Spritz over your face, night clothes or pillow to help you drift off.

Children

Roman Chamomile is one of the best oils to use with children to help with sleeplessness, irritability, tummy upsets and teething. Vaporise in a child's bedroom before bed, or use in the bath or for massage. Add 1 drop of Chamomile to 12ml of carrier oil for massage or 1 drop to 15ml of our SLS free Shower Gel for an aromatic bath. You may also use Lavender in place of Chamomile if you prefer.

Colds / Immunity

For colds place 3 drops of Eucalyptus Radiata and 3 drops High Altitude Lavender on a cotton pad and inhale throughout the day.

To blitz bugs and relieve symptoms of colds and flu do a steam inhalation with up to 10 drops of Eucalyptus Radiata to a bowl of steamy hot water, close your eyes, place your head over the bowl with a towel over your head, and inhale the steam for 1-2 minutes. Repeat as necessary to help unblock congestion.

Hayfever

At the first signs of hayfever, place a few drops of Roman Chamomile on a tissue and sniff frequently. You can also try a steam inhalation with 2 drops each of Eucalyptus, Chamomile and Lavender (if this is too powerful try sniffing them off a tissue instead).
