Breathe Easy Balm: a Natural Alternative to Conventional Chest Rubs
A common question in the Herb Remedy Store, what is the Breathe Easy Balm for? Simply, it is a chest rub for when congestion, coughing, or sinus pressure irritates the body. It is not uncommon to reach for an over-the-counter chest rub, but most of these contain petroleum, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives that may not be supportive to your body's healing process.
Breathe Easy Balm is a naturopath-formulated, small-batch remedy made with food-grade ingredients. With a base of eucalyptus and peppermint-infused olive oil and pure essential oils like thyme, rosemary, wintergreen, and lavender, it offers a simple, natural way to support respiratory comfort.
FIVE EASY WAYS TO USE OUR BREATHE EASY BALM
-
Chest & Neck Rub
Apply a small amount of balm to your chest and neck before bed or throughout the day. The menthol-like aroma from eucalyptus and peppermint helps open nasal passages and ease chest tightness. Gently massage in circular motions to allow absorption and activate circulation.
Bonus Tip: Add a warm compress over your chest after applying for a deeper soothing effect.
-
Under the Nose (Sinus Support)
For instant sinus relief, dab a tiny amount just below your nostrils. The gentle vapors help promote clearer airflow and ease that stuffy-nose sensation.
-
Back and Shoulders (Muscle Tension from Coughing)
Persistent coughing can lead to tight, achy muscles. Massage the balm into your upper back and shoulders to enjoy the warming, soothing benefits of wintergreen and rosemary.
-
Foot Balm at Bedtime
For nighttime comfort, apply the balm to the soles of your feet (especially during coughs or colds), then slip on some cozy socks. This old-school trick promotes relaxation and can help calm nighttime coughs.
-
Diluted use for Kids
For children under 2, you can dilute the balm with a neutral carrier like coconut oil before applying to the skin
