Peppermint
Ugh.
We're sick.
Classic cold, complete with sinus congestion, cough and wheezing. We're dealing with a toddler who has Chronic Lung Disease so I'm not in the mood or position to deny medication for respiratory symptoms. He's wheezing so, an Albuterol nebulizer treatment is in order. I'm confident that when he's older and stronger, we will substitute the steroid with a natural remedy for the lung stuff, but not now- not yet.
For our other symptoms, though, we've been bathing in thieves all day and diffusing it- of course- but the star of the day has been Peppermint! We've typically used Peppermint on the tummy for digestion and diffused with Lavender and Lemon for the allergy trio, but today it helped sooth burning lungs and clear stuffy noses.

How We Use Peppermint
For sinus and chest cold symptoms:
I placed a few drops around the shower for a sinus clearing steam shower.
I added 2 drops to the diffuser with 3 drops of thieves during nap time and bed time and, well, all day really:)
I also made a simple chest rub- 2 ingredients folks!
