CPAPs and Good Smells
The sense of smell is one of the most acute senses in all of human nature and is so connected to the emotional part of our brains (the limbic system) that our reaction to smell is typically emotional and psychological, not logical. The olfactory sense is much sharper than people realize. Most people can comprehend and identify over 10,000 different scents.
Pleasant smells induce strong feelings of calm, comfort, and relaxation. The sense of smell is part of the brain's emotional centers and cognitive distraction (the ability to exclude other distracting stimuli) is an important feature of human olfaction. Unlike the other primary senses, smell is a chemical sense. Detection of given aromatic molecules initiates a cascade of physiological and emotional responses that occur whether or not the person is conscious of the presence of any smell. Whether people consciously recognize it or not, the sense of smell works against their CPAP therapy. Research has proven that even very small amounts of plastic compounds, even below conscious detection levels, such as vinyl chloride and styrene (and others emitted by all CPAP equipment) result in high levels of stress, irritation, and anxiety.
CPAP Irritations and Restless Sleep
Have you ever felt claustrophobic using your CPAP machine? Have you ever had a bad smell coming through your CPAP machine? Does your CPAP smell like a shower curtain? Do you want to relax more as you are falling asleep? Have you ever tried to put something in the distilled water of your humidifier chamber only to have it ruin the chamber or not work right for you? If so then Pur-Sleep may be the product for you.

Essential Oil Dispensing:
To use essential oils, twist open the cap, place one pad (either side) on top of the bottle and while holding it firmly in place quickly invert the bottle/pad and return it to its upright position. A quick shake might also do the trick. Test for strength. Repeat as desired. Replace the cap tightly and store out of direct sunlight and away from heat.
Store scented pads in small zip-lock bags. Write the name of the aroma on the bag and re-use the same pads with the same aroma. It is not necessary to wash the pads but they may be hand washed and air dried as desired.

Pur-Sleep
Sean Mac – January 26, 2012
"After I got the package I was overwhelmed by the scents all at once. I wasn't expecting them to be so potient in the box. At first I was a little worried that any individual scent was going to be as powerful. But after following the directions I found that 2 drops is potient enough for my cpap and it's been some of the MOST RESTFUL SLEEP I've had since I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea. I recomend these aroma therapy oils for anyone on cpap who has had any problems sleeping."

Essential oils are derived from botanical elements (citrus, leaves, flowers, herbs, etc.) through a simple distillation technique. Pur-Sleep only uses therapeutic-grade highest quality 100% pure essential oils. All of the essential oils used in the Pur-Sleep are disclosed on the label. Pur-Sleep uses only those essential oils that are listed on the “Generally Recognized as Safe†for human consumption (“GRASâ€) list maintained by the FDA.
Please do not use this product if you have concerns about possible allergic reactions or other effects from exposure to essential oils. While the essential oils are safe for human consumption, they are pure and undiluted and might cause irritation when applied directly to the skin or mucous membranes. It is strongly advised to keep essential oils out of the reach of children and please avoid all direct contact with eyes and mucous membranes. You should wash off essential oils with warm, soapy water.
How Much Essential Oil Should I Use?
The perception of smells varies widely among various people. It is strongly advised starting with simply one drop of the essential oil and then adding a few more if needed to suit your personal preferences. With these essential oils, the rule "less is more" is applicable. Do not use more than 5 drops.
Is It Safe To Use Essential Oils All Night?
Indeed. People quickly become acclimated to the scents and research has shown that the olfactory sense basically turns off while you are asleep. You will smell the pleasant aroma when you need it the most; while relaxing and falling asleep and also again when you awaken. Remember, we are talking about extremely small quantities of aromatics (a little goes a long way) and all of the essential oils used in the Pur-Sleep are considered safe for human consumption by the FDA.
Can I Use Cotton Balls?
It is highly advised that you do not use any other materials besides the Pur-Sleep Diffusion Pads, which are specifically engineered for use in the diffuser. There is a risk that any other materials may become dislodged or cause problems and the rates of diffusion could also differ if other materials are used.
Can I Re-Use the Diffusion Pads?
The Pur-Sleep Diffusion Pads are made of durable fabrics and may be hand-washed and re-used. Simply wash with a mild detergent, rinse well, and air dry.
Are these Products Approved by the FDA?
The Pur-Sleep products are not medications nor are they medical devices. They are considered "cosmetics" under the US Federal Food and Drug Act and related regulations. While there is certainly evidence that some essential oils might have a therapeutic value (for instance lavender oil potentially improving deep sleep), essential oils used for their aromatic qualities are regulated by the FDA as cosmetics. The Pur-Sleep products and are in full compliance with FDA laws and regulations pertaining to cosmetics.
Can aromatherapy work with my APAP, VPAP, BiLevel?
This product is compatible with all CPAP and BIPAP machines. The Pur-Sleep System releases a minute amount of fragrance into the air prior to being taken into your CPAP/BIPAP machine. Place the diffuser near the air-intake and turn your machine on.
What are the differences between Essential Oils and Air Candy Oils?
All of the AirCandy line are high-quality synthetic fragrances. These scents are different from the natural form; for example, the Essential Oils "Creme" is 100% authentic vanilla aromatic derived from real vanilla beans (that's why it's black in color) while the AirCandy "French Vanilla" is a high-quality artificial vanilla. The artificial vanilla is much more common in everyday life. AirCandy products are NOT essential oils; rather, they are very high quality, common fragrances that most people seem to enjoy quite a bit.

What does "Crème" smell like?
Vanilla, one of the most highly prized and expensive aromatics in the world, is derived from the only fruiting variety of the orchid flower. The deep trumpet-shaped flowers must be pollinated by hand, dried, and cured, to become a beautifully fragrant brown vanilla bean which is then carefully distilled, resulting in the 100% all natural vanilla essential oil used in “Crèmeâ€. A few drops go a long way. It also blends very well with many of the other scents, including “Spiceâ€, “Freshâ€, and “Clearâ€.
This all-natural vanilla is an extremely complicated formula made with several hundred different compounds and includes a small amount of food-grade alcohol as a solvent. Synthetic vanillin typically used in cooking, which is derived from phenol, should not to be confused with “Crèmeâ€.
