My daughter came back home with runny nose and a cough after a sleepover. Essential oils to the rescue!
Essential oils used:
Organic Tea tree - a powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal.
Organic Peppermint - clears respiratory tract. It also cooling to combat the effects of weather in this hot and humid season.
Organic Lavender - a mild antibacterial and antifungal, that also relaxes and soothes the body of a good night's sleep. Sleep also promotes healing.
Organic Rosemary - it's penetrating vapors clear the airways and is a powerful decongestant.
I used Organic Argan Oil as carrier. Organic Argan Oil goes on really smooth! Ideal for massage, especially for children.
My recipe:
2 ml (40 drops) Organic Argan Oil
2 drops Organic Tea tree Oil
5 drops Organic Lavender Oil
2 drops Organic Peppermint Oil (omit in winter, use 1 drop of Organic Clove Bud Oil instead)
3 drops Organic Rosemary Oil
Mix well. Massage on chest, throat, back, and soles of the feet. Your child will suddenly get a lot of mucus discharge (due to Rosemary Oil's decongestant effect) so get a box of tissue handy. After this, your child will sleep so well.
