There are many actions you can take to soothe your respiratory system when irritation occurs.
Anti-inflammatory essential oils – eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, clove, and ginger – not only smell good, but they also alleviate inflammation in your respiratory pathways.
Here are a few ways to take advantage of essential oils to help you breathe more clearly:
Put one or two drops on your mask, being careful not to overdo it. Too much will make your eyes water but one or two is refreshing
Rub some peppermint and/or eucalyptus essential oils onto your chest for a natural vapor rub that can ease your breathing as you sleep
Place a few drops of your preferred combination of anti-inflammatory oils in a bowl of hot water, use a dishcloth tent over your head, and inhale deeply for a quick, refreshing steam thot opens your sinuses
Include essential oils in your shower or bath ritual for a refreshing and invigorating treat
