So my friend was complaining about having a horrible cold so I decided to try something different and make the oils stronger than usual, I found the blend for the bath online, She hasn't got back to me yet about results but here it is anyway.
Cold
what you will need:
grapeseed carrier oil or milk
eucalyptus smithii essential oil
marjoram essential oil
tea tree essential oil
peppermint essential oil
plastic measuring cup
dark glass bottle
If you want to use this in the bath I would use 10 drops of eucalyptus smithii, 10 drops of marjoram, 5 drops of tea tree and 5 drops of peppermint. I mixed this with 10 ml of milk so it wouldn't all separate in the bath. Use about half of the blend and mix with the milk, be careful this is a very strong blend so I wouldn't use if you have overly sensitive skin. Also as the oil properties can help with the cold they are also energizing and will definitely wake you up so don't use to late at night or you wont be able to get to sleep later.
If wanting to use these oils as a blend on your skin. I would use 5 drops of eucalyptus smithii, 5 drops of marjoram, 2 drops of tea tree and 2 drops of peppermint and mix with grapeseed oil as it is nourishing and light. Store the blend in a small dark glass bottle and rub the bottle in your hands for a few minutes to mix the oils all together. Then 2-3 times a day you should put 3-4 drops of the oil in the palm of your hand and with your fingers put the oil blend across your forehead, the bridge of your nose and on your temples. Be careful not to get the blend in your eyes or up your nose as it can be extremely dangerous.
This blend will last up to about 6 months, but store in a dark, dry place as well as in the bottle :)
