Hi all, as winter starts to grip our region, I thought I'd share one of doTerra's popular essential oils to assist with respiratory issues. An added benefit is it's also good for the snorer(s) in your household.

EASY AIR can be diffused or applied topically and:
* Maintains clear airways and breathing.
* Supports overall respiratory health.
* Helps minimise the effects of seasonal threats.
