Blend 9 - You will have noticed that there are a number of blends aimed at essentially winter complaints such as colds and flu. The reason for this is that these and similar complaints have a variety of symptoms - sometimes affecting only the nasal passages, sometimes the lungs and sometimes primarily chest and throat.

For those conditions where a cough and sore throat are part of the equation, Blend 9 is the choice. This is one I blended in treating myself one winter when I got a particularly nasty throat infection and cough following a bout of flu.

I kept Blend 11 constantly burning in the room (potent anti-viral) and used Blend 9 in a steam inhalation (traditional method of towel over the head as I bent over a bowl of hot water with 3 drops Blend 9) to ease my chest.

For my throat, I warmed a teaspoon full of Olive oil (healing in its' own right) and added 2 drops blend 9 massaging the mixture into my throat - a little greasy but very effective.

This is a very useful blend in treating many respiratory complaints centred on the chest and throat from laryngitis to bronchitis and croup (1 drop to 5ml olive oil to massage little ones).

Blend 9 is designed to be a powerful respiratory tonic with a potent action on the chest and throat areas.

The initial impact of Blend 9 is that of Lemon and Eucalyptus together with Juniper and Benzoin which penetrate deeply and act quickly to bring relief and prepare the way for the soothing and calming action of Chamomile, Hyssop, Sandalwood and Frankincense.
