SINUS head tension is usually felt as a generalized feeling of discomfort in the front of the head and sinus area, often accompanied by a runny nose and sore eyes. Sinus discomfort can be felt when seasonal threats are high, such as in the spring, or when the pollen count in the surrounding environment is high.
For relief during such times, choose Essential Oils that help support the airways and clear the nasal passageways:
Eucalyptus
Peppermint
Lemon
Rosemary
Siberian Fir
Spearmint
Respiratory Blend
EUCALYPTUS has a high percentage of the chemical constituent eucalyptol, which can help to alleviate sinus pressure that causes discomfort. It can help promote feelings of clear breathing and open airways, especially when applied to the chest, top of the nose, and the temples.
(EUCALYPTUS is also beneficial for the skin, with purifying and cleansing properties, and makes a good surface cleaner and air purifier when diffused.)
PRACTICAL USES
• Combine with Lemon and Peppermint in a spray bottle and use it to wipe down surfaces in your kitchen or bathroom.
• Add one drop to moisturizer and apply to skin for revitalizing benefits.
• To invigorate and promote vitality, take a shower, then place a few drops of EUCALYPTUS in yours hands, cup your hands over your nose, and inhale deeply.
