A Grandmas Blend

softly stirring their beds,
the gentle snore of calm.

the diffuser soothes the senses -
a grandma’s blend of lemon,
eucalyptus, peppermint, basil,
tea tree and rosemary.

allowing winsome dreams to croon
after the forgetful fit of coughing

Lemon oil and Breathe Easy do the trick!

Wow! Kim, this sounds like a remedy right out of The Farmer's Almanac, or should I say the Grandma's Herbal Prayer Companion. I wish I had a diffuser right now, if it works for sore throats. And of course all of the herbs which I do not have. All I have is Vicks on the soles of my feet; which I had read about. Calmness and breathing easy. Great tips all around my friend.
