Essential Oil Throat Blends
This might be one of my most practical natural wellness recipes! It’s easy and it actually doesn’t taste bad. It helps me out whether I’m fighting seasonal or environmental threats – or if I just have no idea what I’m dealing with and I need some extra support! This essential oil throat blend is sure to be one of your new favorites. If you prefer a spray over a syrup, try my Throat Spray recipe below.
Note: Not all Essential Oils are created equally. Do your research! 100% Pure does not mean that you are getting a high quality essential oil. My family chose doTERRA essential oils because of their high Certified Pure Tested Grade standards. It’s the only brand of essential oils I would consider using internally.

Would this work just as well If I added it all to a cup of hot water and made a tea of it?
Yes absolutely!
Perfect! Thank you so much!
I just made a tea… careful of your lips when you drink as peppermint likes to tingle.
Not bad tasting at all – I did increase the honey to a tablespoon.
Safe for a 13 year old?
I would be comfortable using this recipe on my child at 13. I reduce the recipe for my preschoolers though – they get just honey and lemon essential oil.
How often should you use this recipe? Once a day?
I use this recipe as needed!
