Methods of Applications as Mentioned in the Podcast:
1. Steam Inhalations: 1 drop of essential oil in a bowl of steamy hot water, 2-3 times/day, 5 min (note: I varied the oils with each inhalation)
- Spike Lavender (Lavendula latifolia), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis ct. camphor), Eucalyptus Dives (all three oils are mucolytic, expectorant)
- Tea Tree (decongestant, anti-infectious, expectorant)
2. Nightly Chest Rub with Jojoba Oil at a 3% dilution (15 drops to 1 oz ounce of Jojoba) (varying the oils I use)
- Spike Lavender (mucolytic, expectorant, and I love the smell)
- Balsam Copaiba (anti-inflammatory, calming and I find the aroma comforting)
- Black Pepper, Ginger (warming)
- Balsam Fir (strong antimicrobial, dries mucous, calming for a spastic cough)
- Thyme ct. linalol (immune system support)
- Basil ct linalol (antispasmodic for cough)
3. Pre-Bedtime Bath (10-20 drops in the tub right before I stepped in then soak for 30 minutes breathing in the steam)
