For thousands of years, aromatherapy has been recognized around the world as a safe, effective way to curb the symptoms of many disorders. Today, millions of people all over the U.S. are enthusiastic about aromatherapy and its many great benefits.
Now, thanks to the DaVinci Classic, Ascent and IQ vaporizers, conscientious consumers are getting familiar with a whole new way of enjoying the benefits of aromatherapy: Through vaping. You can vape herbs, or even essential oils, to enjoy their beneficial effects.
A Sophisticated New Take on Aromatherapy
For those who want to take aromatherapy to the next level, vaping can transform the entire experience. There are many attractive reasons to try vaping your favorite ingredients, but one thing stands out: You can typically vape the same herbs or oils you'd burn as part of conventional aromatherapy treatment.
Naturally, this isn’t always the case. Some of these ingredients can be very potent, so get familiar with your reaction to specific herbs and oils and have an understanding of how they affect you before you start vaping them.
Most importantly, the more pure your ingredients are, the better your results will be. To consider some therapeutic recipes, read on.

Depression
Depression makes it hard to concentrate on things, find the energy you need to engage in tough tasks, or improve your mood. Chamomile is well known as a mood balancer, so it helps you relax, get calm, and find a new perspective on things. Backed by green tea, you have the chance to feel a gentle and helpful boost without any jitters.

Anxiety
Anxiety causes all kinds of problems: racing thoughts, heart palpitations, hyperventilation, and many more. While aromatherapy can’t help during a full-blown panic attack, it’s great for regulating your mood so you don’t get into an anxiety spiral. It helps you relax both body and mind, so it can also be helpful for insomnia caused by anxiety.

Mood swings
Mood swings can strike anyone thanks to health, the weather, and more. As with some of the other recipes, a strong base of chamomile helps clear your mood. Damiana is soothing and relaxing and is known to be a great complement to rosemary, which has curiously invigorating and refreshing effects. It helps you recharge and reconnect with a more balanced mood in no time.
Sweet Dreams Recipe
A BLEND OF PEPPERMINT, LAVENDER AND PASSION FLOWER
What is this blend commonly used for?
Insomnia
Insomnia often starts with anxiety or sleep apnea – when breathing pauses during sleep. Sleep apnea, in turn, might be sparked by sinus woes. No matter the cause of the sleep disturbance, your aromatherapy solution should always start with peppermint, which promotes better breathing. Lavender and passion flower help calm muscle tension and nervousness.
Getting Started With Vape-aroma Therapy: A Quick Primer
DaVinci vaporizers give you the control you need to enjoy a smooth experience and truly enhance the benefits of your aromatherapy. Before you try it for the first time, be sure to get set up for enjoyment.
Take It Easy
Done right, aromatherapy requires only a pinch of herbs or a few drops of oil. That’s because the best ingredients are highly concentrated – they really pack a punch, so don’t start with too much. You can always add more thanks to the convenient, elegant design of your DaVinci.
Slow Temperature
Just like some of the most delicate, delectable foods, you don’t want to ruin your ingredients by putting them on a high heat. If the heat is up too far, you’ll lose the subtleties of the herbs or even destroy them entirely. It’s better to keep the temperature a little too low than too high; keep adjusting as needed until you get vapor.
Enjoy the Experience
The best way to enjoy vape aromatherapy is to take it nice and slow. Take shallow draws instead of deep ones. This will help you savor the flavor and will prevent the unwanted conversion of your smooth vapor into smoke. Once you’ve got it down, you’ll have a nice, clean experience.
