You can use Breathe essential oil topically or aromatically to support clear breathing and respiratory health.
Here's a breakdown of how to effectively use Breathe essential oil:
Topical Application
- Direct Application: Apply Breathe Touch directly to your chest, back, or the bottoms of your feet. This is especially helpful before bed to promote feelings of clear airways and easy breathing.
- Dilution (if not using Breathe Touch): If you're using the concentrated Breathe essential oil blend, dilute it with a carrier oil like coconut oil, jojoba oil, or almond oil. A common dilution ratio is 1-3 drops of essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil. Apply the diluted mixture to your chest, back, or feet.
- Massage: Gently massage the oil into the skin to enhance absorption and promote relaxation.
- On-the-Go: Carry a bottle of Breathe Touch in your car or purse for use during activities like hiking, working out, or outdoor picnics.
Aromatic Use
- Diffuser: Add a few drops of Breathe essential oil to a diffuser to fill the room with its invigorating aroma. This can help to create a soothing and supportive environment for clear breathing.
- Inhalation: Place a drop or two of Breathe essential oil in your palms, rub them together, and cup your hands over your nose and mouth. Inhale deeply for 30 seconds to a minute. Be careful not to get the oil in your eyes.
- Steam Inhalation: Add a few drops of Breathe essential oil to a bowl of hot (but not boiling) water. Cover your head with a towel and lean over the bowl, inhaling the steam for 5-10 minutes. This can help to open up airways.
Precautions
- Sensitivity: Perform a patch test before applying Breathe essential oil to a large area of skin. Apply a small amount of diluted oil to a small area of skin and wait 24 hours to see if any irritation occurs.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Children: Use Breathe with caution on children. Dilution is especially important for children. Breathe Touch is a good option for children due to its pre-diluted formulation.
- Avoid Eyes and Mucous Membranes: Avoid getting Breathe essential oil in your eyes, inner ears, or other sensitive areas.
By using Breathe essential oil topically or aromatically, you can support respiratory health and promote feelings of clear breathing. Remember to dilute appropriately and use caution when applying the oil.
