A few weeks ago, I came down with a horrible chest infection caused by Hayfever (allergy to grass pollens). Besides, taking medication from my doctor, I also decided to use my aroma diffuser to help me on my road to recovery. I started to use essential oil when my son was very little and got this knowledge from various people such as herbalist and nursing sister. Essential oils are not uncommon. It has been used since our forefathers and even present times, herbalist and doctors alike, too agreed that it is still the best medicine ever.
Today, I've chosen three of my favourite essential oils which are Eucalyptus, Peppermint and Lavender. These oils plays a significant role in helping me to clear any viruses in my chest! Eucalyptus oil are harvest in the leaves of a special gum tree called Eucalyptus tree. This oil is also an antiseptic and can be applied to wounds and cuts. I like this oil because it is good in clearing my air passage thus, making my breathing easier. Peppermint oil is also very good for relieving symptoms of cold and flu as well as nausea. I like the smell of this particular oil. Nice and sweet! The third one is Lavender oil, which I used often because of my migraine. It is harvest from the leaves as well as the flower. I do have a big bush outside my house which I occasionally rubbed my hands over it whenever I go for a walk. Lavender oil is really good for calming headache and a terrific relief for rheumatic, arthritic and muscular aches. It is also another form of antiseptic as well. It has a sooting effect on skin inflamation and minor burn such as sunburn.
So, whenever I use my diffuser, I like to mix these three oils together as they really makes me feel better and also make my place smell lovely. Hmmm..... I like that!

Check with yr pharmacy if they do carry stock like that. All the best, Aussie Ah Chee
