Unstopping my head

Sinus, Cold, Flu whatever the reason. When your head is all stopped up and you can't breath, here is what I do.




I set up a couple of essential oil diffusers around the house with
1 drop peppermint essential oil
3 drops lemon essential oil
3 drops rosemary essential oil
3 drops eucalyptus essential oil

to set up the diffuser, light the tea light in the bottom and fill the top with hot water, then add the oils. This recipe is an adaptation from a recipe in the book 'Aromatherapy, A lifetime guide to healing with essential oils' by Valerie Gennari Cooksley.




If your essential oils do not have a dropper insert in the neck of the bottle or an eyedropper type lid, you can use a clean straw to dispense drops out of the bottles, cutting off the end of the straw each time before moving on to the next oil, so as not to mix any from one bottle to another.
