Who are into essential oils?
Lately, I've been into collecting these oils. Let's talk about our love for these oils. Let's also share blends and recipes.
-
i'm addicted to scents..
i have citronella oil for burner and i have citronella na water based for the infuser ba yan.. un parang fishbowl na neron umiikot inside to purify the air ek ek =)
then i also have eucalyptus oil and peppermint for the burner
last purchase ko lavander oil, same purpose, sa burner rin.
where do you get your oils?
-
^gusto ko din ng citronella oil na pwedeng ilagay sa air diffuser. san pwedeng makabili nyan sis? TIA!
-
wow may replies na! so glad I've found people who loves EO.
I used both pure EO and yung fragrances. For pure EO kasi are are able to reap their benefits, like I use them a lot to cure my kid's allergies, relieve stress, deal with flu, etc. Sa fragrances, usually ginagamit ko sa car.
-
^^Thanks sis :D inis ako dun sa nabili naming air diffuser na me kasamang oils, parang minutes lang tinagal nung amoy. gusto ko yung long lasting talaga hihi.
-
my fave scent lately is a combi of peppermint and lime, it perks up my mood.
also, trying to diffuse thieves oil lately para iwas flu. so far, so good. been down last week because of a terrible flu and thank God, hindi nahawa yung mga bata. siguro yung constant na pagddiffuse ng thieves.
-
Count me in, I love essential oils! Nakakarelax lang. Naghahanap nga ako ng eucalyptus, nabanggit kasi dati sa KrisTV yung Apollo brand kaso nakailang Mercury drugstore branches na ako wala sila :(
I usually buy them my essential oils sa SM, Scents for Senses, Cash and Carry. Gusto kong i-try din yung sa Bath Origins.
Nalulungkot lang ako dahil yung gustung-gusto kong scent sa SM - yung FRESH - eh mukhang ang tagal nang wala.
-
^i also love eucalyptus. try mo combine sya sis sa peppermint parang mentos ang dating.hehe
lately ginagamit ko lemon eo na lang to clean our room. sinasabay ko sya sa mop. the room smells good! i read na okay ang lemon pang linis. one time ginamit ko din lavender as linen spray.
-
pa join! :)
i love essential oils too! i have eucalyptus, lavender, sandalwood from Ilog Maria
I have citrus EO given by a friend. I bought Peppermind oil from an online seller hehea
any suggestion san mura makabili ng pure EO? hehe
i use EO sa candle burner and sa air diffuser ko..currently using mia maison : fresh bamboo - non water based oil ang ni recommend (feeling ko isa na akong panda!) :)
-
I use eucalyptus oil to ease my breathing pag clog yung nose ko at yung lavender oil pag gusto kong ma-relax bago matulog.
-
Hi guys!
I ordered new scents:
the spa signature for the oil burner
fresh bamboo for the air revitalizer (water based)
including shipping, it was like 500 bucks or 550..
since i found this seller on olx, i didn't buy from mia maison na hehe
-
^^true. eucalyptus does wonders! hinahalo ko sya minsan sa carrier oil and then nilalagay sa paa ng kids.
-
Thank you chiqmom! Try ko nga yang eucalyptus at peppermint.
May nadiscover ako na na-share ko na rin sa kabilang thread. Yung poo-pourri or eau de loo parfum kung i-market nila, which can be done at home simply by mixing EOs with water and spritzing at least 2-3 sprays directly sa toilet bowl before doing number 2 and then flush agad. Wala ngang amoy -- ni-roadtest ni hubby for two days na!
Nabasa ko na this is more effective in masking odors than spritzing the concoction into the air after doing the deed.
-
^wow, that's nice. matry nga.
-
Count me in! :D
I'm obsessed with lavender and green tea, I use it both in the diffuser and oil burner. When I want to clean the air after cooking (we live in a condo kase), I burn lemon and ginger. You can try blending ginger with everything, it enhances the scent.
Where do you usually get EOs? I like Oryspa's but very limited ang stalls nila.
-
I have EOs na for burner lang, i really want to have a aerator. Can i use my burner EOs for aerators? Tia!
-
i asked my sister to get us eucalyptus when she was abroad para sana sa colds, allergies, etc.. kaso i just read, hindi pa pala safe sa babies 😞 Anyone knows anong eo ang safe for babies less than 12months?
-
anong brand po ba may murang essential oils? yung pure sana
-
Count me in!
I get my oils from Plant Therapy. Kakaaddict mag hoard! I have a lot of blends already. I diffuse mostly to combat colds and cough, boost immunity, and help us sleep better.
Favorite ng anak ko lavender and roman chamomile combi. Tulog kagad and mas mahimbing tulog nya.
I also use lavender and tea tree as roll on when we have insect bites. Mabilis mawala and di masyado nagiiwan ng dark spots.
Love EOs!
-
^super same tayo! i use oils to combat seasonal allergies (cough colds), boost immunity, and for relaxation. i love Eden's Garden. Lately I had my very first Plant Therapy oil, super nice din. I have their Immune Boom.
-
Currently addicted to Young Living's essential oil. daming benefits =)
-
+1 sa YL! Grabe nakaka-addict talaga and the benefits... wala ako masabi. For a good night sleep especially sa kids, I use Stress Away + Lavender. Mukhang need ko maghoard ng lavender, dahil iyon ang madalas gamitin.
-
I have lavender and some blend for relaxation. It's a Melaleuca brand. I want the Jasmine kaso nakakaloka ang presyo.
-
my co-worker offered me young living pero ang mahal naman [textspeak!].
I can get the a bigger bottle of the same quality at whole foods.
Love eucalyptus in the diffuser specially at night.
-
Sisses, anong diffuser gamit nyo? Pahingi naman ng recos. Thanks!
-
I got mine from Amazon called Leelbox, 100mL for only $19.99CAD on sale. The unit stopped working after the first night. I was gonna return it but the seller decided to send a replacement unit instead of a refund and said they don't need the defective unit. Tapos biglang gumana. So, I have two now. I like it because it's small enough to be used in the office. Just use the high quality essential oil to get the most benefit out of your diffuser.
-
Got ours at Costco called Nuvo essence - it came with the diffuser and 6 different essential oils. Young living also sells diffuser/essential oil package.
-
im new to EOs. I have vetiver and lavender from Young Living for my son na sobrang hyper, trying palang if it'll work. Wala pa akong premium starter kit, ang mahal kase eh :)
-
^sis feedback sa Young Living lavender kung anong effect sa son mo, haha, planning to try it also for my toddler :)
-
Pwede malaman ang price range ng YL starter kit sa pinas? Want to check if it?s cheaper to buy there.
-
Im currectly using Young Living essential oils. Love it :)
-
Just ordered my Young Living kit last night. After 2 months of lurking sa page sa FB I finally gave in :D Excited na ko :)
-
My bf just bought a diffuser para daw mas healthy and relaxing yung environment sa room namin kaya nag-enjoy naman ako magcheck sa mga stores ng essential oils.
I bought Lavender Kashmir, Tea Tree, Helichrysum oils from Aroma Tierra online. Mabango at ang fresh ng scent nilang tatlo and my favorite is still the lavender one. Still looking for other brands here in Dubai.
-
Muji is also selling essential oils
-
^ I searched for Muji oils online at ang pricey pala niya, it's around 365-430 aed.
Torn between Pure Joy brand and Plant Guru. Wala akong mahanap na reviews about them eh.
-
Magsimula pa lang ako at nagbabasa pa lang. May nabili ako sa local organic seller na mix "Feel Better in a Rush" tapos ok siya.
Ngayon tingin tingin pa lang ng pure EO kung alin ok para sa amin.
Kakaexcite :-*
-
I love eucalyptus, refreshing and relaxing para sakin. Combination minsan ng eucalyptus and peppermint is amazing too. Lavender also, always a favorite. I read that a diffuser is best to get the full benefit of the oils because diffusers give you the EO's in their pure form. A burner kasi nagiiba daw yung molecular structure ng oils because of the heat, thus ang pinaka benefit lang nya is yung scent. Meron naman iba ang sabi wala naman daw difference.
-
Hello.... I just want to ask about oil diffuser. If kaya nya ifade ang amoy ex. sa kitchen un after magluto maamoy sa kitchen we have exhaust fan but not enough na totally mawala un amoy ng niluto. Hindi namin pwede iopen ang window kasi winter na ngayon sa place namin. Before ang gamit namin scented candles hindi rin enough na try na rin namin EO pero un drops lang sa balls. Hindi gusto ni hubby gumamit ng chemicals or spray or un mga glade na pang odor eliminator may allergy kasi sya sa EO ok naman sya no allergies. So naiisip nya bumili ng oil diffuser pang alternative. I just wondering if it is effective. TIA sa mga sasagot.
-
^I use a 100mL diffuser and it does make my dining and kitchen area smell fresh. But then I don't have any issue naman sa amoy ng niluluto ko. You can try putting baking soda or coal to absorb the smell. Try mo yung pang-fridge na Arm and Hammer and put it your kitchen area.
-
^Everything in moderation. It's not advisable to put too much oil and use it on long period of time. For the smallest 100mL diffuser, I read that 3-5 drops is recommended.
-
Thank you mga sisses. Bibili na kami ng diffuser gumagamit kami ng baking soda pero not enough ilang days before mawala un amoy. Anyway thank you sa advice kung anong oil ang gagamitin. Baka maglagay din kami ng diffuser sa room lavender oil ang gagamitin namin para mas masarap ang tulog ni baby. Magconsult muna kami sa pedia nya if ok ang EO sa baby/kid.
-
Hi everyone, I have tried Young Living essential oils referred to me by my friend and sobrang okay talaga. It's 100% pure and therapeutic grade. When I had a headache timing kakadating [textspeak!] nung starter kit ko, tinry ko mg.diffuse and after a while nawala [textspeak!] headache ko. Promise! I don't know if it's just on my mind or what pero promise I didn't took a med.. un lang talaga ngdiffuse ako ng EO oils. Kaya para sakin super effective talaga sya. Kaya highly recommended ko talaga sya. If you are interested by the way, you may check this FB page: https://www.facebook.com/younglivingphl/ Hope I helped :)

Sis, are you based in the Philippines? If yes, safe ba pa ship ng Plant Therapy directly dito? I'm ready to buy but nase-stress ako sa idea na baka mas mahal pa yung taxes/fees na bayaran ko kesa sa actual oils lol. They're using USPS lang eh, no option for DHL/FedEx, etc.
-
I like ylang-ylang and lavander meron din kami citrus, peppermint pero mas bet ko talaga un ylang and lavander.
-
Nagiging interested din ako sa EO lalo lately ang dalas kong sipunin tsaka nahihirapan akong makatulog. Baka sakaling makatulong ito
-
Di ko masyado gusto lavander eh yun pa naman lagi kasama sa basic set :-[ Peppermint love na love ko :-*
Sa pampabango ng bahay, subukan ko bukas yung simmer freshener pwede EO lang pwede icombine sa ibang fruit peels/spices.
Yung ibang reco:
- EO sa plug-in air freshener device
- water and EO sa oil burner
- water and EO sa reed diffuser
safe ba pa ship ng Plant Therapy directly dito? I'm ready to buy but nase-stress ako sa idea na baka mas mahal pa yung taxes/fees na bayaran ko kesa sa actual oils lol. They're using USPS lang eh, no option for DHL/FedEx, etc.
Nung nagcheck ako, halos 2k ang shipping fee at meron FedEx.
Tanong mo na lang kung door to door na walang additional fees kasi nung nagorder ako dati galing U.S, ang mahal ng dinagdag na charges ni Fedex (mas mahal pa dun sa binili ko).
Plano ko bibili na lang kay wellnessmomph sa monthly preorder batch niya mas mura kesa ako mismo bibili.
-
@Shadow Angel sis where did you buy your Ylang-ylang?
-
*Dito lang sa local store kung saan malapit sa amin kung saan kami na nakatira (canada).
-
I have been obsessed with my diffuser ever since I got it. My oils are mostly from MUJI, except for my lemongrass one which I got from Phutawan (Thai brand) :) I hope MUJI sells the large diffuser also. Kaya lang the bigger the diffuser, the more drops of oil needed. Medyo magastos din since I use it everyday. The MUJI SA mentioned that they will be selling a travel diffuser soon. I will definitely purchase this one so I can take it with me to the office.
-
nakabili na ako ng YL EOs, almost 3weeks ko ng ginagamit.
At ilang gabi na ding dire-diretso ang tulog ko dahil sa lavender at cedarwood.
Pag umaga naman, peppermint at lemon, pampagising. Hanap pa ako ng ibang blends para naman sa paghihilik ni hubs.
-
Any recommendation for a quality diffuser? I bought an unbranded one years ago pero ang bilis din nasira eh di ko na napalitan. Kaasar. What i have lang is a burner kaso it uses hallogen bulb to warm the oils eh malakas naman sa kuryente.
-
Any Qatar GTer here, san kayo nakabili ng affordable yet quality oil diffuser dito, pasama na din ng oils hehe! TIA :)

I have an unbranded humidifier/diffuser which I got from Lazada. Happy ako so far kasi ang lakas ng buga nya hehe. I have tangerine and citronella EOs from Aura Cacia. Hindi ko type masyado yung tangerine. I'm eyeing lavender and peppermint on my next purchase.
How long do you diffuse EOs? May nabasa ako dapat daw 30 minutes lang?
-
^Maikli yata ang 30 minutes. Kasi yung 100ml na diffuser ko can last from 10pm hanggang umaga. Basta lang daw hindi 24 hours, otherwise you don't get the full benefits of the oil. Kumbaga immune na yung system mo because of too much exposure.
-
I have been using EO, well actually frankincense Lang before, since 2015. Pero last year became more interested because I was pregnant and I don't want to expose myself to harmful chemicals. We had an ant problem and I don't want to use pesticides. From there derederetso na.
I use petal diffuser from doterra. I used the one from Mia Maison before pero nung nagka promo yung petal diffuser I took advantage and bought na.
I love my eos but as much as I want to use it daily and all the time, it's really not advisable.
When diffusing try not to diffuse continuously for more than 5 days. Take a break and switch up your oils :)
Also, most of the time, less is more than enough to get full therapeutic value of the eos.
-
Just an observation regarding diffuser,with my old one, hindi masyadong maamoy yung EO, but with the doterra petal diffuser 1 to 2 drops significant na yung smell.
-
Thanks kvandenhaak and beauty_addict!
-
I just heard about the benefits of essential oils from my officemates. Kakahiya. Tapos nag-research ako and learned that lavender is clinically proven to improve sleep.
Dahil dito, i want to buy a large diffuser, good for 10hrs sana. I want a GOOD QUALITY diffuser.
Sa mga sis who mentioned MUJI diffuser, how long does it last? Abot ba 10hrs?
-
^3 hours lang max setting ng Muji diffuser. You can restart it after it turns off.
-
actually the safe practice of eo does not recommend long interval of diffusion.
-
my pure EOs are from Giga, v&m naturals, and Beryl. Last night I discovered EOs from Naoe and pure essentials sa vertis north. Ang saya! for me kasi giga is not that good medyo iba amoy niya feel ko may halo na yun. Yung mga EOs from Naoe halos kumpleto na, mas madali ko pa mabibili kasi nasa mall lang. Kakakainip kasi mag antay ng orders pag online e. Peppermint from v&m is my fave, okay eos ni v&m pero konti lang kasi variants nila. Kay beryl naman msyado pricey for me kasi 5ml lang siya pero sure ka ng puro talaga.
-
hi mga sis, joining the thread. I just bought the DoTerra petal diffuser online recently, waiting for it to be delivered. I read good reviews about it.
Gusto ko itry yung lemongrass and lavender EO kasi ang relaxing ng amoy. Yung lemongrass parang nasa The Spa lang ako hehe. Actually I havent bought any EO yet. Pinagiisipan ko kung bibili na lang ba ko ng cheaper EO or not. Medyo pricey din pala yung MUJI and DoTerra EO though.
-
bought a concocted na EO for headache sa Shopee months ago, used it lang last week when I couldn't find my trusted tiger balm. I must say effective sya! I don't know ano halo halo nun pero ang galing nya.
-
guys ok ba yun diffuser yun sa mga srplus anyone na nakatry nun saalamat
-

baka sis it's made of head ease from EG
-
oily mama here. my favorite would be peppermint, bergamot and orange. i also use black pepper to curb my appetite
-
Anyone using Youngliving EO in particular? Parang gusto ko kasi ang Kidscents nila.
-
Any suggestions on where to buy EO yung long lasting sana yung scent. I bought one sa shopee hinde tumagal yung scent :(
-
I bought Plant Therapy (Shoppee), so far matagal naman yung amoy nya. :)
-

been using yl since march.
happy with the results of the blends and diffusers.
malaki help lalo na ngayon anxiety and depression dahil sa pandemic.
and stress s work.
and other health benefits.
-
^ako din! I've been using yl eos since March and I'm thankful naintroduce ako sa EOs. It promotes relaxation and sleep. And hindi na nagmemed si hubby for his allergic rhinitis. Ang amazing! I'm one happy oilbularya. :)
-
Maganda din yung doTerra Essential oils kaso mejo pricey din.
-
EO user din here. I love diffusing them. Been using lavander for relaxation, lemon and thieves for air cleaning, frankincense or eucalyptus pag masama pakiramdam ko. I buy Plant Therapy from Shopee, it's a good quality oil din. Similar to Young Living, pag pinatak mo sa bond paper it won't leave a mark. Mas mura pa. But lately I am fascinated with this diffuser from YL, so naka pending pa order ko sa kanila since out of stock daw yung item. And thieves sa YL ko lang din nakita.
-
^ Oo nakakatuwa magdiffuse sis. Nakakauplift ng mood talaga. And I have two diffusers. Yung Owl diffuser sa room namin, tuwang tuwa yung daughter ko. Laging mahimbing ang tulog nya.
Love ko din ang Thieves and Lemon, air purifier sya
-
Lav doesn't seem to affect my kids.
-
^Try Cedarwood or Vetiver sis. :)
-
Mga sis, kapag binili ba yung Premium Starter Kit, automatic nang member ka na?
-
it depends sis. madami nagbebenta ng kit for a lower price pero walang membership. meron naman sa website nila mismo, dun magiging member ka na.
I have been diffusing eo's for years na, pero when i was fascinated by their Desert Mist diffuser, i choose to enroll under a friend who has been teaching DIY classes for years na. For me, sulit na din membership ko kasi i get to attend her live classes free from soap making to balms, to baking bread and cakes.
-
^thanks sis! Another question po, pag member ka na, kelangan ba monthly may binibili ka? Chineck ko kasi yung website tapos parang nakalagay dun may monthly order.

No sis. May option dun na pwede once in a year ka lang bibili to retain membership. Kasi membership entitles you to discounted purchases. Yung may mga monthly required purchase, sila yung may additional incentive.
