Cold Oil Blend

12/30/2015

Sick DogSick as a dog...as the saying goes.
Cold and Flu season is here and in full swing.   I got a swift reminder on last week when I realized my 9 year old's cough and congestion wouldn't go away without medical intervention.  Boooo!  But it is what it is and we want the little fella to get and feel better.  

Well, between the beginning of that week and the time we got in to the doctor, I decided to help ease the tension in his nasal passages with an oil blend that helped when I was last stuffy.  Read on for a super easy oil blend that may bring you relief as well...

Ingredients...

10 Drops each of Essential Oils (Lavender, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Peppermint)
​

1oz Sweet Almond Oil or other carrier oil

Extras...

Oil Diffuser
(EarthFare has these really neat plug-in diffusers, though any will do.)

Equipment...

8 - 10 plastic pipettes

Metal/Glass/Plastic Measuring cup for mixing

​Brown/Blue glass jar or tube with airtight lid

Directions...

1.  Thoroughly mix all oils in your measuring cup.

2.  Transfer to a glass jar with airtight lid.  

3.  When ready to use, place a few drops on to your diffuser pad and breath deeply.

Alternate use:  

1.  Grab a hand towel and prepare a bowl or really hot water (hot enough to produce steam)

2.  Add several drops of Cold Oil to the water.

3.  Cover head with hand towel and lean over the bowl with your face just above the water (4 - 6").  Breathe deeply.
