It keeps the humifier fresher and not yucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tried-essential-oils-on-lo#post-1220204 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:04:23 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1220204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: No, just a plain ol' el cheapo humidifier. I tested it with some cheaper oils first and they don't seem to get hung up on the filter. You can get specific EO diffusers, but the generic ones are expensive, so I decided to try the humidifiers first.

That seems like a good idea. It doesn't do anything to the humidifier? Or do you have a special kind? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tried-essential-oils-on-lo#post-1220198 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:00:34 +0000 emg86 1220198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and I've tried DoTerra lavender on her feet...and nothing. I've been doing it as a part of her bedtime routine forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tried-essential-oils-on-lo#post-1220193 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 19:58:02 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1220193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just getting into EOs myself, but I can definitely tell you that peppermint oil is effective at getting rid of coughs and colds. I've been putting lavender into a humidifier in the kids' room and they HAVE been sleeping better, but I've only been doing it for a few nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-tried-essential-oils-on-lo#post-1220190 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 19:55:18 +0000 shopaholic 1220190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever tried any essential oils on your LO and if so, did it work/help? </p> <p>I was suggested to try Lavender Oil on LO's feet to help her sleep at a baby store today. Wanted to see if anyone had experience with it before I tried it. </p>
