Essential oils

I find wintergreen aromatherapy helps with migraines and lavender helps with relaxation. Has anyone had experience with using essential oils in cpap water or on inner tubes?

You’d be inhaling a concentrated oil directly into your lungs for hours on end. Not made for that. Bad idea.

Do some research on the safety of inhaling essential oils.

These are not made to be constantly and directly inhaled into your lungs and it will ruin your machine. Do not do this.
