Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


In our home we have a gas furnace which puts out very dry heat. It doesn't take long after the colder weather sets in to notice that several members of the family are walking around with stuffy noses.

We have had great success by taking 1 cup of distilled water, 1/4 tsp salt, 4 drops of Lavender essential oil, and 1 drop of Peppermint essential oil and mixing. Take a cotton swab or q-tip and dip it into the mixture. Swab the inside of the nose and within seconds we have been able to breathe easier and have sinus pressure alleviated!

I love that I have an alternative to the over-the-counter medications that have so many side effects!
