How do I use an aromatherapy inhaler?

Uncap and hold the inhaler just below your nose (you do not need to insert it). Take 1–2 slow breaths while silently (or softly) repeating the affirmation on the label—or choose one that suits you. Recap promptly to preserve freshness. Tip: many users simply wave it under the nose for a strong, hygienic whiff.

What makes Earth Solutions inhalers different?

We pair synergistic, research-informed essential-oil blends with a brief, memorable affirmation printed on every inhaler. This Scent + Intention approach is unique to Earth Solutions and helps reinforce desired states through consistent practice.

Are all aromatherapy inhalers created equal?

No. While many inhalers are made by reputable companies, some use synthetic or petrochemical-based fragrances because they are cheaper, stronger, and easier to mass-produce. These chemical additives do not offer the same natural benefits as pure essential oils and can irritate sensitive users. Companies that use synthetic microfiber oil wicks should also be avoided. Choose a trustworthy brand that uses only natural essential oils—ingredients that are genuinely aromatic and extractable by nature. Scents such as coffee, vanilla, or gardenia are usually artificially reproduced because true natural essences are rare and difficult to extract.

How often can I use my inhaler?

Use it as often as desired. Typical use is 2–3 sessions per day, 1–10 slow breaths per session. Adjust based on personal preference.

How long do essential oil inhalers last?

With normal use, an inhaler typically provides hundreds of uses. Many customers report noticeable aroma for months, and some for years, depending on how often it is opened and how it is stored.

What keeps the oils from going rancid?

We include a small amount of jojoba oil as a stabilizing carrier. Jojoba resists oxidation, helping the blend stay fresh longer.

Do I put the inhaler into my nose?

You may, but it is not necessary. For hygiene and comfort, hold it just below the nostrils or wave it under the nose. You’ll still get a robust aroma.

Inhalers are not designed to be refilled. For best performance and hygiene, replace when aroma fades.

Are there any safety notes?

Intended for adults; supervise older children as appropriate. Avoid use near eyes; do not ingest; keep out of reach of small children and pets. If you have asthma, seizures, or serious environmental sensitivities, consult your clinician before use. Discontinue if irritation occurs.

How should I store it?

Keep it capped, away from heat and direct sunlight. Store upright when possible.

Is it travel & TSA friendly?

Solid-wick inhalers are typically TSA-friendly for carry-on travel. Always follow current airport security guidelines.

Lavender Essential Oil for Insomnia | Aromatherapy for Anxiety

Lavender essential oil is among the most versatile and beloved oils in aromatherapy. Steam-distilled from the flowering tops of Lavandula angustifolia, it has been used for centuries to quiet the mind, reduce anxiety, and promote deep, restorative sleep. Its sweet, herbaceous floral aroma brings emotional balance while its antiseptic and antimicrobial properties make it equally valued for skincare and household use.

Therapeutic Actions

Relieves insomnia and nervous tension
Soothes skin irritation, sunburn, and acne
Reduces inflammation and minor pain
Antimicrobial – helps purify indoor air when diffused

Key Terpenes and Active Compounds

Linalool – Sedative and anxiolytic; reduces neural excitability and stress response
Linalyl acetate – Relaxant; lowers cortisol and supports restorative sleep
β-Caryophyllene – Mild anti-inflammatory and grounding terpene

Scientific Insight

Lavender’s calming effects are attributed to its high concentrations of linalool and linalyl acetate, compounds shown in studies to lower heart rate and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. Inhalation has been found to improve sleep quality and reduce anxiety scores in both clinical and home settings.

Research: “ Aromas of rosemary and lavender essential oils differentially affect cognition and mood in healthy adults” found lavender aroma improved calmness and cognitive performance.
