Nobody likes getting the occasional seasonal illness, but at times they just prove to be unavoidable. While we can’t always avoid those annoying times when somebody at work is wheezing and coughing all over the place, we do have the perfect blend for that!
Simply Earth’s Defender Essential Oil Blend is a mix of four essential oils that work together to defend your body against seasonal illness. For best results, you can use it via steam inhalation when you feel like your immune system needs a little pick-me-up! Using steam to inhale essential oils also proves to be a great practice for cold days.

What’s in the Steam Inhalation Recipe?

Steaming Hot Water
Steaming hot water is used to not only dilute the essential oils but also to help your nasal passages open up. Steam is a great way to get things cleared.
