Essential oils to relieve congestion

The most powerful way to make use of essential oils to relieve a packed nose is through inhaling. There are a lot of ways by which you can inhale the oils.

Steam inhaling

  • Add three to seven drops of the essential oil to a bowl full of hot water to create a therapeutic steam.
  • Cover your head with a towel.
  • Now breathe in and out through your nose for two minutes.
  • Make sure to keep your eyes shut to prevent irritation.

Direct inhaling

Direct inhaling is about breathing in the oil straight from its bottle. Apart from it, you can also add a drop of the essential oil to a napkin, or cotton, to inhale.

Through diffusers

Aroma diffusers are very common these days, they can disperse the essential oils throughout the air. However, this dilutes the oil in the air before you can inhale it.

Aroma bath

Aroma bath is also a good option. All you have to do is add a few drops of diluted essential oil to the water you are bathing in.
