Drape a towel over your head, keep your eyes closed, and breathe for a few minutes. More drops is not better; the vapour is strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEucalyptus or peppermint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey do different things to the same steam. Eucalyptus is the broad, camphorous one; peppermint is sharper and cooler because of its menthol. Together they are the traditional pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan children use these?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppermint and eucalyptus are generally not recommended for children under six, and never near the face of an infant. Diffuse in the room instead of using direct steam, and check with your paediatrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I put a drop in my nose or take it internally?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Essential oils are never to be taken internally or applied inside the nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add them to a hot shower?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — a couple of drops on the shower floor away from the direct stream gives you a gentler version of the same steam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuy these oils individually\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery oil in this set is also sold on its own: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/himalayan-cedarwood-essential-oil\"\u003eHimalayan Cedarwood oil\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/peppermint-essential-oil\"\u003ePeppermint oil\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/eucalyptus-essential-oil\"\u003eEucalyptus oil\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/holy-basil-essential-oil\"\u003eHoly Basil oil\u003c\/a\u003e.
