Loved this video. Had no idea you only need to keep a diffuser on for short periods of time. My question is I’m in Washington state and the air quality outside right now is horribly smoky coming up from California, Oregon and right here in our own state due to fires - this is turning on respiratory issues: what essential oils do you recommend to help with this issue? (I do have air cleaners on to pull smoke smell out but the idea with the cotton ball in the car vents would be an immediate solution till I can get the Rocky Mountain diffuser.) thanks!
Hi, Shelby! Any essential oil relatively high in a chemical called 1,8 cineole is very helpful for breathing difficulties. These include eucalyptus, ravintsara, etc. Be sure you look at the safety information if you're using with children, elders, and pregnant women. There are gentler essential oils for these populations. Let me know if you have more questions!
@@KittianToy I have the “rainbow 2.0” and the “mini 2.0” from “Organic Aromas”. There’s a company called “ArOmis” that has very similar nebulizing diffusers, for about $20 cheaper. I bought one. Worked great but motor died quick. I’ll stick with Organic Aromas. I don’t like the ones that you have to attach a whole bottle to, either. Theres also youtube videos about those diffusers too, if you have never owned one of that type before. Highly recommended
Hi, Laura! That's a personal diffuser from Rocky Mountain Oils, I'm pretty sure (it's been a long time since I made this video). Here's an afflink for you: bit.ly/35gJQJY
Thank you first of all. How does one get certified? Would you also advise a nebulizer in the bathroom? I am fighting mold. I did order a nebulizer that I am going to use the bathroom (USB). I also bought a regular diffuser to use my bedroom. My focus will be to fight mold until I can move. Going to use lavendar and eucalyptus.
You'll need to take a certification course from a NAHA or AIA or other board approved school. :-) For fighting microorganisms like mold, I suggest tea tree and even a thieves blend. Good luck with that and stay well!
Thanks so much for sharing, I would like to know how true is it that all glass or ceramic diffusers are best for essentials oils because plastic containers absorb the oil and becomes toxic????
Im thinking about using essential oils in place of my fragrance plug ins. Do you think this can be done in the same way? To put a nice smell in the air?
Hi, Carl! It depends on the essential oils, to be honest....and your intentions for them. Most of them should be fine, especially in VERY low amounts in the water. However, nebulizers are very powerful, usually. I'd run this question by your naturopathic doctor and see what he/she thinks before starting on this kind of therapy.
@@HeidiVillegas , Thank You for responding, I have a nebulizer and was using it with Budesonide, and instead of using a steroid. I perfer something organic/natural to treat for cough and mucus. What's your thoughts on colloidal silver in a nebulizer? And or myrtle to treat coughing and mucus?
Hi! I recently purchased the mini diffuser and it didn't have instructions in the box. I heard you say it runs for one minute. Is there a time period between the one minute burst and then you get another one min burst? Or do you have to manually turn it back on?
If you got the one from Rocky Mountain Oils, you'll have to manually turn it on and off...which is actually a good thing. It's pretty powerful, and I've found that I tend to run it when needed instead of it just running all the time as it wants to. :-)
Hi friend. Thank you for great information and tips. There doesn't seem to be much of such videos around, usually they are not useful at all, aren't informative, and just aren't made well.
Oh, oh, I actually do have a question. So in a review of an ultrasonic diffuser someone gave that diffuser a bad review because he/she measured the quality of air before and after some time off diffusing with it, and her air purifier showed a substantial increase in PM2.5 and in PM10. Is this in a way a normal thing, because essential oils molecules in the air in fact should show this increase in those two things on an air purifier. Or is it not normal/ok, and if so what the problem could be? Thank you in advance.

You are just adorable.. Thanks for such a honest, wholesome video.
I'm not sure why but this really brightened up my day
Wow, thank you! You made my day with your sweet words! :-)
Awesome!!! I just started my aromatherapy journey. Your message is right on time. Thank you sister 🙂👍🏾
You're welcome! :-)
Very informative. And such a soothing voice! Many UA-camrs are awfully loud these days.
Glad you think so! And I agree. Loud and me don't mix very well. :-)
Love you cotton ball on a drive!
I do too

I just like the evergreen oils and can't wait to see how a nebulizer diffuses balsam fir, seeing as how it is a weaker oil.
Thank you for the informative video! Can I ask where you got the lovely bird picture?😊
My mom made it for me. It has a verse from Matthew on the bottom....so I will stop worrying. :-) I love it, too!
Heidi, which is the best type of wood to use for making a DYI diffuser?... Beech, Black Walnut, Cherry, Teak?... or something else?
I think any of these would be fine
Thank you. @@HeidiVillegas
First of all, you're so Gorgeous! Besides that, this video is very informative and helpful. Thank you for making such a lovely and useful video.
Oh, my goodness---you are SO sweet! I'm an old(er) lady, LOL---nearly 60. So your words totally made my day. Thank you so much!
I have 2 nebulizing diffusers and I will never use anything but! Love them!
I really love mine too!
Which brand do you use?

What is the small one u were showing the 15.00 one I love that one
My name is Laura Baker from Hilton NY

Yes, I do believe this. I prefer glass, but they're hard to find. Most of the reservoirs are plastic these days.
Im thinking about using essential oils in place of my fragrance plug ins. Do you think this can be done in the same way? To put a nice smell in the air?
I would use the essential oils in a diffuser...not in a plug-in. Wax melts are also great options!
Please suggest the best wired diffuser...thnx in advance ❤️
I really like this one, and I have three of them now: afflink--- amzn.to/3GRi87w
Does the mist increase humidity in the room?
Hi, Luke! No, not enough to make a difference, anyway. :-) I wish it did add a bit more, but it's just not that much.
Can these type of essential oils be directly inhaled through the mouth if diluted with water.
My medical nebulizer has a tube and a month piece.

Compromised
what do you mean "compromised," care to elaborate?

Hi, Massimo! I've never had a problem with any type of diffuser, except for once in awhile getting clogged. :-)
@@HeidiVillegas
Thank you for the response.
100th thumbs up 👍
