Has anyone tried the aromatherapy stuff?

I just noticed that it existed & they sell it on this site, I'm a bit intrigued but skeptical. Any opinions?

I like it. I use it several times a week, but not every night. I don't know if it "works", but I will be buying more when what I have runs out.

I just use BBQ sauce or Old Bay seasoning in the humidifier. Depends whether I want to dream about the Bayou or a Pig Pickin'

ETA, as a side note, it's been suggested to rinse & sanitize your hose with mouthwash. I tried it this weekend and even after rinsing the hose with water, it still had a minty scent which lasted about 2 days.

Another side note, I recall reading, wish I had saved the link, that while lavender invokes calm & relaxation with women, it supposedly has the opposite effect on men.

Been using it for over 2 years. Love the stuff! I use clear and peace together. I seem to sleep deeper and longer with the pursleep. I find this combo to be the most comforting aroma for me. During times of congestion I find an extra drop or 2 of clear help keep the nasal passages open.
