How to Make an Aromatherapy Inhaler
- Combine the essential oils in a small glass or bowl.
- If using a reusable inhaler the essential oils can be added directly to the glass barrel.
- Add inhaler wick or organic cotton and allow essential oils to absorb.
- Use tweezers to transfer wick/cotton to inhaler barrel.
- Using tweezers is important for sanitary practices and reduces likelihood of contact with “neat”/undiluted essential oils.
- Cap/seal inhaler.
- Depending on frequency of use, replace (disposable) or refresh (reusable) your inhaler every 2-3 weeks.
- If using a reusable inhaler, sanitize glass barrel and replace wick after 2-3 refreshes.
How to Use the Calm-N-Hale Inhaler
The compact size of an aromatherapy inhaler makes it perfect for carrying in a purse or pocket, allowing you to access its benefits whenever you need them.
Open the inhaler and hold to your nose, avoiding direct contact with the skin.
Use a short “sniff” 3 times through each nostril, like you’re smelling a flower, holding the aroma in your nose.
Then inhale deeply through each nostril 2 times.
Repeat as needed throughout the day.
Now’s the time to start supporting your immune system! Get the Cold & Flu Season bundle, then make the Calm-N-Hale uplifting, immune-boosting inhaler.
The Power of Three: Understanding the Essential Oils
The Calm-N-Hale essential oils are carefully selected to support your body’s natural defenses. Let’s explore the benefits of each one.
Green Mandarin (Citrus reticulata)
Green Mandarin is a bright, uplifting citrus essential oil that’s much more than just a cheerful aroma. Green Mandarin is rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
It also has calming effects, reducing anxiety and promoting a sense of well-being. Reducing stress during the day, inhalation of Green Mandarin at bedtime helps reduce time to sleep onset.[1] Maintaining a balance in emotions and getting sufficient sleep helps support the immune system.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Lavender is known for its calming energy, which reduces stress and promotes restful sleep—key factors in maintaining a robust immune system. Stress triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone that can suppress immune function, and sleep deprivation can weaken our defenses. By easing stress load and improving sleep quality, Lavender indirectly supports our immunity.
Additionally, Lavender has antimicrobial properties and enhances phagocytosis (the process by which the immune system eliminates harmful pathogens)[2], further bolstering the body’s defenses.

Frankincense (Boswellia carteri)
Frankincense has been revered for centuries for its therapeutic properties as an incense and essential oil. Frankincense has anti-inflammatory properties, promotes cellular regeneration, and supports respiratory health, making it particularly useful during cold and flu season. On an emotional level, its grounding aroma fosters mental clarity and quiets the mind, enhancing meditation or stress-relief practices.
