I’ve been getting great feedback from folks about these. They’re by far the easiest and most economical way to use essential oils that I’ve ever tried. There are no carrier oils to dilute the therapeutic oils and the dispenser is small and lightweight, so you pay a minimum for diffusion.
Best of all, to my mind, is that these are totally personal, direct to the blood stream dispensers. You affect NOBODY but yourself when you use them, so even if the person sitting right next to you on the plane is allergic, it’s not a problem. And there are no oils, lotions or powders to soil clothing or irritate your own allergies.
The therapeutic properties of essential oils are well know, but I have no desire to have some FDA jackboot coming down on my neck for making illegal claims about what these blends can do for you.
So here’s the obligatory, keep the gummint off my doorstep, proviso … I chose the specific oils based on what experts in aromatherapy attest to their known therapeutic properties. I blended them with what I’ve learned about perfumery from research and experience. And I’ve tested them on myself and others.
Everybody’s body is unique. If you buy one and hate the aroma or it just does not work for you, I’ll refund your money and you can pass it on to someone else to try. (I suggest you swab down the tip with a bit of hydrogen peroxide first, just as a courtesy … seeing as you stuck it into your nose and all.)
I’m working on other blends. If you have a particular need, let me know. I provide free tester tubes of new blends in exchange for feedback about how well the blend is working for you.

The difference in prices is because the price of essential oils varies enormously. E.g., Eucalyptus costs one penny per drop; Jasmine costs fifty cents per drop! If you have questions or want to order, email Chrissy@ChrissyOriginals.com.

I’m gonna do a little commercial for Chrissy here, because I love these things. They’re ridiculously easy and convenient to use, small enough to fit in a purse or pocket, you can use them anywhere and anytime, and it’s impossible to overdose. My teenager (the allergy queen) and I both use them and we recommend them. 🙂

Thanks, Bob!
BTW, all y’all, I developed Breathe Easy Night for the allergy queen. She sometimes gets so stuffy in the night, it wakes her up. My Sinus blend has peppermint in it, which is stimulating, so not a good one for night time use.
In a very nice coinkydink, I have been unusually stuffy myself this year and am delighted at how well Breathe Easy Night works. Within moments of snorting a dose, I can feel the crud loosen and start running down my throat. (Sorry if that’s TMI.) There are no stimulants in the mix obviously. But Mandarin is actually a mild soporific, so it helps me drop back off to sleep. Sweet, huh?
RE: Sinus – My sinus headaches hurt and make me feel not just stuffed up, but also groggy and stupid, so that blend includes Plai for pain relief, Pine to open breathing and Peppermint to wake up the brain.

Oh, and thanks for the explanation of cost per drop. That helps in determining if a brand is using “cheap” ingredients.

Important tip: Real essential oils are much more expensive than fake “fragrances.” Read your labels.
If a product is using the real deal, it will say so, usually prominently and on the front label. If not, it’ll say “fragrances” in the small print on the back.
I believe there are no laws about the use of “aromatherapy” on labels, so garbage gets sold with that on the label but real aromatherapy is about how the molecules of essential oils interact chemically inside your body.
So real lavender is relaxing; fake lavender just smells sorta like lavender until you’ve smelled the real thing and then it doesn’t.
I’ve been told that fake “fragrances” are hydrocarbon derivatives, so more or less the same to your body as what comes out your exhaust pipe, just modified to smell nicer.

Another tip: If you’re buying a bottle of essential oils, read the label. If it is a good brand, it will give the full Latin name of the plant the oil is from. E.g., Eucalyptus globulus or Eucalyptus smithii. The former is the cheapest and most commonly available. The latter is more expensive, but has a milder aroma and is safer for children and the elderly. I only buy from people who appreciate my desire to know exactly what I’m putting in my body.
