This must be the first thing I have ever done with non diluted essential oils. I got the idea from an allergy inhaler recipe I saw on the interweb. I keep a small jar of lavender in my desk to smell when I have a slight headache and don't want to take anything and I thought this would be a nice alternative.
Despite the heavy lavender use the chamomile is quite forward. I added the eucalyptus primarily to open up the nasal passages.
2 inhaler tubes
30 drops lavender essential oil
15 drops chamomile essential oil
2 drops eucalyptus essential oil
Mix all drops, then use the absorption core that comes with the inhalers (or a refill) to soak up the oil. Use tweezers to move the soaked core to the inhaler tube and then cap it on the bottom.
Manipura (solar plexus) Chakra Inhaler
The Solar Plexus Chakra is a center of personal strength, learning and comprehension. It guides you through life by creating a strong sense of self, setting personal boundaries and building self esteem and willpower. The ability to bring change into your life and to the world is born within this Chakra.
The solar plexus chakra is associated with the fire element because fire provides warmth and comfort, but also can cause fear and terror. This chakra spans a wide emotional area.
I've selected an inhaler for the this chakra application because the solar plexus being out of balance can greatly affect your interactions with others. An inhaler is convenient and doesn't interact with others. Use the inhaler any time your feel out of balance or need to project a well developed sense of yourself.
You will need an inhaler tube (which includes a open tube, topper, wick and butt), a small mixing vessel, tweezers and the following essential oils:
6 drops grapefruit essential oil
6 drops roman chamomile essential oil
2 drops bergamot essential oil
Carefully (to avoid waste) add the essential oil drops to the mixing bowl. Drop the wick into the vessel and use it to soak up all of the essential oil. Dismantle the inhaler tube. Using your tweezers (to avoid pure essential oils on your skin) pick up the wick and drop it in the open tube. Insert the butt and then put the cap on.
To use, hold the opened inhaler to your nostril and breath in.
