Very interesting to read you
Good luck to you

Hi Suzanne,

There is no FDA or Health Canada confirmed research correlating inhaling essential oils to negative effects in the lungs. We are conducting our own research on this matter so that we’ll be able to directly address this question in the future!

However, when using FÜM we recommend just breathing in through your mouth and out through your nose, without inhaling directly into your lungs. Your olfactory system found in our mouth and nasal cavity are perfectly capable of soaking up all the beneficial nutrients from Essential Oils. If using your own blends on our Blank Cores, it’s very important that you only use quality “pure” essential oils and always follow the recommendations on the bottle.

Hi! Is it safe to inhale the peppermint oil in your lungs and then exhale

Hi Emily,

There has not been any known cases/studies that are linked to negative buildup in the bloodstream or the lungs.

Hi Whitney,

Thanks so much for asking. In terms of how often can you use it. You can use it throughout the day as needed. Our product is a no heat, no vape all natural product. We always recommend checking in with your family doctor when it comes to using Essential Oils to treat medical conditions.

Is this known to negatively effect the lungs or bloodstream by building up a residue?

How often can you use it? Like can I use it back to back with different oils? How hot do these get in degrees of Fahrenheit? And although you can’t treat, diagnose, or cure anything…..do you have a “recommended” asthma blend?

What is the rough lifespan of the core – how many puffs can it take? Additionally, how many drops of essential oils do you recommend adding to a plain core?

I didn’t see an answer to this question: Do you inhale into your lungs or simply in through your mouth and out through your nose?

Hi Peggy,

Thank you for reaching out! To remove the Core, blow through the mouthpiece, this should pop it out easily. If it is very stuck, you can gently tap it on a table to loosen it, then blow through the mouthpiece. An alternate method is to use a wooden skewer and push it out.

Hi DOUG,

You can use your FUM as much as you like throughout the day.

Several questions on how/when to use the FUM. 1) During a session, how many breathes should you do? 2) Are there specific times/situations that you should do a session? 3) How often should you do a session?

How do you get the cores out?

Hi Gina,
We recommend verifying the safety of inhalation for every oil you use in your FUM. Typically, CBD oil is intended for ingestion, not inhalation, but you can check with the oil company directly about the safety of inhaling the specific oil.

Hi Nichole and Megan,
We are not medical professionals and in no way claim to be experts in that field. We always recommend checking in with your doctor or finding a certified aromatherapist. Thanks for asking though.

Can you use this with CBD oil ?

My dad had a heart attack almost 3 months ago and quit smoking cold turkey the day he went in to the hospital. He hasn’t picked up a cigarette since but is struggling with not having anything for his hands to do while he’s sitting outside with his cup if tea. It stresses him out, which he doesnt need. I feel like he would benefit from using one of these. Are they safe for someone who is on a wide variety of medications for heart disease?

Interested in more info. I have a friend who suffers greatly from serious asthma. Wondering if this would be good for her. I am a sr star with young living 😊

Does Young Living know this????

sarah we never ever ship out used Füms to our customers. One reason that your Füm might have a peppery smell is that our Füm is finished with food-safe mineral oil and it is very likely that your Füm still holds a bit of its pleasant scent. If you are still worried, feel free to contact us at connectbreathefum.com and we will be more than happy to help out.

Do you ever ship previously used/purchased Fums (the wooden part) to customers? Mine definitely smells/tastes like essential oil, most likely a blend with black pepper from what I can discern. A savory, almost food-like herbal scent. It’s stronger at the “far” end that you don’t put into your mouth. Are these supposed to have a heavy scent/flavor when empty? It looks fine, but I’m concerned.

Hello … I would be very interested in learning more. Could you please send me a link to the studies that show your product is safe to use as described ?

Thanks
Carrie Mae

Hey @Stephanie @Esther @Shannon @Payge @Shauna
You all had asked about Cores. Cores typically last 1 – 2 days depending on how often they’re used through out the day. After these initial 1 – 2 days you can add more essential oil onto the Core. Keep in mind that a Core will eventually need to be replaced with a new one after some time.

@Ali you can clean the inside of your Füm before using a new Core if you would like to. Although it is not necessary.

@izzy you can use your own essential oil with the blank cores available on our website! We recommend only using high quality, pure, 100% therapeutic essential oils with your Füm.
