Sinus Steam

Ingredients

• 1½ C epsom salt
• 1½ C sea salt (I use a combo of fine and coarse)
• ¼ C dried peppermint leaf
• 25 drops peppermint essential oil
• 45 drops eucalyptus essential oil
• 20 drops spearmint essential oil
• 8 drops thyme essential oil (optional)

Instructions

1. Grind mint, add salts. Add Essential Oils (I add about 1/2 the amount, mix, then add the remainder) and mix well. Store, sealed (I use a quart canning jar) for 24 hours.
2. To use: Put 3/4 cup in boiled water and stir. Inhale. I make a tent with a towel to capture as much steam as possible and am rarely able to inhale for longer than a couple of minutes before my sinuses start running. Note: This also makes a great foot soak!
