Relieve Sinus Pressure with Essential Oils

This winter has literally dragged on forever. Chicago has had snow on the ground since the first week of December--that's over 4 months straight of snow! On top of that, we've battled vicious winds and subzero temperatures like I've never experienced before. So basically, our family has spent a great deal of time indoors lately.

As much as I love a snuggly blanket with the heat cranked on a cold day, too much of that dry & stale air leads to sickness. I have personally been battling sinus congestion in many different forms since Thanksgiving. Nasal sprays and medicine only provide little relief, if any, and sadly the Neti Pot is just not doing the trick.

Enter my sweet yoga colleague, Sarah (check out her awesome blog, Sage and Sunshine) and her endless wisdom about the power of essential oils. She introduced me to this amazing blend of oils that is not only safe & natural, but works instantly.

Here's the recipe for the headache killer: 

• Oregano Essential Oil
• Lemon Essential Oil
• Peppermint Essential Oil
• Melaleuca (Tea Tree) Essential Oil

Combine 2 drops of each into a cup of boiling water and begin to inhale deeply through the nose. 

Really though, does it get any easier than that?! Here's a little more info on the oils and how they work:
