Go Away Cough Inhaler

This woodsy, grounding inhaler blend is great to keep on hand when dealing with a stubborn cough.

This inhaler blend helps open up the airways and ease spastic coughing, bringing welcome support when experiencing a cold or flu.

Ingredients

7 drops of Larch Tamarack Oil

5 drops of Cypress Oil

2 drops of Cedarwood Oil

1 drop of Sandalwood Oil

Supplies

1 blank inhaler

Directions

STEP 1

Drop the essential oils onto the cotton wick of a blank inhaler, then place wick inside the inhaler.

STEP 2

Snap on the end cap, and unscrew the cover to inhale.

STEP 3

Inhale as often as needed.

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: For kids between the ages of 5 and 10, we recommend 1 drop sandalwood, 4 drops larch, 2 drops cypress, 1 drop cedarwood.

Shelf Life

2-6 months. If the aroma starts to lessen, feel free to add the same oils to the same cotton wick as a refresher, or use a new cotton wick. However, we do recommend changing out the entire inhaler after 1 year, or if changing blends.
