Breathe Better with Essential Oils
As the world is reopening and we are reconnecting, we are breathing a collective sigh of relief. But, breathing is easier for some of us than others!
Around this time of year my friends frequently complain of difficulty breathing, congestion, runny nose or coughing when the pollen and hay is flying. But don’t worry, there are oils to support you and ease that discomfort!
Don’t go camping or hiking without these easy-breathing favorites.
In fact, you’ll find them so helpful that you won’t ever want to be without them.
You can click into each oil if you’d like to purchase it, or scroll to the end of this post to grab a starter kit and get all 4 for free with your order in June 2021.
Here are my favorite essential oils to help you breathe deeper, and also to cool off as the temperature rises. Enjoy…
Breathe blend
This essential oil blend is formulated with cooling oils that support our respiratory wellbeing!
Use this is you get congested or find yourself with a summer bug, or if anyone in your household struggles with pollen sensitivities.
This is also helpful if you want to be able to support better breathing during sleep.
To use, just add 5-7 drops of Breathe to an essential oil diffuser.
doTERRA Breathe is a remarkable blend of essential oils including Laurel Leaf, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Melaleuca, Lemon, Cardamom, Ravintsara, and Ravensara.
You can also massage 3-5 drops of Breathe into your upper chest for breathing support.
Nothing feels better than cooling chest relief when you’re struggling to take deep breaths!
Breathe Touch Roller
This roller contains the same blend as the Breathe oil blend, but it is diluted with coconut oil to be gentler.
Breathe Touch is perfect for children, elders and anyone with sensitive skin.
To use, roll Breathe blend into the upper chest or onto the bottoms of the feet.
I use this when I’ve come down with a seasonal bug, and I recommend that you have this one by your bedside table for when you need it the most.
I also recommend this product often to moms in my natural community! It’s a great nontoxic solution to minor respiratory issues with kids.
If your little ones are congested, roll Breathe touch onto their spine, chest and the bottoms of their feet. A little bit goes a long way!
Breathe Drops
Breathe drops are natural throat drops and I highly recommend them for coughing, congestion and other minor little seasonal irritations.
I keep a few in my purse always and in my car for adventures…because it seems like I always reach for them!
Breathe drops have Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Lemon Oil, Peppermint Oil, Cardamom Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Thyme Oil, and Melissa Oil in them. They have a soothing cooling effect on the mouth and throat.
Peppermint
Oh, Peppermint! I could talk about this essential oil all day.
Peppermint is an extremely powerful tool for congestion and to cool off in the summer!
To ease congestion, apply a drop of Peppermint to the bridge of your nose and dab a drop under your nose. This should help clear your airways naturally! You can also diffuse Peppermint into your air for easy breathing.
To cool off in the summer heat, massage Peppermint into the back of your neck. This has a powerful cooling, soothing effect! Don’t go camping or hiking without it.
