How to Use and Make an Aromatherapy Inhaler

8/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Aromatherapy inhalers are a quick and easy product to make. They are basically made up of a cotton pad (wick) soaked with essential oil. The pad (wick) is then inserted into the inhaler. A plastic inhaler, much like the Vick’s inhaler, is the most common type of inhaler to make and use. Inhalers can be made for either therapeutic or perfumery purposes. 


For Respiratory Support -
Aromatherapy inhalers are extremely effective in providing support for respiratory issues such as colds, flu, sinus issues, congestion, allergies - to name just a few. Using a personal inhaler for deep lung issues delivers greater efficacy than that of a room diffuser.


For Emotional Support -
Aromatherapy inhalers are also extremely effective for your emotional state. They can be wonderful and supportive for depression, anxiety, stress, and nervousness. Essential oils work in a number of ways but the quickest way the aroma of an essential oil reaches the body is by inhalation through the nose; smells trigger responses in people through the stimulation of the limbic part of the brain, where moods and emotions are governed. 

Nasal inhaler instructions :

1. In a glass container, soak absorbent pad in essential oil(s) for at least one minute. The pad should absorb about one milliliter (20 drops) of oil. Avoid touching the soaked wick with your hands as you may have a reaction.
 
2. Using a tweezers, place the pad inside the inner cylinder and seal with a plug. (Plug needs to be pushed in hard.)
​
3. Place the large cylinder over small inner cylinder and screw in tightly. Make sure that you cap it when not in use and affix a label with the contents for reference. You are now ready to use your aromatherapy inhaler! Simply uncap the inhaler and take a few quick sniffs (or one deep inhale) of the blend as required. Avoid contact with the skin and mucous membranes. When the scent fades, simply re-moisten the wick with more oil.

Koru Essential Oils Organic Fresh Ginger



Notes From The Koru Oils Lab™ -


Koru's Organic Fresh Ginger essential oil is made from newly harvested, rather than dried Ginger rhizomes, giving it a lively and intense, mouthwatering aroma. This oil is a great choice for personal care, cosmetic, and skin care applications, where the milder, steam distilled oils of Ginger are recommended, rather than the more pungent and very concentrated Ginger CO2 extracts.1 Ginger has a long history of uses in medicines and has only more recently been used by aromatherapists, natural perfumers, and massage therapists. Many find it useful in massage formulas, both before and after exercise, and in cases of under or over exercise. Ginger has an affinity for the muscular system as well as the digestive system.
