In cool mist humidifiers, nozzles and evaporator plates will quickly become clogged with a sticky residue which will eventually render them useless.\u00a0 In warm mist humidifiers, adding essential oils can create a fire hazard.<\/p><h3>Q: How do I know whether or not a humidifier is safe to use with essential oils?<\/h3><p>A: You must carefully check the product specifications. If the humidifier does not explicitly state that it is designed to diffuse essential oils, don&#8217;t try to use it for that purpose.<\/p><h3>Q: Are there any benefits to using a humidifier with a built-in essential oil diffuser?<\/h3><p>A: If you believe in the medical benefits of essential oils or simply want to improve the scent in your room, then yes &#8211; purchase a unit designed to distribute both water vapor and oils.<\/p><h3>Q: What Is an oil diffuser?<\/h3><p>A: An oil diffuser is a device that atomizes and releases essential oils into the air.\u00a0 Most essential oil diffusers use heat to evaporate the oils. Some use cold mist nozzles.<\/p><h3>Q: What types of oils can be diffused?<\/h3><p>A: Any kind of essential oil can be diffused.<\/p><h3>Q: How much time does it take for oil to dissipate after being diffused?<\/h3><p>A. Dissipation of a diffused essential oil mist generally takes a few minutes to half an hour to fill a room.<\/p><h3>Q: Does diffusion affect the scent of the oil?<\/h3><p>A: Diffusion affects the strength of the aroma, but not the basic smell.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you suffer from dry air and want the soothing benefits of essential oils, can you put essential oil in a humidifier?
