It is the season for stuffy noses, congestion and sinus pressure. No one has time for that nor wants to struggle with breathing! A lot of people depend on store bought nasal inhalers to clear up their sinuses and while some of those do work, they often contain things that just aren’t great for you in them. So I have decided to share my go-to nasal inhaler recipe that contains just essential oils. This DIY essential oil nasal inhaler is so easy to make and works wonderfully. All you need is your essential oils and a new empty nasal inhaler!

How to Make An Essential Oil Nasal Inhaler:

Gather your supplies and head to the table or your kitchen counter. This takes all of about 60 seconds! Open up your  essential oils and grab your wick. Hold your wick in one hand and slowly drop 8 drops of each essential oil onto your wick. You might want to place a paper towel under your wick in case a little oil drips off. I found it helpful to tilt my wick to the left and right while dropping oils on. This helps the oils to soak in a little quicker. Once you have all your oils on the wick, drop into the main part of your inhaler and pop the bottom cap on. There ya go! You have a “Breathe Easy”  essential oils Nasal Inhaler!

To use: Just hold close to your nose and breath in. The essential oils will help clear nasal congestion.  Allow it a few minutes to begin to work. Then if you still feel stuffy, hold the inhaler close to your nose and breath in again.

Essential oils are powerful and should only be inhaled in small doses for brief periods. Using the DIY nasal inhaler is help you breath in the smells of the essential oils. It is in effect like concentrated aromatherapy.

Please consult with your physician if you have any health concerns as this is not intended to prevent or treat any medical conditions or concerns.

Have you ever made your own nasal inhaler? This is a very easy product to make. If you are struggling with sinus issues or foresee that you will in the future, go ahead and make a DIY essential oil nasal inhaler to have on hand! Your sinuses will thank you!

    I’m heading out on a trip and I have a sick kid! I was looking for something I could make that would help him on the road. This teen will hopefully have some breathing relief soon!

    How long does the inhaler lasts before the scent wears off or need to refill?

      If you keep the lid on most of the time, it will last for about 3 months. But if you leave the lid off or use it very frequently, you may need to reapply the essential oils in as little as 2 weeks. You can smell when the oils have begun to dissipate.
