EXPERIENCE WITH SENTED OILS

Post by rbtgjns » Wed Oct 28, 2009 4:10 am

I have used Vick's vapo steam in my humidifier tank to assist keeping my sinus open. Sometimes when I start my machine I could feel my sinus congestion immediately start. Lately I have stopped using Vick's and have not experienced congestion. Seeing that there are scented oils that I could use that MAY improve sleep quality I am interested.

So----what can you share with me??

check with pur-sleep.com

He's got a whole setup of oils and the right way of delivering them. They shouldn't go in your tank at all.

It's not a good idea to put anything in the HH tank. I've used the pur-sleep for over 2 years and love them. I use the clear(mint) and peace(lavender) together. Using the oils I seems to go to sleep faster, stay asleep longer, and sleep deeper. I have had no ill effects from the oils at all.
