Embrace the serenity of an Eucalyptus Forest with this custom inhaler recipe that provides remarkable respiratory support.

Here's the recipe:
Eucalyptus Forest Resin Inhaler

This inhaler offers respiratory support.

Ingredients

Equipment
Directions
  • Insert the wick into your inhaler.

  • Introduce the essential oils onto the wick, allowing each drop to imbue its healing power.

  • Secure the plastic bottom into place.

These three different oils converge with a singular mission: to provide excellent respiratory support.

Eucalyptus, with its renowned respiratory benefits, takes the center stage. While numerous Eucalyptus species carry these supportive properties, for this recipe we're harnessing the strength of Eucalyptus dives, though Eucalyptus globulus or Eucalyptus radiata would be equally effective substitutes.

Balsam Fir essential oil, derived from the resilient conifer tree. It's a powerhouse when it comes to combating respiratory conditions accompanied by persistent coughing and thick mucus.

Opopanax, an oil distilled from resin akin to Frankincense and Myrrh, offers comforting support to the respiratory system in its true "resinous" fashion.

Together, this essential oil trio works to soothe inflammation in the respiratory system, assist the body in clearing congestion, and bolster the immune system. This magical mix transforms your inhaler into a potent tool for promoting vitality and well-being.

It's remarkable how nature provides trees and plants that aid us in clear breathing, no matter where we find ourselves in the world.

Eucalyptus thrives in Australia, Balsam Fir is native to Canada, and Opopanax originates from various countries, including Ethiopia. These "lung-like" trees ingest carbon dioxide and release purified oxygen, facilitating our breathing even before we distill their essential oils!

Through distillation, we capture the essence of these helpful trees and plants in tiny oil bottles, emphasizing the power they hold. With just a few drops, we can unlock the vast healing potential nature has in store for us.
