Essential Oils for Respiratory Relief
Is it just us or does all the pollen in the air seem determined to prevent the flow of oxygen into your body?
I love to diffuse essential oils to help keep those nasal passages open. I often find myself sprinkling a few drops of essential oil onto the sidebar in the shower, right before turning on the hot steaming water. Deciding to make shower melts was just the next natural step. I love them so much!
I use my Breathe Free Essential Oil Blend, but any of these oils will help you out! These are not the only oils for respiratory use, but they are my favorites.

- Peppermint – Cooling. Clears the mind. Lifts the spirits. Wakes you up. Helps with fatigue. Purification. Consecration. Luck. Happiness. Love. Prosperity. Protection. Psychic development & growth. Release. Renewal. Transformation.
