No, you should not put essential oils in a CPAP. Essential oils can damage the machine and its components, and they can also be harmful to your health.

CPAP machines are designed to deliver a precise amount of pressurized air to your airway. When essential oils are added to the machine, they can disrupt the flow of air and cause the machine to malfunction. In some cases, this can even lead to serious injuries.

In addition, essential oils can be harmful to your health when inhaled. They can irritate your airways and lungs, and they can also cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea.

If you are looking for a way to enjoy the benefits of essential oils while using your CPAP, there are safe and effective ways to do so. You can use a diffuser to add essential oils to the air in your bedroom, or you can apply them topically to your skin.

It is important to talk to your doctor before using essential oils, especially if you have any health conditions.
