Technical specifications

Instructions for use

1. Add water, essential oil, and rock salt to the tank (you can also use just one of these).
2. We recommend pure white Himalayan rock salt; standard (non-iodized) Himalayan crystal salt works too, but long-term use may stain the tank.
3. Dose according to the instructions: 1–2 drops of essential oil and 1 measuring spoon (0.5 ml) of salt per full tank.
4. Select operating time from the timer.
5. Always empty the tank completely before adding fresh water and salt/oil.

Please note

• Do not empty the tank from the air inlet side. If water accidentally enters the mechanism, let the device dry for at least two days before using it again.

• The device intentionally produces less visible mist than a standard diffuser, and the mist volume varies depending on the tank's fill level – this is normal.

• Pets: always ensure the essential oil is suitable for your pet before use. Cats are sensitive to many essential oils, and many dogs react sensitively to scents as well.

• The device warranty is void if it breaks due to careless use.

• The device is not a medical device.

Customer reviews

"Got mine yesterday and it purred almost the whole night in the bedroom. For the first time in a month I didn't wake up during the night coughing and with a mouth dry as the Sahara after sleeping open-mouthed! And even my super skeptical husband went quiet for a moment when I told him in the morning that he hadn't snored once during the night. Testing it out a bit more and then ordering one for the kids' room too!" – Emmi Oksanen

"We've been using it for a bit over a year, almost every night. It really helps during this winter season with dry indoor air and the dry throat it causes in the morning. Our colds have also almost disappeared, and if someone happens to catch one, this device helps the kids sleep well through the night as their nose stays open and coughing isn't as bad as before. The duration of the flu is also much shorter. No need to use nasal sprays at all anymore. Highly recommend especially for families with kids!" – Jenni Heiska

"A couple of weeks ago I caught a proper flu for the first time in a long while; my throat was sore and my nose was completely blocked. The first night felt like I had a cactus in my throat—so dry and scratchy. Sleeping was impossible and I stayed awake almost the whole night. The diffuser my wife bought was running that night in the kids' room, where there were still remnants of a cold. My attitude toward the whole device had been very skeptical, even though I had already seen how it helped the kids sleep. The next night I was ready to try it myself (to prove my skepticism right, that is) and the device appeared on my nightstand in the evening fully ready to go. Still skeptical, I closed my eyes and to my surprise, I only woke up to my alarm clock the next morning. My throat wasn't dry during the night and I could breathe through my nose despite the flu. The flu wasn't gone by any means, but it relieved the symptoms considerably. I have to admit it: It wasn't my wife's silly purchase after all, it actually works! Pollen season is starting too, so the gadget is staying in our bedroom!" – Mikko Aaltonen

"I have been using the Salt Aroom salt-aroma diffuser for under a year and fell in love with it immediately. I have asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Right from the first night, I slept without nighttime coughing fits, and there has been no need to use my reliever medication at night. My sleep has been much more restful. I sometimes use the device during the day too, for example while reading or doing anything else. When I have a cold, it's great to put it next to me to 'puff away', making breathing considerably easier. Plus, you get a mild, fresh scent in the room air. A lovely little machine, indeed." – Marika Kilpinen, Loimaa

"The kids have been sick with a cold, and nights especially have been really hard due to severe coughing. I borrowed a Salt Aroom diffuser and set it up for the night in the children's room. The night went better right away—one of the kids coughed significantly less than previous nights, and the other didn't cough at all! Will definitely get my own diffuser now. It will surely help with my own dry nasal mucous membranes too!" – Suvi Kumpulainen

"We have been using the Salt Aroom salt diffuser for a few weeks now and managed to ease Miko's congestion. Miko, who is in daycare, has been sick a lot, and it feels like the congestion and cough are constant. Dry, mechanical ventilation and freezing temperatures have made it even harder. The diffuser clearly helps, and nights are much easier now. Coughing is reduced and oxygen flows through the nose too. No nasal sprays needed now. Such a wonderful gadget!" – Mira

"What a help this has been in easing congestion during the kids' sleep! We've been sick all autumn and winter with plenty of broken sleep! Both of us parents were so tired, trying to work at the same time. Before Christmas we got a salt diffuser for the kids' room and gosh, what a help! It relieves congestion really well and nighttime coughing has been much less frequent. We think the steady, quiet hum of the device also calms the children. We can't praise and recommend this enough to anyone struggling with the same issue!" – Emmi Vainio

"Not a single nosebleed all autumn/winter despite numerous colds! Thanks to the salt diffuser! Our 8-year-old girl previously suffered from frequent nosebleeds during colds. Now we've used the diffuser every night in her room since autumn, resulting in 0 nosebleeds. A pretty good result, as autumn has included proper COVID-19, adenovirus, influenza, and other milder cold bugs. And we haven't had to use a single drop of decongestant nasal sprays, etc. Regular use has also clearly helped her atopic skin." – Saana P., Helsinki

"Unfortunately, the salt-aroma diffuser had to prove its real capabilities once again. Christmas holidays spent in the grip of the flu, and thanks to the diffuser, I slept much better at night. Slept through nights with the Salt Aroom and inhaled Saltpower during the day. Thank you salt therapy, you bring so much relief to symptoms!" – Kati T., Aura

"The diffuser has been the savior of our nights. We said goodbye to dry noses, as well as coughing. The scents are a lovely addition, and we have them in all varieties. Our favorite is mandarin. I'll never give up this device! Scents, salts, etc. can be conveniently ordered from Tuisa all the way here to Ostrobothnia too." – Hanna-Riikka

"My trusted partner for the flu season is starting its night shift again to secure better sleep for the whole family! We couldn't manage without it anymore! A huge help for congested noses and dry mucous membranes." – Jonna K., Southwest Finland

"Bought the salt-aroma diffuser at the I Love Me fair, and I'm already very convinced. Oxygen flows through the nose while sleeping, my mouth doesn't dry out at night anymore, and apparently I don't snore the same way either! The device itself is also beautiful and brings nice ambiance home. So it kept its promises!" – Päivi M., Espoo

"That feeling when oxygen flows through your nose at night too! Salt inhalation has helped our whole family with flu-induced congestion as well as allergy symptoms. During dry freezing and heating seasons, the diffuser also nicely humidifies indoor air. A small investment compared to the benefits it brings! Considering buying a second device!" – Mari P.

"I noticed that our dog was completely relaxed when there was lavender mixed in with the salt in the diffuser. He didn't react when I went to the kitchen or even when my husband came in from the living room.. Then, when we tried to take the dog out of the bedroom, he immediately wanted back in. We've used 1 drop of oil and 1 ml of salt in three deciliters of water and kept it on in the dog's presence for a maximum of one hour."

"Mom, this helped me! My nose wasn't blocked at night and I didn't cough until morning! I slept well and didn't need to put sprays in my nose!" – Eevi, 8 yo, Aura

"The diffuser has been a great help especially during the heating season, when I suffer from dry mucous membranes and the resulting congestion and nosebleeds. It also feels like I don't need to moisturize my skin as much or as often." – Laura P., Lohja

"Two days of using the diffuser and no sign of nasal congestion anymore! A really worthwhile purchase!" – Päivi Lujala

"Unbelievable! My daughter has had this device for just one night and oxygen flows through her nose! No need for nasal sprays at all, and her sinuses don't feel bad anymore. They were ultrasound-scanned yesterday and found to be completely swollen and her nose totally blocked. Looks like I bought that nasal spray for nothing!" – Katri K.

"Personally, I was very skeptical about how well the device would work for asthma, but the nighttime cough and general congestion that had been bothering me for months cleared up right away. I had previously used an evaporative humidifier, so the indoor air wasn't even dry. The salt was clearly the decisive factor here. And for the child, using the device was easily sold thanks to the cool light." – Susanna
