Blends for Taurus and Autumn using Cypress, Rose and Vetiver

Apr012024

 

As we head towards winter, it's time to give our bodies a boost, mentally and physically. 
I don't know about you, however the colder weather makes my chest feel tight - it's not asthma, however it can feel like an asthma attack is coming.  Cypress essential oil is great for relaxing this tightening of the airways, and we only need a smidgeon for it to be effective.

You may have read my information on which essential oils to use with which ages and wondering why I'm using cypress with children... my son Kyle who has brittle asthma and reacts to ventolin, used to radiate towards it more than any other eo in my collection from the age of 2.  So I used to put a drop in my diffuser for him and he would sleep better at night. 

The blends I'm going to add below can be added to a diffuser, sniffy stick, a massage oil or a balm/cream/ointment.

 

I love Sniffy Sticks as they are easy to carry around in your bag, and your kids can take them to school or carry them in their pocket because they're not glass like a rollon.

 

How best to use them?

Blend essential oils in blending bottle and add drops to one end of the cotton wick as per recommendations below and seal in tube.

Insert inhaler gently in nostril, and press finger against other nostril to close it.

Inhale gently, then swap sides and repeat.

Use 2-4 times a day.

Stop using if headaches occur!
