I love aromatherapy inhalers, and use them over atomizing diffusers at home because I have two felines. Essential oils are just not as safe for them as I would like, so I only diffuse when they are far from the diffuser, therefore inhalers are my first go to. I love them, but there are many times where I wish I could be hands-free, and consistently try other solutions.
So when a gentleman offering that very solution contacted me, I could not wait to try it. Introducing the Foojin personal wearable diffuser. What is it? The Foojin is a personal diffuser made from the highest quality grade of medical plastic available on the market to date. The wicks are FDA approved plastic, engineered with essential oils in mind.
I was having a bit of a stressful day when the package arrived in the mail, so the timing was perfect. I opened up the package, and utilizing the glass pipette that was provided, I applied one drop of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) to each cotton wick, placed them into the wells, and inserted the diffuser into my nose. One of my initial concerns was immediately put at ease, which was it would be uncomfortable. It did take a minute to get used to it, but it was far from uncomfortable. Another concern was that the aroma would be overwhelming, but I quickly realized that was not the case either. You are in complete control of how little or how much you use, and it is easy to just remove it and place into the plastic storage container provided.
With so many ways and reasons to use it, I highly recommend purchasing one of your own! What are a few of the ways I have used it so far?
* Hands-free driving. Going for a long drive, suffer from stress and anxiety behind the wheel or motion sickness? This is my top recommendation for use of the Foojin. Hands-free driving, therapeutic levels of aromatherapy, and you are not affecting anyone else in the car. Win-win!
* Working at your computer? Studying? Need to be alert and completely focused? The wearable diffuser is perfect. Truth be told, I used to stick the aroma inhaler up my nose so I could do this in the past, but it never stayed in place. Foojin, problem solved.
* I mentioned above that I have felines. I rescued an adorable brother and sister duo that are now a part of the family. I also have two boys, ages 10 and 12, who used the stink of the litter box as a viable reason that they cannot possibly handle the chore of cleaning it. I handed them the Foojin. They were skeptical but tried it and they are sold. Happy mom!
* This handy device has been amazing for sinus issues that allergies or a cold bring.
* The orange Foojin is specifically for exercise. Drop in a little peppermint and you will quickly see how your workouts improve. Learn more about that study, here.
* Do food cravings hit at a predictable time of day for you as mine do? Utilize an oil like grapefruit in your device which has been proved to reduce food cravings, and pass on those extra unnecessary calories. Read the study, here.
* Do you enjoy yoga, meditation, tai chi, or something where grounding and quieting the mind are the goal? I use a favorite like Sandalwood essential oil in my device and have found my practice is greatly enhanced.
*Moms…Do you have a small baby in the room and need the benefits of essential oils and both of your hands to care for them? Here is your solution!
*Nurses, are you around more germs than you would like, or are you looking for a way to block out some of the less desirable smells and can not risk affecting those around you? The therapeutic Foojin is skin colored to be more inconspicuous. If you do not care about what others think…. like me…. wear it in public places that will help assist you and your wellness.
I am sold on the unit and wanted to help get it in the hands of many others, revolutionizing the way we diffuse essential oils. I sent units to a few colleagues for their review. This is what they had to say:
“I have been happy with the results of using the Foojin oil diffuser. I first used it with Frankincense to diffuse a headache; within a few moments I could feel total clarity (like oxygen to the brain) and, the pressure was released from my head giving me great relief. The second time I used the inhaler was for relaxing and shutting down before bedtime. I used a drop of chamomile and was very relaxed within a few minutes; I am not sure I would sleep with it though. Lastly, I have used this personal inhaler while studying and I will continue to use it mostly in this manner. I would recommend this to others and look forward to using the Foojin with peppermint essential oil on my next road trip to keep me alert. The ways in which this product can be used is endless”! –Connie Sue
“Foojin is my new favorite way to receive the benefits of essential oils via inhalation. The nasal clip is easy to use and comfortable to wear. It’s convenient, hands-free, and provides you the flexibility of being able to move from room to room. I was initially concerned that the aroma would be overwhelming, right under the nose, but using one drop on each wick as recommended proved to be just the right amount. My favorite time to use it is while getting around in the morning or when I need a pick me up at my desk in the afternoon. This could be a game-changer for sure!”-Megan Hemling
“I was excited to try the Foojin! Despite my initial concerns, I was delighted with the product! I worried the fragrance might be overwhelming with the pads so close to the nose, but the level of the aroma is surprisingly pleasant, and gentle! I was also concerned that the device might pinch the nose, or be uncomfortable to wear. However, the plastic is perfectly rounded and surprisingly comfortable. All in all, a great product that I would recommend to anyone looking for hands-free, portable essential oil inhalation” –Ashley Glassman.
The Foojin is revolutionizing the way that we diffuse essential oils. Get yours today.
