I don’t have Asthma, or Breathing Problems, why Use an Inhaler?
Inhalation is the most direct route for use of essential oils.
Think about it, “why do cocaine users ‘snort’ the magic white powder up their noses?”
Unlike lotions, roll-ons, or even liquids consumed, inhaled substances, oils and drugs, have an “immediate” effect on your brain. Once inhaled, the chemical hits the brain control center where the brain sorts and recognizes the chemical components that have just been presented. Once recognized, the brain says, “okay, I know what to do with these substances, and sends appropriate signaling to the parts of the body that the brain determines uses and needs those substances.
Scientific studies indicate that inhaling or topical application of pure essential oils and aromatic plant extracts may help soothe your body and relieve pain. Aromatherapy is more than merely sniffing perfumes, diffusers, air fresheners or scented candles. “It’s not the scent that can make your joints feel better,” says wellness specialist Brenda Powell, MD. “It’s the plant chemicals — the herbal components — that you take in through your skin or nose. “These plant chemicals are what affect your body.” Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from the leaves, stems and other parts of aromatic herbs. These extracts, which are called essential oils, contain the essence of the herb/plant and the chemical composition of each plant/herb possess unique properties.
Small, but Effective:
Really? This is an extremely small bottle. How can it possible be very effective?
They say dynamite comes in small packages, so do Essential Oil Inhalers. It is the concentration of the oil that matters, not the size of the package. This inhaler will have effective properties for 3 to 6 months. The oils will evaporate and weaken over time and with frequent use. When you can no longer smell the oils, they are weak and you are no longer receiving the desired effect, it’s time for a new inhaler!
Ingredients:
This blend contains 100% pure essential oils sourced from around the world. The oils in this blend have been chosen specifically for the intended purpose based upon the chemical structures of each essential oil and their therapeutic benefits.
Directions for Use:
Do not place the bottle onto your skin or let it touch the inside of your nostril. Do not swallow or get near eyes. Use up to 4 times daily.
Do not inhale salt granules into your nose. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
SHAKE THE BOTTLE FOR A COUPLE OF TIMES. Open the lid and wipe the edges of the bottle with a tissue to remove any oils on the outside of the bottle especially near the opening. Inhale using alternate nostril inhaling (10 whiffs each nostril); it may take 5 to 10 minutes. I always tell people to inhale like they ARE cocaine addicts (LOL), to ensure strong and swift inhalation of the oils, which will prompt immediate benefits.
Alternate Nostril Salt Inhaler Method:
RIGHT: Hold the inhaler bottle in your right hand underneath your right nostril. With your left hand, hold your left nostril closed. Inhale deeply (slow -long inhale) in your right nostril, with your left nostril still closed.
Switch your hands.
LEFT: Hold the inhaler bottle in your left hand underneath your left nostril. With your right hand, hold your right nostril closed. Inhale deeply (slow – long inhale) in your left nostril, with your left nostril still closed. Continue alternate nostril inhalations for between 5 and 10 minutes (approximately 10 times per each nostril) to deliver a therapeutic dose of the oil compounds directly to the brain. Your brain interprets the chemical components and sends messages to the appropriate organs and systems.
Safety Information:
NOT FOR INTERNAL USE: The oils in this blend may cause skin and mucous membrane
irritation. Pregnant and nursing women should always consult with their medical professional before using this or any other natural oil, herb or ingredient. Overuse may result in extreme contact sensitization. Do not expose to extreme heat as heat can alter the chemical compounds. These statements and instructions regarding the use of essential oil salt inhalers have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These oils are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Always check with your healthcare provider before using essential oils.
Essential Oil General Safety Information: Essential Oils (EOs) are highly concentrated extractions of plants and can be harmful if not used carefully. Incorporating EOs into your lifestyle should not cause unnecessary work, but it is important to heed all safety precautions. Never take EOs internally, even if a label say it is safe for consumption by mouth. Never put undiluted EOs directly onto your skin (NEAT) to avoid sensitization of skin, and never apply NEAT to broken skin. Some EOs can cause irritation, sensitization or allergic reactions in some individuals. When using a new oil topically for the first time, perform a skin patch test on a small area of the skin. Some EOs are phototoxic and can cause irritation, inflammation, blistering, redness and/or burning when exposed to UVA rays of the sun. Discontinue using EOs immediately if you encounter any irritation, redness or reaction. Take care when adding EOs directly to bathwater. EOs do not stayed mixed in water, and can, therefore “pool” causing the EO to touch body areas in full strength with the potential for irritation. Some EOs should be avoided during pregnancy or by those with asthma, epilepsy, or other health conditions. Avoid using EOs near the genitals, mouth, nose, eyes and ears. Extreme caution should be used with children and elderly (due to medication mix). Care should be taken when using EOs near animals as not all EOs are safe to use on dogs, cats, birds, horses or other pets. EOs are flammable; keep them away from fire hazards.
