Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi Sue, > Anyone know about Essential oils good for clearing a stuffed up nose, and chest congestion, cough. I've had a head and chest cold the last few days and have been diffusing a blend of Eucalyptus, Fir Needle, Rosemary, Oregano and Lemon. My aunt swears by steam inhalation of Cajeput whenever her sinusitis acts up, so you may want to try that too, if you have some handy.

I had a blend of Basil, Rosemary and Peppermint. I thought it was very helpful for my congestion. Plus, I swear by the neti pot. It is a sinus rinse. I highly recommend it to anyone with sinus issues. The combination of the neti and aromatherapy has saved me in the past!

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Sue, Something I've always used that work for my family is an electric essential oil diffuser. I drop 10-20 drops each of peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary, sage, and fir needle into the diffuser and let it waft through the bedrooms at night. It always seems to help everyone breathe a little easier. I also make a vapor rub using those same essential oils (with the addition of only about 5 drops of white camphor - camphor can be an irritant, so use it sparingly). Melt a cup of your favorite carrier oil with an ounce of beeswax until it is completely melted. Add the essential oils (if you want the exact number of drops, email me at jokrupinski @ and I will get you my recipe), and then pour into containers. This helps me through the winter ) Good luck! ~Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
