I came to ask this exact question. My dd1 and dh's allergies are kicking and I want to try a vapor/mist diffuser. We have plug ins, lamp rings and car diffusers but haven't done the vapor/mist yet

Didn't make it out there today because of an accident on the interstate. I will go look sometime this week before y spring break is over!

The reason I asked about noise is because it will bug me if it's too too loud, but if it's just a little hum, I can deal

I bought this one! My family is coughing sneezing and miserable so I took the plunge! I also put lemon in our plug in, got out the olbas and skinners salve! I'm officially playing hardball on their allergies

Plus I bought a tummy blend and in looking for pain reliever blends I realized Olba can work for sore/tight muscles so I'm using it on my sprain! - super excited cuz my foot and calf are both a wreck! <--- I just went totally off topic cuz that has nothing to do with diffusers.

Lemon/Lavender/Peppermint is working for a LOT of people for allergies (don't use peppermint if you're nursing). I put it in a roll-on for my kids (back of neck and bottoms of feet is where we apply it).

I have some. C became forever sensitized to certain Eo's within hours. To this day he can't smell lavender without feeling sick to his stomach and weak.

I never did neat application and this was only from smelling.

Woohoo!! I have all of those. And DH has allergies like crazy.

So... I guess I can put drops of all three oils onto the little pad that goes in the diffuser I just bought?

I have no clue but can't wait to hear how it goes I just follow the directions. Usually yes the pad is where the oil goes

I ordered mine online and hoping it doesn't take forever to get here. I also ordered more lavendar. I put lemon in my plug in diffuser last night

I'm also wondering how it goes. I found some eucalyptus oil and put it in our humidifier. It doesn't smell at all, but maybe it's not supposed to?? I'm hoping it helps with ds' congestion. I can see how these oils can get addicting!
