “tour” model

Thanks for all you guys do. I think we've sort of beat a dead horse with the MLM stuff so I'd love to see the Discussion about them sort of die off. If people want to use them cool. If they don't, also cool. Use the brands and blends that suit you and lets not argue over them. The TLDR there for me at least is that the mention of an MLM triggers some, if that's you try resist. From a mod standpoint I'd love to see posts arguing about MLM's removed. There's already a little blurb about that in the wiki so continuing that conversation doesn't really move our overall EO discussion forward.

One thing I'd love to see added to the WIKI is a section on books that get referenced here often. Books like Essential Oil Safety, and The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy. Those are 2 that I see people reference back to fairly often. If there are others that the pros want to add here that would be cool too.
