Winter is that wonderful, snow-covered, magical time of year! It is also the time of year for colds, flu, and other respiratory illnesses, not so magical feeling anymore, huh? On the contrary, essential oils and medicinal herbs are not only an excellent support for your lungs and respiratory system, but they can, in many cases, provide instant relief, just like magic! A few of the essential oils (and certainly never the only) known best to support the lungs are eucalyptus, lemon, thyme, and peppermint. Each oil is powerful enough to be used individually or you can mix a few together, your preference, but always use a carrier oil and follow the recommended 2-3% dilution rates. For conditions involving the lungs, one of the best ways to use the oils is through inhalation, as it is the fastest delivery method. You may also use them in your diffuser or on your pulse points.
The lungs and respiratory system are one of those conditions that are near and dear to my heart. Several of my loved ones, and myself, suffer from various different lung conditions, so one of my very first blends had to be one to help keep us breathing and you can find here at Soul Life's Purpose. I love to use lemon or lemongrass as much as I can, so it's no surprise that you will find them in my custom blend "Just Keep Breathin'". Breathe in this refreshing, lemony-scented oil that contains lemongrass, thyme, eucalyptus, frankincense, lavender and ginger essential oils along with dried flowers, dried herbs and crystals that support the lungs to increase its power. I absolutely LOVE this blend and it's a truly uplifting scent, which provides a dual function by also supporting your emotional well-being, too!
