MAKE YOUR OWN “BREATHE JAR” FOR SINUS CONGESTION

This Breathe Jar will help you relieve your sinus congestion. Check out the article we found over at One Good Thing on how to make your own breathe jar.

All you need to make your own BREATHE JAR is……a jar (duh)….a few cotton balls….and some essential oils.

How To Make A “BREATHE JAR”

Place 1 to 3 cotton balls in a small jar (you’ll want to use a container that will fit over your nose.)

Next, add the following essential oils, dripping them directly onto the cotton balls.

• 15 drops Oregano
• 15 drops Melaleuca
• 15 drops Peppermint
• 15 drops Lemon

Cover with tight-fitting lid.

I decided to use a small 4 ounce mason jar. If you use a smaller jar, just use less cotton balls.

For example, my sister used a 1 ounce glass jar and added one cotton pad. Those work too.

How To Use:

When sinus pain or congestion hits, open the cup, place it over your nose and and inhale S L O W and D E E P. If your jar is big enough you can also place it over your nose AND mouth, and the heat from your breath will help produce vapors from the oils and heighten the decongestant effects.

Replace lid securely. Repeat as needed. Because essential oils do not stay in your system for long periods, you can use your BREATHE JAR as often as necessary to help keep your congestion under control. Some people have even said it helps with a cough too.

Keep in a cool dry place. If the scent starts to fade, add a few more drops of essential oil to bring it back to full strength.

I think you will be amazed at how well this natural remedy works!  Besides, it’s a WHOLE LOT BETTER than this…..
