Aromatherapy Tip of the Day
April 22, 2009
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, colds, sinusitis or headaches, essential oils can bring natural relief. Simply place 3 – 5 drops of essential oil on a tissue or handkerchief, hold it under your nose and then breathe deeply. Alternatively, just placing a small, open bottle of essential oil under your nose can have the same effect.
The following essential oils are among the top essential oils recommended for use for allergies, colds, sinusitis or headaches:
- Lavender: Lavender is perhaps the most versatile of all the essential oils. It can be used to relieve headaches and tension, bronchitis and laryngitis and can boost the immune system.
- Tea Tree: Tea Tree is wonderful to use for sinusitis, colds, coughs, allergies and it is anti-infectious, and anti-bacterial.
- Eucalyptus: Eucalyptus has anti-bacterial properties, it’s an expectorant, and can be used for colds, allergies, and sinusitis.
You should always consult with a medical professional before using essential oils for well being purposes and essential oils should not be ingested.
