Can I use my own essential oils instead of the scents they provide?

It depends on the plant of origin and which part it comes from. Most EOs are volatiles, kind of like alcohol. If you can put these fragrances here in a Rainbow, you can put lavender oil in one. But BE CAREFUL. Don't use resin-based oils like frankincense. Stick with oils from the aerial parts like leaves and flowers.

Not for long-term use. The fragrances for the Rainbow are water-based. Oils can leave a residue in the pump after a time and burn out the machine.

You can. This was confirmed by my rainbow salesman. I've used quite a few. The scent isn't as strong as the rainbow scents. It works better if you're using them in clean water and just filtering the air. If you use them while vacuuming the scent of the EO doesn't come through as much.

Yes you can, I am using lemon, wild orange and breath (a blend of oils). I have not seen a problem yet. And yes I have seen those that you cannot use citrus oils, but so far so good.

Yes they can tell you. If they own their company they may choose not too, due to them not wanting their products reproduced. When purchasing essential oils, they must be mixed with proper ingredients so they are safe for consumers.

Aromatherapy gurus may not advocate mixing commercial lotions with essential oils, but they do counsel you to mix them with coconut oil (which can be in a solid or liquid form) and used as a lotion. In terms of physically can this be done, sure. I use some oils directly on my skin, and others you should cut with oils like grapeseed, coconut, almond oil, etc. You ought to consult a book about essential oils to see which can be used directly (called "neat") or which have to be diluted.

Yes you can but you must add this to your massage oil because the lavender oil is very a concentrated. Thanks for asking

I'm sure you could...I would. I got this for my boyfriend (we use it all the time, it's awesome) aand he has an essential oil lamp we already use every night. There are little pouches you can buy specifically for this product that have a variety of essential oils. But I would guess you could just drop a few drops in the actual tank and it would be fine. You just might want to clean it more often and in between scents (obvi).

I checked on Smiley Daisy's website, and it said that you can use citrus essential oils. Just make sure to use room temperature water. Hope this helps

I wouldn't recommend ingesting any Essential Oils as they are not regulated by any pharmaceutical company. I firmly believe in using it for aroma therapy only.

I've been using mine with pure essential oils for an entire year, no problems. It works as well as my pricey diffuser though it doesn't have as many features and doesn't do as large an area.

I mix a little of the Lavendar Essential Oil with Almond Oil (use whatever oil you usually use). You could use just the lavender, but I think it would be used up very quickly and it's expensive. Experiment with small amounts and see what you like best.

You can use any essential oil - I've used lemon, peppermint, thieves, purification, peace & calming, lavender, sometimes I combine a couple drops to make my own blend.

I bought this as a gift for a friend and she would just use a torn off piece of a cotton ball to change to whichever scent she wanted (I had also bought her a sampler set of essential oils) ;-)

I buy Doterra Essential oils and use all that are labeled for aroma therapy. I am not sure it would matter what kinds of oil you use. The diffuser comes with a measuring cup so you know how much water to fill in and then add a few drops of oil.

The aromatherapy option in the filter is not very elaborate. There is a tiny slot in the filter body where you can slide in a small block of peice that comes with the filter. The peice in itself looks like a small bar soap with ridges on one side. This is all it is. So if you want your own fragrances, then you will have to get something of that size that can slide into the slot.

Generally I don't think that essential oils are supposed to be used full-strength on skin, but rather diluted first with a carrier oil. Apparently using the oil alone could cause allergic reactions or problems for people with certain health conditions. I'd suggest being safe and looking up some good advice on how to use essential oil as perfume (from someone more knowledgeable than me :-); I found a little bit of info at aromaweb.com, although there is an abundance of info out there. That said, I do think that vanilla is one of the few essential oils that would smell good as a perfume.
