Oh, Lordy. I am just kicking myself for not ordering a nebulizing aromatherapy diffuser! I woke up yesterday with laryngitis, stuffed-up head and congestion, and a dry, rattling cough. Argh! Isn’t it a bit early for this kind of thing. I mean, Fall just began!

I put together an essential oil mixture and put it in my potpourri / aromatherapy diffuser, but it’s not the same as having a nebulizing diffuser. The great thing about the nebulizing diffusers is that they don’t use heat, and they turn the essential oils into tiny air-borne molecules so you can breathe them into your lungs.

The mixture I made up smelled great, and when I was standing over it, it definitely helped my congestion. But darn it, I’m gonna get a nebulizing diffuser right now!

Here’s the mixture I used:

4 drops Eucalyptus globulus essential oil
4 drops Eucalyptus radiata essential oil
6 drops lemon essential oil (citrus limon)

The lemon essential oil smelled great, and it’s known as one of the best ways to disinfect the air. Of course, I’m already infected. LOL
