Ingredients
4 drops benzoin resin oil
2 drops lavender essential oil
2 drops German chamomile essential oil (CO2 extracted)
2 drops ho wood essential oil
2 drops myrrh essential oil
2 drops petitgrain essential oil
1 drops clary sage essential oil
Instructions
- Saturate the wick of an essential oil inhaler with up to 15 drops of essential oil.
- You can also add drops to a clean cotton ball, and store in a small, airtight, non-plastic container such as an old (clean) Altoids tin or a small metal pill box.
- Refresh the essential oils in your personal inhaler tube every 3-4 weeks or as needed.
Notes
Essential oils can react with plastic, so it’s a good idea to avoid plastic baggies or containers for storage. Mountain Rose Herbs carries an inexpensive aluminum personal inhaler with a glass interior. This aluminum-alloy inhaler is also good.
I find the scent of steam-distilled German chamomile essential oil to have an unpleasant sour smell. I vastly prefer the scent of CO2-extracted chamomile, which has a softer herbaceous scent that smells more like fresh chamomile flowers.
