We're "EO" people! Essential oils became my go-to when I was limited in the types of medications I could take for sinus congestion while pregnant. I relied on peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender to get me through! (Thank you office buddies for letting me smell up the place.)
Recent stuffy noses have caused us to research essential oils a little deeper. We'd both heard of thieves as being helpful for sinus issues. So off hubby went to the grocery store to find thieves. The mystery oil that could solve our problems. When he came up empty, we did what most people do - we asked google. Surprise! Thieves isn't one oil, its several essential oils mixed together. Who knew? We didn't. The legendary history of thieves is believed to date back to the bubonic plague, where doctors and robbers used it. It's pretty interesting. You can check it out here. THIEVES RECIPE 8 drops clove 7 drops lemon 4 drops cinnamon 3 drops eucalyptus 2 drops rosemary HOW TO USE THIEVES -Put oil mixture in water in diffuser and enjoy -Use carrier oil (such as almond) and apply a few drops to feet and cover with socks. -Add baking soda or water to oil mixture and use as household cleaner BENEFITS OF THIEVES: Promotes healthy immune function Natural alternative all-purpose cleaner Clean scent, or in my opinion, smells like Christmas What's your favorite EO?
