Aromatherapy

Post by jetsfan613 » Fri Nov 06, 2015 6:32 am

I am a new CPAP user and still trying to get used to the equipment. Would appreciate your thoughts on using the aromatherapy products that may assist in making the experience more pleasant. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I have used some sort of aromatherapy for years.
From just putting some sort of essential oil on a little cotton ball and setting it next to the air intake filter or the machine to a more "sophisticated" disc.
Here's one place to look at stuff

Don't ever put anything in the water in the humidifier though...that's not a good idea.

Some scents are a bit strong, so being able to move them farther away from the intake is a great thing.
