here are some best among that:
Lavender oil.
Its good for a spa treatment.It help mostly for stress relief and and reduce depression and anxiety in mostly women.
It helps to stimulates brain and limbic system.I think it cost nearly $50.
Bergamot oil is another best aromatic oil for stress relief.Basically it is used a as a fragrance and food flavoring.
Jasmine oil s another best for good sleep .
All this oils are available in local aromatic store and cheap though.

[quote=\"elenang\"]I think its not the diffuser,,, what did u put in it?


I use those typical water diffusers they sell at shopping centres with the leaf / mushroom top. Just put 2-3 drops of any oil to diffuse 🙂

OH i suddenly realised what you are talking about... that kind is more air purification type right?[/quote]Haha to collect dirt... the water gets dirty...
I was tempted to buy the Muji one (diffuser only, in mist) but a little too pricey for my liking.

Please make sure you don’t buy those cheap quality oils… U know someone once told me which makes sense… inhalation is the fastest way for the oils to reach your brain. Like in GA. few seconds we are knocked out. so can u imagine u use cheap oils, the toxins go straight to your brain. Thats why I switched to Young Living oils cos you can ingest certain oils internally. I figured if they advocate internal ingestion of the oils, the quality must be really good!


PS This is not marketing la… I am member but I don’t have time to recruit other members…I am the only member with zero downline haha cos I only buy for my own use…

I am using YL diffuser, quality is not bad even though the box stated MIC. My friend bought Muji-look-alike and it worked well for 3 months before she experienced leakage. She subsequently switched to YL and had no complained. Another friend bought authentic Muji and said it worked well for her.


Personally I prefer small capacity as I do not like to diffuse over long hours. I think pure essential oil can be too \"toxic\", go for quality instead of quantity. In addition, I like to vary the aroma for different times of the day.
how toxic can it be? Like choking? curious since my diffuser is sorta giving my children coughs :lightrod:

I have been using YL for about 9 months now and I must say its really very good but must persist lah…

In summary, overall effects today is I feel healthier, not so tired and fatigued. My menstrual cycles are more regular ( I mean flow not timing) and my daughter immune system definitely improved. She used to be sick all the time… the cough and flu like recovering then fresh round again… She was on so much medication everyday, very heart pain loh… For myself, ppl say I am like shen gong hu ti… everyone sick but I am ok haha.

But this journey not easy… After about 3rd month of using, I suddenly experienced a bout of eczema on my left ankle. And it lasted about 3 months too!!! My husband insisted I was poisoning myself with the essential oils but with research and some expert advise from leaders, I came to realise and understood eventually it was toxins escaping from my skin… I came across another lady with same issues .her rashes was on her back but she stopped totally…

Anyway, I am glad I persisted lah… now my rashes no more already and I feel really great everyday.

Cost wise, my personal view is that it may be expensive if you try to compare for example across other brands but from my studies and research, I also come to realise those brands marked "pure" may not be pure cos apparently as long as you have 5% of pure oils in the product, you can label your product as pure? Something like that…

Anyway, there are really very very expensive YL oils (think rose is about $300?) but we should buy just what we need. If anyone is interested, my "necessary" oils from YL are "Thieves" for immunity, lemon for diffusing and immunity and drinking and cleaning haha and peppermint for fevers, stomachache, headaches and pains.

Other oils I buy from them are Lavender (for skin and insomnia)and RC (for cough). I recently started Endoflex and PPP for thyroid and women hormonal balance… But in essence I have a budget of about $160 every month (just adjust accordingly la like buy this one first then next month then buy another oil cos you don’t finish one bottle in one month) and to me its affordable knowing I have good quality oils for my children and family… (just one less shopping trip per month, haha)

Wah, I feel like I am writing essay, better stop now… haha

Have been diffusing lavender and gentle baby at night when my boys sleep. The essential oil smell really nice and soothing.

anyone can recommend a diffuser?

I am not too keen on burner as i am afraid of my kids \"itchy hands\".

I like the Muji diffuser! Very simple design, easy to clean and comes with a night light too!

looks really nice.. how much did you pay for it? do you add EO directly to the water? or is there a separate attachment to hold the Oil? It says (on the website) the material is China? or is actually plastic made in China?

I'm currently using one bought from Taobao. RMB80. Holds about 1L of water but if on maximum, after one day the water almost gone.. need to refill regularly.

[quote=\"kitty2\"][*]Anyone bought from iherb before? Which brand is good?


You can try Now brand.

However, just bear in mind that there's a risk of breakage even though the bottles are bubble-wrapped. It happened to me when I bought the Now Peppermint oil. The bottle broke. I made a report to iHerb and the courier service also helped report on my behalf, stating that the bottle broke whilst in transit. iHerb refunded the price of the oil back to my credit card.

:thankyou: wonder is the oil pure or organic? I am looking for massage oil, which are the ones for insomnia,destress and calming?

Thanks for sharing[/quote]Sorry, not too sure if the oils are pure oil or organic. Think must read the description and reviews further to get a better idea. I've come across massage oils on iherb before. So far, I only bought peppermint oil. I use it to keep off pests and rodents.

I bought a few types of oil to rotate so that I don't get immune to it. So far, all scents work well for me. I am using:


-Calming
-Relaxing
-Insomnia
-Immunity Booster
-Crown Chakra
-Lemon grass (not for sleeping, too strong)
-Third eye (haven't opened yet)

Downside is need to switch it off once water solution dries up, which is fine with me as DH will switch if off while I slowly drift to sleep. DH say no need go Bali already, can spa at home. Savings? Doubt so....every visit burn few hundreds in my pocket. :roll:

But I find Mt Sapola's reed diffuser not so effective, which I have feed back to them during my last visit. I put 2 bottles of reed diffuser (Lavender) and (Lemon grass) at stairway and still can't smell a thing unless I go very close, but still subtle (I do diligently flip them over periodically, but no use). Sales girl said I might be immune to the smell...

But I find Royal Doulton reed diffuser very effective. I use Cotton Blossom scent in study room. Yes, as jetsetter mentioned, can get it from Robinson. The smell through reed diffuser is lingering and not over powering.
