Homemade Inhaler


Homemade Inhaler
To a regular-mouth pint sized jar add the following (always start with the lowest amount of each oil, and work your way up if & as needed):
1-3 drops peppermint oil

1-3 drops clary sage oil

1-3 drops rosemary oil

3-6 drops eucalyptus oil

1-2 drops lavender oil (optional, but nice)
When you’re ready, add about a half cup of boiling water to your jar. Cup your hands around the top of the jar & put your mouth &/or nose to your hands. Breathe in the luscious & potent steam.
*Be careful not to burn yourself with the steam. Be sure to use immediately, as once it cools, it loses the desired effect.

Is this for people who have croup, or asthma? Have you tried it yet? Where do you buy your oils?

I dont know about croup or asthma but I would think it would be good for them.
I buy my oils from Brambelberry.

So, what do you use it for in your home? p.s. if you look on my blog, I put a link to the waffle irons in reply to you. :)

I have not used it yet but I wanted to have it for reference because occasionally my husband needs to use a nebulizer. I tend to like to use more natural and God made stuff so I thought next time he needs it we can try this instead of the albuterol meds.
Thanks for the waffle iron link, I will go look right now.
