When colds and flu abound in the winter, I’ll get a batch of my Winter Cold Blend going in my ―big ol‘ pot on the woodstove.
Fill that big ol‘ pot with water. Add: 2 droppers full of eucalyptus essential oil 5 drops of peppermint essential oil 1 dropper full of lavender essential oil 5 drops tea tree oil 5 drops clove oil Let it simmer and fill the air! You could also modify this receipt and use any of these you have on hand.
This makes for a great steam treatment blend too. This will clear a stuffy nose in no time!

Time Is:
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love,
Time is Eternity.
~Henry Van Dyke
