The name is exactly what it does for me, it is like breathing in fresh calming Air. DoTERRA Air is a proprietary blend of some of the most incredible natural ingredients. The peppermint makes it minty and invigorating, the eucalyptus leaf and stem is uplifting and clears the airways. Melaleuca leaf with its natural antiseptic properties smells divine and cools the skin. Laurel Leaf, Lemon Peel, Ravensara Leaf, Cardamom Seed essential oils give a calming and soothing feeling. A complex blend of plants that complement one another to perfection.
Benefits
This oil is calming, soothing and can help to clear the airways if you are feeling congested or tight in the chest area.
Uses
My personal favourite use for Air is to add three or four drops to the shower floor before a nice hot shower. The heat releases the oil into the steam and inhaling it can really open up the airways and make you feel alive! If you combine a few drops of the oil with Epsom salts in a warm bath it feels like you are being wrapped in fresh zingy bubble that gets right into your body helping to sooth and calm both internally and externally.
Just like some of the more traditional cold treatments out there you can rub a few drops of Air into your chest to help cool, invigorate, and assist easy breathing. Likewise rubbing Air onto your feet makes them feel relaxed and all tingling, it really is a fab feeling, try it!
If you are planning an outdoor adventure you can mix a few drops of Air with a carrier oil (such as coconut) and apply topically on your neck and chest. As you undertake your days activities it will keep you feeling full of energy and help to keep the airways open.
If I am ever suffering from symptoms of congestion or my asthma is playing up I will supplement my prescribed medicines by diffusing Air into my bedroom while I sleep. I find it really helps me settle and breathe.
Warnings. Pregnant or nursing ladies please consult your doctor before use. Avoid eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. As it contains a citrus oil (lemon) if you have applied topically ensure the skin is not exposed to sunlight and UV rays for at least 12 hours after applying. Any skin sensitivity to the oil discontinue use, it is normal to create a mid tingling sensation when applied which gradually fads.
