DIFFUSER BLEND AND COMPRESS

Breathe Easier (from Eucalyptus smithii monograph)

• Rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis: 8 drops

• Lavandin Lavandula intermedia oil: 8 drops

• Eucalyptus smithii oil: 5 drops

• Tea tree Australia Melaleuca alternifolia oil: 5 drops

• Peppermint Mentha ×piperita oil: 4 drops

FOR INHALATION

Drop the oils into a bowl of hot water and mix. Place the bowl close to a heat source (a radiator, heater, or fireplace will work well) or in a diffusor. This formula can also be dropped onto cotton balls and placed between the pillow and pillow cover.

FOR COMPRESS

Drop the oils into a bowl of hot water and mix. Soak a washcloth in the bowl, wring it out, and place it over the chest as a warm compress.

NOTE: Do not use with young children (i.e., children younger than two), as both camphor and 1,8 cineole can be toxic for young children if inhaled. 1,8 cineole has been reported to cause serious poisoning in young children when accidentally instilled into the nose. Even for a child older than two, use this formula with extreme care.
