Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Wonder if anyone could critique the inhalers at www.inhalationproducts.com? They suggest to replace them after 30 days which seems a way too short of a time to me (another marketing ploy, perhaps). I have made inhalers in salt which seem to last a long time. One product is a " powerful mixture " of tea tree and eucalyptus for travel. How many drops would make a powerful mixture? I figure that I can make my own for a lot cheaper but am curious about the medium that they use to hold the oils. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael, I have made these inhalets myself and they do last up to 6 months. All there is inside is a filter like piece of cotton (like the cotton that is on the end of a cigarette). Just soak the cotton in a few drops is all that is needed. I made up a sinus one for myself that has 3 drops Eucalyptus globus 2 drops Pine (Pinus kessia) 1 drop Tea Tree I am still using it about 6 months later. I like the sea salt ones better, personally.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Thanks...sounds like I can make my own pretty easily. Regarding the different types of eucalyptus, I have a blue eucalyptus (eucalyptus polybrachtea (sp?) which may be one of the milder ones, possibly more for diffusing. I will have to review the different eucalyptus's. Globus, I believe, is the most common one used for disinfecting and sinus purposes. Also how about cedarwood or myrtle for this type of sinus inhalant? You must get plenty of natural pine scent in Alaska.

You just need to becareful because some of them might not be good around the muscous membranes (only in a oil for a massage along sinus passages). Small amounts in each are all that are needed to last awhile (for myself that is). The ones I sell, I also make as though I am going to use them unless they are for children then I use the more mild eo's.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I was at a site that had 10/10ml. bottles for 7.50. I can't remember the site now! Does anyone have a good reference for where to buy these and/or 5ml bottles?

The 1/2 dram sizes I sell in sets line 1 each for sinus, headaches, jet lag, colds, panic attacks, etc. The 5 and 10 ml sizes are individual items.

I like a coarse salt..but I don't honestly think it matters. another option, is to stuff the jar with cotton... and saturate that... not sure if it makes a difference which method you use!
