Try this blend to see if you can get a little relief. Myrtle 10 drops Hyssop 3 drops German Chamomile 3 drops Blend well in an amber bottle(4 ml size is ample) and add to a Personal inhaler or smell from the bottle. Do this several times a day (3-4 times a day). If you are really stuffy and cant get any air through your nasal passages smell a little Peppermint a few minutes before smelling this blend. The Peppermint will usually open up your nasal passage enough so you can then inhale this blend. We have had several people with chronic type coughs use this blend and have very good results. Hopefully this will help you too, should you need to use it. |
