What is a Personal Aromatherapy Inhaler?
This little device goes by a few different names.
Personal Inhaler, Aromastick, Aromatherapy Inhaler, and many others. Often times we recommend making a personal inhaler. What does this mean? This is a way to take your aromatherapy with you when you travel, head to work or school, or anytime you’re not at home near your diffuser.
Since inhalation is such an effective method of use for essential oils, it’s a perfect solution.
