Do doctors recommend diffusers?
That’s why essential oils should not be ingested. Johns hopkins also advises against using essential oil diffusers, small household appliances that create scented vapor. Diffusion in a public area or household with multiple members can affect people differently.
Are diffusers ok for lungs?
Avoid inhaling undiluted oils directly, as this can lead to irritation. Diffuser safely: if using a diffuser, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure that the space is well ventilated. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of essential oils is associated with negative heart issues and lung symptoms. Some essential oils such as eucalyptus, peppermint, and lavender are believed to have properties that may help with respiratory issues.
