Peppermint oil has helped my man and I a lot! Jon likes to come home after his 11-13 hour work days and get a rub down with a Peppermint oil and V6 mixture. I use it to open up my nose because no matter the time of year my air ways like to give me trouble. I hear RC is great for opening up airways but since I'm allergic to pine, I can not use it. Be smart, if you are allergic to any plant be sure to read the ingredients before using any oil blends.
