Want to learn more ways to use essential oils? Come to Aromahead Institute’s FREE online class, the Introduction to Essential Oils!

I’m Andrea with Aromahead Institute, and I want to show you how to use an essential oil steam when you have a cold.

This is actually a stock blend—a blend of essential oils you can make and use more than once. You can keep this blend next to your essential oil diffuser, or just reach for it when you feel yourself start to sniffle. It’s so nice to have a supportive blend of essential oils like this ready to hand! (You might not feel like making Aromatherapy blends when you’re sick . . .)

I have a 5 ml glass stock bottle, and I’m going to fill it with 3 ml of essential oils.

1 ml is approximately 25 drops of essential oil, so that means we’re using a total of 75 drops (3 ml x 25 drops = 75 drops).

I have to admit . . . I don’t want to count all those drops of essential oil! That’s why I’m using a graduated cylinder. It allows me to measure the essential oils by the ml.

The recipe is:

1 ml (25 drops) Tea Tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) (2:17)
1 ml (25 drops) Ravintsara essential oil (Cinnamomum camphora ct. 1,8 cineole) (2:48)
1 ml (25 drops) Black Spruce essential oil (Picea mariana) (3:34)

It’s okay if you accidentally get more than 25 drops of one of the oils in your stock blend. You’re only going to be using 1 drop of this blend at a time, so if the balance of oils isn’t exact, that’s okay.

At 4:04, I’m pouring my blend of oils into the 5 ml bottle, then tightening the cap. You can see how the orifice reducer top snaps into place. (4:33) This lets me get 1 drop of the essential oil blend out at a time.

4:56 – To do an essential oil steam with your stock blend, you’ll need a bowl of hot steamy water. Add 1 drop (just 1!) of your stock blend to the steamy water, then close your eyes, lean over the bowl, and inhale the warm nourishing steam. You can drape a towel over your head to concentrate the steam, if you like.

I suggest steaming for about one minute . . . and it helps if you have a box of tissues nearby (just a tip from one who knows!). Just close your eyes, sit, breathe, and relax. You can do this a couple of times a day. If you’re feeling sniffly or congested, I think this essential oil blend will really help you. Let me know how it goes!

Join me for Aromahead Institute’s online class, Aromatherapy for Natural Living, where you’ll learn more ways to use essential oils in your daily life.

This video is about how to use essential oils for a stuffy nose. This recipe is especially good for when kids feel sick—if they have the sniffles or a slight cough and you want to support them to feel better.

I’m making this blend in a 1 oz (30 ml) glass bottle, using jojoba wax as a base. Jojoba is often called an oil, but it’s actually a liquid wax. It makes a great base for essential oil blends, because it’s very gentle and nourishing for skin, and it doesn’t have much aroma—it lets the scent of the essential oils shine through.

Here’s the recipe:

1 oz (30 ml) jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) (1:18)
2 drops Elemi essential oil (Canarium luzonicum) (2:09)
1 drop Frankincense essential oil (Boswellia carterii) (2:48)
1 drop Myrrh essential oil (Commiphora myrrha) (3:15)
2 drops Cedarwood essential oil (Juniperus virginiana) (3:37)

Close the bottle, shake it gently, and then you can use the blend for kids who are at least five or six years old. Massage it into their upper chests and upper back to help break up congestion so they can breathe more easily.

This blend includes three essential oils distilled from resins: Elemi, Frankincense, and Myrrh. Essential oils distilled from resins are very supportive of the respiratory system, and are also gentle for skin. It also includes Cedarwood, one of my very favorite essential oils to use for kids! Cedarwood encourages clear breathing, and has a soft, soothing aroma that kids love.

There are several kinds of Cedarwood essential oil. I’m using Juniperus virginiana, but Cedrus atlantica would be a great choice, as well.

Enjoy your blend!

What is an essential oil?

I’ve been working with essential oils since 1998, and in this video I’m happy to answer your questions!

The short answer is . . .

An essential oil is a naturally occurring aromatic compound. These natural compounds are found in different parts of the plants.

In the video, I talk more about what an essential oil is, where essential oils come from, how essential oils are made, and more.

I also show you pictures of my visits to farmers and distillers and South Africa and Corsica, so you can get an idea of how the plants are grown and harvested, and how much plant material it takes to produce essential oil.
