Eucalyptus Steam Blend

Promote healthy breathing while also encouraging a healthy immune system.

This beautiful eucalyptus steam blend is so helpful for relieving sinus congestion. These essential oils work to reduce thick mucus congestion and inflammation, bringing welcome relief when experiencing a cold or flu!

Ingredients

10 drops of Siberian Fir Oil

10 drops of Ravintsara Oil

10 drops of Eucalyptus Dives Oil

Supplies

1 glass bottle with orifice reducer (5 ml)

Directions

STEP 1

Combine oils in a 5 ml glass bottle with orifice reducer. This undiluted combination of oils becomes your “stock bottle.”

STEP 2

Use one drop total from the stock bottle in a bowl of steaming water.

STEP 3

Place a towel over your head and the bowl, close your eyes and breathe. Be sure the water is not too hot and that your skin feels comfortable with the steam. I usually steam for about 5 - 10 minutes 1 - 2 times a day.

STEP 4

Great way to clear your head!

Safety and dilution

For asthmatics, we recommend gently smelling the caps of each oil before blending to ensure the oils do not cause any sensitivity.

Kid safety: Safe for kids over 10.

Pet safety: If using as a diffuser blend, ensure any pets have another space to go to if the aroma starts to bother them.

Shelf Life

The ingredient with the shortest shelf life remaining becomes the shelf life of the entire blend.
