What are aromatherapy inhalers?
Aromatherapy inhalers are portable solutions that make it easy to enjoy aromatherapy anywhere. These inhalers are typically small tubes that contain one essential oil or a blend that's designed to offer a specific health benefit. These compact aroma-sticks can be easily tucked in a pocket, bag, or drawer and are easy and discreet to use.
How to Use Aromatherapy Inhalers
Aromatherapy inhalers are easily carried and easy to use. To use one, remove the cap and sniff the fragrant end of the inhaler stick with one or both nostrils - but, avoid inserting the end of the tube into the nostril. These inhalers work by placing the fragrant end of the tube just below the nostril. The inhaler cap will snap into place or screw on tightly to provide a secure seal. With the cap securely in place, essential oils can maintain full potency for about three months or longer.
