Buyer beware.
I've a long history of sinus infections related to allergies, leading into bronchitis and vertigo. Since I've routinely used oils in the following manner, I've not had to take an antibiotic for any flare-up and they are much less frequent. I did also start allergy shots, so that seems to be helping.
At the first sign of sinus blockage, swollen glands and sinus headache, I mix a few drops of mixing oil, a couple of drops of the Thieves oil blend, and a couple of drops of Frankincense.
I put a drop on my finger and coat the inside of each nostril. After the first breath in, I may sneeze, so I apply it carefully. I also apply a few drops to my neck glands if they are swollen. If I'm really stuffed and staying home or going to bed, I coat the outside of my cheeks and nose. I've also applied the oil mix to my chest.
I get some immediate relief and in a matter of hours and have a significant decline in all symptoms. I may need to continue to do this frequently until symptoms have abated. This has been my life saver!
