Your Favorite Aromatherapy Essential Oils

[MileHighLife]

I have always burned incense around the house but recently decided to kick that as that was the last thread tying me to combustion. I'm using my Underdog aromatherapy cup for the first time and all I have is cedar wood e.o. which smells great but I'm going to try some others in the near future. What's your favorite e.o. or e.o. blends to use in your vape's aromatherapy cup around the house?

My two favorites are lavender & sage.

Some fav combos:
-lavender & cinnamon
-sage & pine
-thyme & lavender

My absolute all time favorite is Sandal-Wood, sometimes I add a drop of Cedar-Wood too.

Definitely finding some sandal-wood oil... Love that smell!

Note:
I do find different oils leave different residues.
Cinnamon oil seems to leave a lot of sticky resin-y stuff behind :-/

Here's an addition to my Sandal Wood comment: make sure you find the proper stuff! Sandal wood oil is very expensive, and there are many fakes around. You want Santalum Album, Santalum Ellipticum or Santalum Spicatum (that's the one you'll probably find the most easiest these days) for the true effects.
Watch out for fakes!

SD-haze, if I use oils that leave much residue behind, I put them on some carrier material. For example, I fill some Sandal-Wood-chips into the cup and add some Sandal-Wood oil to that. Or cinnamon oil I use on cotton.

Wow sandalwood e.o. is spendy stuff. I definitely want to try that, lavender, sage
, tea tree and probably a few others.

i spray on essential oils like sandalwood or lemongrass or rose for deoderant.

I recommend NOW Foods as the quantity and price are normally very fair.

I normally am using Peppermint.
But cinnamon is very good, as is wintergreen.
I like to mix rosemary, lavender, or chamomile in with cinnamon or peppermint

Aura Cacia makes good blends but I find the prices of their 100% Pure Essential Oils to be too high for such a small amount.

Plus one for loving lavender - it's soooo relaxing! Others I also love and use regularly include ylang-ylang, jasmine (absolute), neroli, & frankincense.

Just reading this thread makes me anaphylactic

I want to learn how this would be different as to vaporizing cannabis. Is it truly a different feeling of 'relaxing'? Many resources tend to say lavender is capable of doing so. How would one go about using my these different types of vaporizable herbs and flowers? Maybe some sources of online vendors to suggest a few. I just want something different and noticeable in effects other than the good ol' mary jane. Don't get me wrong, I love subbin it but when the Herbalizer comes out, I might grab myself one and experiment on that exclusively with that device.

Hi @CG420 - I think you may find the following thread really informative:

I personally find lavender flowers are a very nice addition to an evening vape - very relaxing. I also love lavender oil for aromatherapy massage and for creating a lovely scent around my home
