Tea Tree Oil

I am a big supporter of inhaling hot steam through your sinuses for congestion. However, you can't be home 24/7 to do it. This is where this homemade Tea tree oil nasal spray comes in.

Materials needed:

– Nasal Saline Spray 1.5 oz. (found at any Dollarstore)

– Tea Tree Oil

– Needle nose pliers

– Paper towel

Directions:

– Remove cap from nasal spray.

– Wrap paper towel around nasal tip. Use pliers to carefully wiggle tip off of bottle. The paper towel protects the soft plastic tip from damage by using the pliers.

– Once removed, add two drops tea tree oil to the 1.5 oz. saline solution in bottle.

– Re-install tip on bottle. Re-cap bottle. It is now ready to use.

How to use: Shake bottle before each use so the oil mixes with the saline solution. Mist/Spray each nostril with solution several times daily. Do this til symptoms improve.

Why it works:

Saline nasal spray clears out mucus and crusts in your nasal passages that are causing you to feel stuffed up. Using saline nasal spray or irrigation also helps cleanse your nasal passages, washing away pollen and other things that cause allergy symptoms. Saline sprays can reduce thick mucus secretions in the sinuses and nose.

Tea tree oil can help relieve sinus congestion by reducing inflammation. Tea tree oil is known for its antiviral and antimicrobial properties. Its expectorant properties can loosen mucus.
