Here is an essential oil recipe rips for this time of year - use it when you feel the onset of a cold or use it for a cough. 

  • Eucalyptus – 8 drops
  • Hyssop – 4 drops
  • Lemon - 6 drops
  • Tea Tree - 4 drops
  • Place in a bowl of steaming water so essential oils can be released in the air - or place in a warm bath.

    Note - if you have a persistent cough or think your cough is serious, see a doctor.

    The Aromatherapy for Health blog just posted an essential oil blend to help calm children at bedtime.  This aromatherapy recipe is meant for diffusion, which is a method of releasing scents into the air.

    Since it is a recipe for children, I want to point out that it is a good idea to use caution and make sure the kids don’t intake any of the oils - especially since many children are quite allergic to chamomile.
