Aromatherapy - Adding stuff to the water

Post by Chazzyd » Sun May 28, 2006 9:00 am

Hi,

I've been searching for things I can add to my CPAP humidifier water... something that might produce a pleasant smell, or aid in nasal congestion.

But I have not found anything yet.

Do any of you add anything to you water... to make mask time a little more enjoyable and refreshing?

From what I understand...that would be a big no-no. Adding anything, aside from distilled water, to the humidifier could shorten the life of both your HH and the CPAP machine... I have heard of people putting a small dish or aroma oils near the CPAP machine's air intake..and that helps to some degree..but adding stuff to the water would be highly discouraged...
