Flu and respiratory problems

Use of Essential oils and Atomiser or Humidifier

There are many different tips and tricks that people will use to ward off the germs, but people are discovering more and more the use of essential oils.

The use of Atomiser or Humidifier

When people use an atomiser / humidifier, it usually is for some sort of issue that is affecting any respiratory problems, which includes the sinuses.

The atomiser or humidifier works to help bring humidity into the dry air that can be hard on these areas, often making any problems feel even worse.

Dry air can cause nosebleeds, cracked lips, and cause extreme agitation to someone suffering from something as simple as the common cold.

Almost any kind of oil can be added to an atomiser. The types you add are just a matter of personal preference, or it depends on what symptoms you are trying to treat. If things stop smelling as strongly or you feel like they are no longer working, you can always add in more drops of oil, staying within the three to nine drop range. Cleaning out the atomiser after is also important if any scents continue to linger.

Essential oils can assist in the symptoms that one with a cold might be suffering from congestion, sore throat, and sinus pressure. Adding the oils to the humidifier is a simple thing to do and shouldn’t do damage to your machine. In fact, you will only need to do an extra step.
