Many aromatherapy oils are decongestants, make a blend using one cup carrier oil such as organic sweet almond oil, add two drops of chamomile, pine or clary sage.

Rub this mix into the temples, you can also use these oils in a steam bath. Take a large bowl, fill with very hot water, add a few drops of your chosen oil, lean over and inhale the steam. Make a mustard footbath to warm the body and to help decongest the nasal passages.
