Must-Have Winter Recipe #2 – Stuffy Nose Nasal Inhaler

Jump to recipe

Remember those Vick’s inhalers with which you grew up?  Here’s instructions on how to make your own Aromatherapy Inhaler with essential oils. Toss one in your “Oils-to-Go” bag. Tip: If you are going to actually stick the inhaler IN your nose, please use far fewer drops (like 3-4) than stated in the recipe or it will be too strong. It’s better for your olfactory system to keep the inhaler outside your nose.  I typically apply 3-12 drops (depending on the strength of the oil scent) on the cotton insert in my inhaler. Better to make it weaker and add more oils than to put too much.  By the way, the inhalers below come with a pipette that you can use to insert more essential oils back into the inhaler after the closing seal has been installed.

Note: Washi tape is cute on inhalers too, then just print out a label from a handheld labelmaker and apply over the washi tape.
