I have had a lot of positive outcomes with all kinds of respiratory issues with people, horses, dogs and cats using the inhalation or Aromatherapy and Young Living Essential Oils.

Diffusing oils can be invaluable.  Breathing in the oil molecules can make a big difference for many.

Aromatherapy and Essential Oils

Inhaling plant oils or essential oil aromatherapy, can be used for improved physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Essential oils are the pure essence of the plant—often referred to as nature’s living energy—and can provide both psychological and physical benefits when used correctly.

Two of my favorite Young Living oils that I have found especially helpful with respiratory issues with people, horses, dogs, cats and other animals; Peppermint and RC are at the top of my list.

Jean Valnet, MD, studied peppermint’s supportive effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Well noted for its soothing, cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, I have seen people and animals with extreme breathing difficulties begin to relax and be able to breath more easily again immediately upon inhalation of Young Living Peppermint.

RC stands for Respiratory Congestion.  I have found this blend to give relief from colds, congestion, coughs, respiratory

issues and sometimes relieve allergy symptoms.  I have used RC with people, horses, dogs, and even cats. Consisting of 11 different single oils blended together, these oils are known for their qualities that assist the respiratory system all combined together. Included are four types of Eucalyptus- globulus, radiata, australiana and citriodora as well as Myrtle, Pine, Spruce, Marjoram, Lavender, Cypress and peppermint.

Aromatherapy for Improved Health and Wellness

Inhalation is one of many ways you can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. When practicing aromatherapy, inhaling essential oils or using them topically, it’s vital that only pure, undiluted essential oils like Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ (YLTG) are used. Synthetic, perfume-grade products lack the necessary level of beneficial constituents and offer little or no positive effect.

The Science of Aromatherapy

When a YLTG essential oil is diffused, it’s inhaled and processed through the olfactory system, which then sends the therapeutic benefits of the aroma to the brain. Depending on the specific constituents in the oil, you may begin to feel the release of negative emotions, the soothing of undue muscle tension, or experience the cleansing effect of the oils as your body eliminates toxins.

There are two ways to use essential oils for aromatherapy: inhalation and topical application.

Inhalation

When inhaling oils for aromatherapy, here are some commonly used techniques:

Inhale essential oils directly—simply smell them straight from the bottle.

Diffuse essential oils using a device that disperses the oil into the air in a micro-fine vapor. Young Living offers a line of essential oil diffusers that effectively spreads the aromatic benefits of essential oils through the air without damaging their important constituents.

Some of the diffusers available;

Essential Oil Diffuser: Disperses essential oils without heating so they retain their therapeutic benefits.

Ultrasonic Diffuser: Atomizes cold water &essential oils, breaking up molecules into a microscopic mist.

Travel Fan Diffuser: Introduces convenience and portability to essential oil diffusing.

Many additional Young Living Oils have been helpful for Respiratory issues.  Stay tuned for other oils.

Peace & Calming® Essential Oil Blend is a gentle, fragrant blend. When massaged on the feet, neck, shoulders, or along the back with adults, children or even animals, it can help calm tensions and uplift the spirit, promoting relaxation and a deep sense of peace.

Peace & Calming’s gorgeous scent is specially blended to lift your mood or ease the discomforts of stressful situations. If you’ve ever felt down or anxious in various settings, consider using this soothing essential oil blend.

This blend is the scent of choice for many people.  Dogs, cats, horses and other animals also respond well to the calming qualities of Peace & Calming.

Wellness Tips For People:

I love to use Peace & Calming for many situations where calming is needed.  For instance, using before stressful meetings and situations, difficulty going to sleep or calming down, anxiety, restless leg syndrome, Fibromyalgia, over active kids or adults, before a test or presentation and any other stressful situation whether there is emotional, psychological or physical stress.

Methods of Application & Uses for People;

General: Applying a few drops on your palm, rubbing your palms gently together and then taking several deep inhalations to get the aroma into the sinus cavity can have a very calming effect for many.  Plus it smells heavenly!  Then gently wipe Peace & Calming along the back of your neck, down the shoulders and wiping the residue down your chest, belly, arms and legs.  Apply more if desired.

  • For anxiety many people have found using a few drops right at the base of your skull to be especially effective. Placing a drop or two on your finger, then applying directly on location where the skull meets the neck. Doing this every 10-15 minutes and continue until after a deep calming occurs.  Repeated applications have been known to greatly enhance the effects.  Rubbing a few drops all over the belly and applying as frequently as needed is another helpful location.
  • Restless Leg Syndrome I know many people who apply Peace & Calming onto their legs before falling asleep and report deep sleep and calm legs all night!
  • Fibromyalgia, people have reported that massaging Peace & Calming all over painful areas to help feel better.
  • For stressful meetings; Applying Peace & Calming on feet, head, neck, shoulders or other favorite areas prior to the meeting.  Many people have reported that people love the scent and are also positively effected from the aroma and your calmer nature!

Methods of Application & Uses for Animals; I love using Peace & Calming for Horses, Dogs, Cats, Goats, Ferrets and many others.  I find similar effects using this delightful blend with the animals where ever calming is needed.  Applying prior to a stressful situation works best if at all possible, since you have less adrenaline pumping prior to an event.  I have used Peace & Calming with dogs before getting in the car for Vet visits, car sickness, dental exams and procedures, dog or horse shows, prior to horse trailering, for overactive pups or horses, and for end of live care.

Applications:

Horses: Place a few drops on your palm and then wiping on ears, neck, chest, belly.  Applying a few drops to your fingers, and then wiping around the coronet band.
