6 Top Essential Oils

Many believe that certain types of Oils can help support the respiratory system and improve your condition so you can continue to do the things you enjoy in life.

Young Living oils for breathing better and more easily are awesome. Not only do they smell amazing, but they give you a lovely sense of wellbeing.

Here are the top six essential oils to support the respiratory system:

Peppermint – I think you had a feeling that this would be the first one of the many essential oils(EOs) for respiratory health. It is well-known and well-loved. I love the feeling of freshness it gives me and how it helps me breathe better when I have a stuffy nose. Add it to your tea for an immune boost and great flavor.
Eucalyptus Globulus – The next Young Living oil for breathing better is one of the many types of eucalyptus. It is often used for the respiratory system as it can be a powerful expectorant and a great protector of sinuses. For children, Eucalyptus Radiata will work better, as it has a milder fragrance. Personally, I wouldn’t mix both Peppermint AND Eucalyptus with children. One or the other will be fine. You can also alternate, with a few hours in-between uses.
Cedarwood – As you read about the best EOs for respiratory health, you might be puzzled by this one. Why is deadwood on the list? It is a strong purifier and great to use in a diffuser.
Cypress – If you are still wanting to know what essential oils are good for lungs and breathing, check this one out! Derived from the Greek word that means “live forever,” it helps keep our bodies in good health.
Pine – One of my favorites, as it smells amazing! I love to diffuse Peppermint and Pine together during the December-February season. Pine is one of the best-smelling essential oils for lung support, for sure.
Rosemary – It is one of the oils in the wonderful and amazing blend called Thieves. It is one of the ingredients that makes the blend so powerful! It is the best essential oil for respiratory health that can also be used for cooking.

These oils have therapeutic properties believed to improve all types of respiratory conditions.

They help clear your home of allergens, germs and viruses that make respiratory problems worse.

They also contain decongestant and antiseptic properties that help clear up your chest, head and nasal passages, so you can breathe easier.

Personal Testimonial

My friend wasn’t feeling well and needed something to support her Respiratory System.

I made a vegetable capsule for her with MCT (coconut) oil and 4 drops of each of the oils above and I also included Lemon Essential Oil.

She said that right after she took it, she could tell a difference and says that it actually “kicked” it.

Support the Respiratory System

One of the best ways to use these oils is with a diffuser. These devices break up the oil into tiny particles that are then disperses throughout the room.

When you walk into the room, you breathe the particles into the lungs where they go to work immediately to help improve you condition.

Always choose 100 percent pure grade oils because they don’t contain added ingredients that may not be healthy.

Don’t use internally without consulting with an aromatherapist to ensure the oil is safe to consume.

If you’re taking medication for your respiratory condition, check with your doctor before using essential oils.

Some oils can have an adverse effect when used with certain types of medications.
