Thanks for the Video! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Saankramer Top Achiever System (just google it)? It is a great one off product for getting rid of your Nasal Polyps naturally minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my old buddy Taylor got astronomical success with it.
I am doing this right now! I have been suffering from a head cold for 6 days and taking over the counter cold meds that just are not cutting it. So glad that I found your video. I had the oils in my cabinet for soap making the whole time. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video I had the eucalyptus and the tea tree oil It worked I've been in pain the entire day. I have allergies that cause sinus issues unfortunately. New subscriber God Bless you for this video.
Ohhhh wowzerz! Perfect timing for this video....I have been miserable for two days with cold/allergies. I did this magic potion and within 5 minutes I could breathe again!!! My next step was going to be some yucky pill. Thank you Andrea ♡
Dear Andrea: i watched your video and reminded of my grandma great homemade remedies when i was a kid....!!! It was really good because i was checking for a recipie for sinnus congestion and snizzing for my teenager son. Love
Hello! Essential oils are wonderful for preventing and helping colds and the flu! We have a ton of posts on our blog and videos on our TH-cam with blends, here are a few other recipes that are recommended: -Woodsy Chest & Cold Cream with Cedarwood Essential Oil - th-cam.com/video/ec3Wi9Ti1wk/w-d-xo.html -How an Essential Oil Steam Can Help A Cold - th-cam.com/video/LB8ucwzYQPI/w-d-xo.html -Pinon Pine’s Minus the Sinus Headache Inhaler: th-cam.com/video/44x-H-ginC4/w-d-xo.html 💜
Thanks again, Andrea! I made this one up with cedarwood instead of cypress purposely since my sinuses are dried out and inflamed from the over the counter meds. I really wanted to stop taking them and all that's left from my cold is sinus pressure and pain. After two deep inhales( I made up the inhaler first), the pain is going away already! I'm very delicate with my sinus passages since I'm a sensitive person with all chemicals.
This video does help. Thanks! When I was a kid, in Africa, my mom used to collect eucalyptus leaves, from behind our house, then she wouldn't put them in really hot water; she would cover me with a clean bedsheet. Guess what! Your fever would be gone shortly! So, picture your nose and pores cleared by the steam after sweating! No more fever, no clogged nose, no nothing. Enjoy your day!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful childhood experience with your mother using fresh Eucalyptus leaves! We love that! Doing a steam with just 1 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil can help to open up the sinuses and support healthy breathing. We'd love to hear how it goes if you try it! 💜
Eucalyptus oil is best in your room diffuser they give good relief from colds but use organic essential oil which will be safe and effective Anveya essential oils are amazing
Andrea, I really appreciate your video's, in fact love them all!! Wanted to share this with you, took your above blend and used a cigar glass vial with cork top and add some drops of the blend to very course sea salt so I can breath right from the vial or add to steaming water since the sea salt can be an added plus for sinus relief.
My lingual tonsils suck really bad. It's so hidden. I only knew it's problematic after I got a laryngoscopy from my ENT. Because of the lingual tonsils behind the base of my tongue, I have been feeling a lumpiness at the back of my throat as well as constant phlegm/mucus for the past 4 months it's so irritating. I've seen online how rare this lingual tonsil problems are and how having it removed is the worst idea ever (I saw many problem online never recovering) so I definitely hope this eucalyptus oil will help!
Hello mam! I have a quick question! I have been suffering with blocked sinuses for years(thick brick like mucus) and am planning to use eucalyptus oil to get relief. I heard this is a very good one for congestion. Do you think this alone will be effective for treating sinus issue? Lastly, how do you dispose the water with oils in it? Can we just pour down any sink without any issues? Thank you! I loved your video!
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) would be an excellent oil to use to help with relief from sinus congestion using a steam! Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) and Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) would be great to add with it. Here's a link to the show notes for this video which include the full recipe, if you want to give that a try: info.aromahead.com/show-notes-sinus-relief-steam After using a steam, you can safely pour the water with essential oils down the drain. Hope this helps! 💜
That's a great question, Haley! A blend’s shelf life is determined by the ingredient with the shortest shelf life. All essential oils eventually oxidize and therefore "expire". Heat, light and oxygen slowly cause oxidation. Some oxidize over a year or two, some can last for 5 or more years, and some last even longer than that. Here’s more information from Robert Tisserand: roberttisserand.com/2013/07/lemon-on-the-rockskeep-your-essential-oils-cool/ We would suggest contacting the company you purchased your oils from for more precise information on the shelf life or expiry dates of their products. 💜
how about a little warning as far as using eucalyptus if you suffer from high blood pressure. Just like those over the counter nasal sprays, the eucalyptol works by constriction of the capillaries in your nasal passage to reduce swelling and inflammation due to irritation of many different sorts. this effect, although is targeted at your nasal capillaries, it does enter those capillaries and has a system wide effect, causing an increase in your blood pressure. If used over a long period of time by someone already suffering from hypertension, this can lead to unintended consequences.
Hi Stella! Yes, Rosemary would be a lovely substitute for Cypress in this recipe. It’s challenging for us to make a suggestion for migraines, because each individual person can react so differently to the oils’ aromas. Some find the scents to be just perfect, while others find them not appealing at all. We find Frankincense helps a lot of people with migraines. This steam recipe may be helpful for you. You could also try 2 drops of Frankincense (Boswellia carterii), 7 drops of Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia), 3 drops of Ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora ct. 1,8-cineole), and 3 drops of Siberian Fir (Abies sibirica) in an inhaler and see how that goes. 💜
@@aromatherapyoils Thank you 🙏🏼 so much dear Andrea , for your reply . I’m very happy for that and I wanted to ask one more question 🙋♀️, I keep inhaling rosemary essential oil very often in a day may be 10 times . Is this safe for me to do that , will I have any side effects in future. If not to which extent I can keep using it. Please let me know 😊

Thank you so much for sharing another recipie with us Andrea. I know I sure do appreciate them. Which Eucalyptus are you using for this blend? I am also wondering if this could be duffused and how much would you use? Would it be any good as a chest and back rub with a particular carrier oil...... thanks bunches and enjoy your day!! Debora Cadene
***** I never even noticed that part under the video. Thank you :) So if I was to make a rub, I'd still make the stock blend, but the adustments might look like this..... cypress-25, Tea tree - 25, Eucalyptus Rad, 12, and lavender- 13? then when making a rub from that blend... put 8-10 of those mixed drops into a 1 oz CO or cream...
HI Debora Cadene, I'm using Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) in this blend. It is a bit softer in its aroma then eucalyptus globulus. You can always check right below the video for the written transcription of the video and all the oils are listed there. Yes, this would work very well in a chest rub. You could mix 10-12 drops of this blend in one ounce of carrier oil for anyone over 10 years of age. If it is a bad cold you might try 15-18 drops/ounce.
Hi Serenity! Doing a steam with essential oils can be beneficial for easing congestion, soothing the throat and breathing passages, and supporting healthy breathing. It may also help to ease discomfort with post nasal drip symptoms as well, and we'd love to hear how it goes if you try it. 🌹
Hello mam, Im living in a big city where has a bad air, polluted environment. I wear 2 masks on my face to protect my nose everyday, but I still feel my nose has something inside. I sneeze multiple times every night with a little bit headache. Im scared of sinusitis congestion is going to happen in my life. So, do you think your method can help me? 😭 Thanks for reading..
Hi Mi Mi! The essential oils in this blend are wonderful for respiratory support, helping to break up mucus and relieve congestion. It's worth a try! Let us know how that goes!
Hello Wei! Yes, this blend would be amazing in an inhaler! Great idea! You can try this: -5 drops Cypress oil (Cupressus sempervirens) -5 drops Eucalyptus Radiata oil (Eucalyptus radiata) -5 drops Tea Tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
I have an 11 yr old Down Syndrome son with a sinus infection. I dont have Cypress. Can I use Cedar wood with the Eucalyptus and Tea Tree? Can I blend these in a diffuser while he sleeps?
CMV Robinson, I might leave out the eucalyptus entirely and just use cedarwood, tea tree and some lavender for someone his age. This will also help him sleep running the diffuser for 15 minutes on and 60 minutes off, repeating this every few hours.
Hi John! There are many wonderful essential oils that offer sinus relief. As an alternative we would suggest Peppermint (Mentha x piperita), or Rosemary ct camphor (Rosmarinus officinalis ct camphor), or conifers such as Black Spruce essential oil (Picea mariana) or Balsam Fir essential oil (Abies balsamea). Steaming with just 1 drop of either of those oils can be beneficial to open the sinuses and reduce congestion. Oregano is a strong essential oil that should be used cautiously as it is known to irritate the mucous membrane.
@@wtfusheeple5383 Yes!! I have a new book that was recently published that I’m excited to share with you. The book is called “The Heart of Aromatherapy” and in the book I profile 40 essential oils. There are over 100 recipes and each recipe has a kid-friendly version. By the end of this book, you will know which oils you want to turn to for different needs. My book is available for purchase here: www.aromatics.com/products/book-the-heart-of-aromatherapy
I'm.made the stock blend & used it in an inhaler, roll on & diffuser. I plan on trying this out with the steamer tomorrow. Between all of this, I hope to be feeling better soon.
You can Rosalyn Freeman. I would also suggest trying the steam blend as this is a more aggressive way to help open up the airways. Let me know how it goes :o)
Two questions: Why not use oregano oil as i have heard that it is excellent for sinus issues? & Will a diffuser do the same thing as an oil steam? Thank you for your quality videos :)
Bu tI have tried the blend in this video, and it doesn't help with post nasal drip. Wouldn't it make sense to use orgegano oil, as it's stronger? Maybe you could make a video to advise on post nasal drip?
eg, oregano oil can be quite irritating to the mucus membranes. I might use it in a blend to be used in a diffuser but not in a steam blend as steaming is a more aggressive way to administer the oils to the respiratory system and can be irritating with more gentle oils for some people.
Hi Blanca! We recommend diluting essential oils in carrier oils before applying them topically as essential oil can cause irritation to the skin. In general for adults, we suggest a 2% dilution - 1 oz (30 ml) of carrier with 10 to 12 drops of essential oils. Another way great way to use this stock blend is to put 15 drops in a blank Aromatherapy inhaler and carry that with you to use throughout the day.
I do have a few videos for headaches. Here is one th-cam.com/video/Q23ayOMxwAI/w-d-xo.html. You can also do a search putting in Aromahead and headaches. I don't have a video for eczema but I have had good results using some of the great natural carriers to help support the skin.
Andrea, how long do you hold the towel over your head. My grandmother did this type of thing with pine needles and sat for a while like 20 minutes. Also which singular drop could I use since I don't have a beaker to measure the 25 drops (could do it one drop at a time, I suppose)
Ilse Wenzel, you can count out each drop. It takes just a bit longer but works just as well. I usually stay under the towel for about 3-5 minutes but you could stay under longer if you'd like.
Peter Pan that is often the case. You might try adding some lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) to this blend to help with sleep. I would add 25 drops to the stock blend and then the 1 drop you use in his steam will have some calming effects to help with his sleep. You might also try this recipe th-cam.com/video/_QktN9Xstv8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for sharing this video. I've been looking for something like this. I'm new to essential oils. Do you have anything on making your own Reed Diffusers?
I have a 8 yr old with terrible allergies. Do you have a recipe or blend that could be used with a inhaler that would be safe to use for a child this age?
I'm using Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) in this blend. It is a bit softer in its aroma then eucalyptus globulus. You can always check right below the video for the written transcription of the video and all the oils are listed there.
Ima try this I constantly cough up phlegm. I must have sinus problems!. No allergies but doctors say.!!. mucus drains down my throat alot. I so after all those drops do u put it in a pot of steaming water.!!
I don't really get allergy symptoms, but lately I'm suffering from ear pressure, like I'm in an airplane for hours with no relief. Antihistamines have helped a ton but the pressure is kind of coming back in one ear, do you think this might work? :)
Secret Dusk, yes you could try this blend to help with ear pressure. Opening up the respiratory system can help to open the ears too. Please let me know how it goes for you.
When I put the eucalyptus oil in I stop smelling it after 1-2 inhales. Is this normal and should I keep adding oil in there or just put a couple drops in total?
Jarrod Findon, you could add more of the eucalyptus to the stock blend but it is natural to sense the aroma after a few inhales. It is still working even though you might not be able to detect a specific aroma.
Hi Rachael! To do an essential oil steam you simply add 1 drop of the essential oil stock blend to a bowl of steamy water. Then close your eyes, lean over the bowl and breathe in!
Yes, steam inhalation can be beneficial for easing sinus concerns. If an active infection is suspected, we do suggest seeking guidance from a medical professional 💜
I would leave out the eucalyptus entirely and just use cedarwood, tea tree and some lavender for kids. This will also help them sleep running the diffuser for 15 minutes on and 60 minutes off, repeating this every few hours.
I'm sorry, Gold Vulcan. You might try steaming a few times a day for 3-5 days to see if this helps to break up the congestion. Sometimes it takes a few days if you have severe congestion.
I have been struggling with sinus congestion and dizziness for weeks now. After eucalyptus inhalation via steam I feel 80% better already. Wow!
That's wonderful to hear! We're so happy to hear Eucalyptus has been so helpful for you 💜
Did you just do the eucalyptus alone or with a blend?

Thank you.
Tanner Tucker, you could add 8-10 drops of the blend to your diffuser.
Hello and thank you Andrea! A great video. I have the oils but would like to know where you bought your graduated cylinder.
Amazon:www.amazon.com/Thick-Graduated-Measuring-Cylinder-Brushes/dp/B01ECAQPWA/ref=sr_1_3?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1538436600&sr=1-3&keywords=graduated+cylinder
Two questions:
Why not use oregano oil as i have heard that it is excellent for sinus issues? &
Will a diffuser do the same thing as an oil steam?
Thank you for your quality videos :)
Bu tI have tried the blend in this video, and it doesn't help with post nasal drip. Wouldn't it make sense to use orgegano oil, as it's stronger? Maybe you could make a video to advise on post nasal drip?
eg, oregano oil can be quite irritating to the mucus membranes. I might use it in a blend to be used in a diffuser but not in a steam blend as steaming is a more aggressive way to administer the oils to the respiratory system and can be irritating with more gentle oils for some people.
can this be applied to the skin
Hi Blanca! We recommend diluting essential oils in carrier oils before applying them topically as essential oil can cause irritation to the skin. In general for adults, we suggest a 2% dilution - 1 oz (30 ml) of carrier with 10 to 12 drops of essential oils.
Another way great way to use this stock blend is to put 15 drops in a blank Aromatherapy inhaler and carry that with you to use throughout the day.
thanks, do you have any for migraine and eczema
I do have a few videos for headaches. Here is one th-cam.com/video/Q23ayOMxwAI/w-d-xo.html. You can also do a search putting in Aromahead and headaches. I don't have a video for eczema but I have had good results using some of the great natural carriers to help support the skin.
Andrea, how long do you hold the towel over your head. My grandmother did this type of thing with pine needles and sat for a while like 20 minutes. Also which singular drop could I use since I don't have a beaker to measure the 25 drops (could do it one drop at a time, I suppose)
Ilse Wenzel, you can count out each drop. It takes just a bit longer but works just as well. I usually stay under the towel for about 3-5 minutes but you could stay under longer if you'd like.
can you tell me what is good when he goes to sleep, because it seems to be the worse time and he starts coughing non stop? THANKS!
Peter Pan that is often the case. You might try adding some lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) to this blend to help with sleep. I would add 25 drops to the stock blend and then the 1 drop you use in his steam will have some calming effects to help with his sleep. You might also try this recipe th-cam.com/video/_QktN9Xstv8/w-d-xo.html
Wow! I need this one. Can I use this blend in a diffuser?
Cancer Warriors
For sure, Cancer Warriors! This works really well in a diffuser if you don't want to steam or want to use it in congress with steaming.
Thank you for sharing this video. I've been looking for something like this. I'm new to essential oils. Do you have anything on making your own Reed Diffusers?
How do I keep my essential oils from coming out of the bottle too fast?
I have a 8 yr old with terrible allergies. Do you have a recipe or blend that could be used with a inhaler that would be safe to use for a child this age?
I would leave out the eucalyptus entirely and just use cedarwood, tea tree and some lavender for kids.
Thank you. It helped xx
Yay! We're so happy to hear that, Miria! Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback. 💜
Which of the Eucalyptus oils do you use for this blend?
I'm using Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) in this blend. It is a bit softer in its aroma then eucalyptus globulus. You can always check right below the video for the written transcription of the video and all the oils are listed there.
Ima try this I constantly cough up phlegm. I must have sinus problems!. No allergies but doctors say.!!. mucus drains down my throat alot. I so after all those drops do u put it in a pot of steaming water.!!
***** I appreciate it! :) Works great.
Mrbradboy1, you can place one drop of this blend in steaming water and while closing your eyes inhale the vapors to help drain the mucus.
Most definite
I don't really get allergy symptoms, but lately I'm suffering from ear pressure, like I'm in an airplane for hours with no relief. Antihistamines have helped a ton but the pressure is kind of coming back in one ear, do you think this might work? :)
Secret Dusk, yes you could try this blend to help with ear pressure. Opening up the respiratory system can help to open the ears too. Please let me know how it goes for you.
Thanks you!
When I put the eucalyptus oil in I stop smelling it after 1-2 inhales. Is this normal and should I keep adding oil in there or just put a couple drops in total?
Jarrod Findon, you could add more of the eucalyptus to the stock blend but it is natural to sense the aroma after a few inhales. It is still working even though you might not be able to detect a specific aroma.
When using this steam method does the essential oil need to be diluted with a carrier oil?
Hi Rachael! To do an essential oil steam you simply add 1 drop of the essential oil stock blend to a bowl of steamy water. Then close your eyes, lean over the bowl and breathe in!
Is this safe for young children , say ages 5 and 6 ? Thanks
t broad, I would replace the eucalyptus radiata with cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana).
Its me again. Another question, can I also put these on his feet while he sleeps?
It would serve him better diffusing it into his sleeping space, CMV Robison
Steaming is best for sinys better that antbotic ecliptus oil the best in steaming
Yes, steam inhalation can be beneficial for easing sinus concerns. If an active infection is suspected, we do suggest seeking guidance from a medical professional 💜
Is it suitable for kids??
Andrea Butje Even Eucalyptus radiata? I have heard that is safe for younger children.
I would leave out the eucalyptus entirely and just use cedarwood, tea tree and some lavender for kids. This will also help them sleep running the diffuser for 15 minutes on and 60 minutes off, repeating this every few hours.
didnt work. i guess im so clogged its worthless
I'm sorry, Gold Vulcan. You might try steaming a few times a day for 3-5 days to see if this helps to break up the congestion. Sometimes it takes a few days if you have severe congestion.
