For Cough and Croup

Sinus Congestion due to Allergies
This blend is used by both Al and Penny. We use it especially after we have been outdoors in the spring time when all the trees are blooming, but we also use it after we have been to restaurants where they still allow smoking. We can’t tolerate cigarette smoke – or should I say, our sinuses can’t!

Blend the following in an amber bottle

• Peppermint – 5 drops
• Roman Chamomile – 5 drops
• Rosemary – 5 drops

Then apply several drops inside a Personal Nasal inhaler . Reassemble the inhaler and then place near your nostrils, Inhale a couple of times in each nostril.

This will help to relieve the pressure, open the airways and the chamomile may be helpful to stop other allergy type reactions.
