How does one with a nebulizer get rose or jasmine diffused?

[Guest guest]

Hi!

I have a nebulizing diffuser and they told me I can only put in 100%

pure essential oils in it.

I had 100% pure jasmine essential oil but it was too thick and

clogged the glass bulb.

Plus, I'm learning that if I want to order jasmine or rose oil at a

decent price it only comes in a carrier oil. The person who sold me

the nebulizing diffuser said I can't put carrier oils in a nebulizing

diffuser!!

What should I do? Could I mix the jasmine or rose with another

lighter essential oil?

Thanks,

I was going to start by saying that Jasmine and Rose absolutes (cause

there is no Jasmine EO, though Rose EO is called Rose Otto, really) are

so darned expensive that I can't imagine using them in a diffuser of any

sort. But then if you look at it that way you don't want to do anything

else with them either, huh? :-D But they are pretty powerful scents

to use in a diffuser straight.

I married my husband for the 38 year old Sandalwood he has. Among

other reasons. And all we do with that oil is take it out and have a

whiff now and then. He mailed me a little vial of it before we had

actually met, and I loved it so much that I sat there for about an hour

just taking these deep whiffs of it. Pretty soon I realized I was SO

HAPPY, and just wanted to run outside and stop cars on the street so

that I could tell everyone driving by that I wanted to be their friend.

Anyway, what the heck am I talking about?

In the nebulizer you just want to use pure EOs, not diluted in carrier.

If you decide you want to use Jasmine or Rose in there, the best thing

to do is to dilute it into another EO. Though my husband, leaning over

my shoulder, says that he has heard that alcohol can be used to dilute a

thick EO down for the nebulizer.

Hope that babbling makes sense and is some help-

Dear ,

essential oils in it.

True, but if you have a scented oil if will likely leave a film behind that

is hard to get out of the small pours in the glass

Thin it out with eucalyptus oil, for your thicker oils

Don't believe this, you can get each of these oil in pure form, try

www.scentedmemories.com

The person who sold me the nebulizing diffuser said I can't put carrier

oils in a nebulizing diffuser!!

This is true also, a carrier oil is for massaging, you don't want to diffuse

a veg. oil

Yes, Eucalyptus oil is one of the oils for thining the thick oils

Hope this helps

I wouldn't want to thin a gorgeous floral EO with Eucalyptus. To me it

would be like using Pine Sol to dilute a perfume. Just my opinion here.

But think about using something that goes more along with what you are

using, such as Lavender, or perhaps one of the citrus oils.

I looked at this site out of curiosity, wondering how anyone can sell

these two very expensive oils inexpensively, and can't find prices for

either one. I did see prices for their Lavender, which was waaay

expensive. Also on the page for the scent blends they are making drug

or medical claims for the actions of the Essential oils. A big no-no as

far as the FDA is concerned. Both of those things would scare me off.

Just my opinion, based on experience.

Lynda, I totally agree with you. Eucalyptus oil would totally overpower a

floral. I also checked out the site and agree on your other points.

An easy way to get scent in the air is to use an aroma lamp. A few drops of oil

in water in the dish which sits under a tea candle works great. Incense is

another way although here you are burning more than just oils.

I haven't had experience with the type of diffuser being discussed. I once put

some oil in my humidifier and ended up with spots of oil on my walls so I went

back to aroma lamps, scent pots and incense.

Is a diffuser like an " Air Wick " type product? Plug it in? What's a

nebulizer?

Nebulizers are little motors with a glass thingee attached. The glass

section has two parts, one that is about 3/4 of an inch in diameter, and

about three inches high. This is where you put the EO. The second

piece of glass fits into the top o fthis and is shaped like a little

spout with a bend in it, so that you can direct the diffusion in any

direction you want. They work by atomising the oil with air pumped in

by the motor. Because there is no heat used, it is considered the best

way to diffuse EOs into the air.

Thanks! This was very clear. Seems like it would be very good for

aromatherapy use.

I use a small electric potpourri pot filed with hot water to begin with, then

add the oils. It gives it a head start and the pot keeps it warm. It works

really well.
