Tummy Troubles Inhaler Blend
When we’re overcome with an uncomfortable stomach, possibly from being on a boat or in a car for too long, Cardamom works wonderfully in a personal aromatherapy inhaler. Add 7 drops of Cardamom, 5 drops of Ginger Root CO2, and 3 drops of Peppermint to your inhaler and use as needed for the occasional digestive upset.
