Use Aromatherapy Vaporizers

You can buy electric vaporizers at large department stores and retail outlets. Some use only aromatherapy oils and some use steam along with the oils, while still others use cool air therapies. Finding the machine that is right for you is a simple matter of doing your research on what you really need the machine for. If you have sinus trouble, you will probably need the steam treatment more than anything else. Aromatherapy is great for people who need to remove stress from their lives and relax more.


Instructions








1. Pick a machine that is easy to handle and portable enough to take anywhere that you need it. This will enable you to easily set up the equipment where you can be most comfortable in order to do the treatment. You will not need to check the instructions each time you use the vaporizer.


2. Plug your vaporizer into an electrical outlet and give it some time for the machine to heat up to the proper temperature. Read the instructions to determine the correct amount of time to wait. This is especially important if you are using steam treatment in your machine, as the water only turns to steam at a certain temperature.








3. Pour medicated oil on a pad in the center of the vaporizer. These paper pads are available at any drugstore or department store. Some machines will also have a water reservoir that needs to be filled before use. These type of vaporizers use steam to deliver the medicated oil. Other machines deliver the oil without the use of water to create steam. This method does not dilute the potency of the oil. The non-water machines use a stream of air to deliver the oil to where you want it.


4. Place the plastic face piece over the recessed bowl, if your machine has such a face piece. Place your mouth and nose against the top of the face piece. The steam will be warm but not too hot to the touch. It will push the medicated oil in the proper direction for you to breathe it in.


5. Inhale as deeply as you can until the steam stops or the medicated oil is gone. Some machines will signal you when it is time to quit the treatment. Other machines will simply stop making steam because all of the water is used up.
