How to Use
One of the very best ways to use your respiratory support formula is as a respiratory steam, in bowl of steaming water.
Add 3-4 drops to a large ceramic bowl. You may want to pre-heat your bowl so the waters stay warm longer. Cover your head with a towel to capture the steam. Be sure to close your eyes so the essential oil vapors do not get into your eyes.

Hi Bryan,
There’s really no comparison. Manuka is a great oil though not very well known and more expensive than some of the more commonly known oils like the Sweet Orange and Lavender. Melissa, though a great oil, is expensive and often adulterated. The Cold & Flu Respiratory Support offers full spectrum support for respiratory issues using oils that are fairly inexpensive and easy to find. If you love your respiratory blend and get great results then it’s the one that’s right for you! Thanks for sharing!!
How would these compare to simply Manuka Essential oil & a drop of either sweet orange / Melissa/ or lavender?
