I could seriously write a book when it comes to essential oils and sinus problems. We are only going to touch on a few in this post and touch on a few more at a later date. Let’s get you through cold and flu season!
Sinusitis tis the season to suffer! I love a good steam inhalation for sinusitis, seems to soothe the sinus cavities that become inflamed with sinusitis.
2 Drops Thyme Oil
3 Drops Peppermint Oil
3 Drops Rosemary Oil
2 Drops Eucalyptus Oil
3 Drops Peppermint Oil
3 Drops Rosemary Oil
2 Drops Eucalyptus Oil
If you don’t have a diffuser, that’s okay you can use a vaporizer or a humidifier I just suggest adding a good antibacterial essential oil, such as lemon. But remember these devices are much bigger so you will want to use more essential oils.
Stuffy Noses
Take a long hot bath, on a sponge simply place about 10 drops of one or a combo of these essential oils lavender, peppermint, cinnamon, tea tree, eucalyptus, and juniper. Be careful with the amount of peppermint you use, stay under a few drops at it has the effect of leaving you to feel cold in a hot bath.
More Essential Oil
Menthol essential oils help soothe and open up sinus cavities.
Lemon essential oil is a great antibacterial, helps with anti-inflammatory which helps with sinusitis.
Frankincense essential oil helps relax the lungs and all around helps improve breathing.
Clove essential oil helps to combat sinus congestion and includes antimicrobial properties.
