The Best Essential Oil Blends for Respiratory Health & Wellness: Which One Suits Your Needs?
When it comes to respiratory health, we often take breathing for granted—until issues like congestion, asthma, or respiratory infections make every breath a challenge. Essential oil blends, crafted from nature’s finest ingredients, can provide soothing relief, helping you breathe easier. At Edens Garden, we offer a variety of essential oil blends designed specifically for respiratory support, such as Deep Breath and Breathe Easier. But with several blends to choose from, how do you know which one is best for your needs?
We understand that not all essential oils work the same for everyone, which is why we’ve curated different blends to address the same concerns. Each person's body chemistry is unique, and factors like scent preference and how the oils interact with your system can influence the effectiveness of a blend. In this guide, we’ll explore the key differences between our respiratory health blends to help you find the perfect match for your wellness routine.
What Essential Oil is Good for Wellness?
When it comes to wellness, certain essential oils stand out for their ability to support both physical and emotional health. If you're looking for the best essential oil blends for wellness, respiratory health blends like Deep Breath or Common Cold Aid are excellent choices. These blends are specifically formulated to promote easier breathing and provide relief from congestion, asthma, and seasonal allergies. The powerful combination of oils like Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Rosemary opens airways and soothes irritated respiratory systems, helping you breathe deeply and feel more at ease.
Beyond respiratory support, essential oils for stress relief such as Lavender, Bergamot, and Chamomile are key players in reducing tension and calming the mind.[1] Meanwhile, oils like Lemon, Tea Tree, and Frankincense are known as essential oils for immune support, helping to protect the body from harmful pathogens and boosting overall vitality. By choosing the right essential oil blend for your specific needs—whether it's respiratory wellness, stress relief, or immune support—you can take a holistic approach to your health and well-being.
What is The Most Healing Essential Oil?
When it comes to healing, Frankincense is often considered one of the most powerful and versatile essential oils. Known for its anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and calming properties, Frankincense supports both physical and emotional healing. It can soothe respiratory issues, reduce stress, and even promote cellular regeneration, making it a go-to ingredient in many top essential oil blends, including Edens Garden’s Breathe In, Breathe Out blend.
For those seeking more specialized benefits, different blends offer targeted healing. If you're in need of a boost, essential oils for energy like Peppermint and Lemon can invigorate your senses and improve mental clarity.[2] On the other hand, essential oil blends for relaxation often include soothing oils like Lavender, Chamomile, and Ylang Ylang, helping to calm the mind and ease tension.[3]

BREATHE EASIER
Ingredients:
- Lemon
- Peppermint
- Eucalyptus
- Rosemary
If you enjoy the aroma of OTC vapor rubs, Breathe Easier is for you. This four-ingredient miracle blend has been a staple for Edens Garden fans for years. It acts to improve immunity, fight bacteria and microbes while dispelling mucus and coughs. Not coincidentally, this blend is a favorite when cold and flu season rolls around.
BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT

- Silver Fir
- Lavender
- Lemon
- Frankincense
- Sweet Marjoram
- Lime
- Roman Chamomile
- Vetiver
- Damiana
- Ginger

Formulated to allow optimal inhales and exhales, Breathe In, Breathe Out is immensely effective, yet gentle enough to be used on kids 2+. Aside from clearing airways, there is no common denominator when it comes to the oils in this blend. Derived from fir needles, flower petals, citruses, resins, roots, and leaves, this blend combines the healing powers of a variety of plant types, parts, and origins, giving it an advantageous complexity.
COMMON COLD AID
Ingredients:
- Eucalyptus
- Lemon
- Tea Tree
- Peppermint
- Ravensara
Similar to Breathe Easier, Common Cold Aid is revitalizing to those with congestion, allergies, sinus problems, and general respiratory issues.

COUGH & CONGESTION RELIEF
Ingredients:
- Rosemary
- Cardamom
- Juniper Berry
- Hyssop
With an ingredient list unlike other breathing blends we offer, Cough & Congestion Relief contains complex oils that go beyond simple breath work. This blend is great for alternating between other respiratory blends to increase effectiveness and ensure your body doesn’t become immune to any one blend. Cough & Congestion Relief is recommended for minor cold and flu symptoms.
DEEP BREATH
Ingredients:
- Laurel Leaf
- Eucalyptus
- Peppermint
- Tea Tree
- Lemon
- Ravintsara
- Cardamom
Though it’s one of our newer blends for respiratory health, Deep Breath is already captivating audiences everywhere.

From serious infections to minor cold and flu, Deep Breath is a powerhouse and our top pick for some much-needed support.

I am shifting away from Young Living to Edens Garden and I am anxious to be completely away from Young Living. I am in search of an Edens Garden blend that has the ingredients in Young Living’s RC Oil. It is the only oil I have found 100% effective for my debilitating and agonizing leg, foot, and toe cramps. Can you please steer me towards an Edens Garden blend that has the ingredients contained in Young Living’s RC Oil, so I can make the switch?
Thank you so very much
Vicki
Wondering my best option if I have a sensitivity to eucalyptus? Recovering from pneumonia.
Edens Garden
Hi Melissa! You’re in luck! Respiratory Ease is still available, just under a new name – Cough & Congestion Relief. The formulation has not changed: https://www.edensgarden.com/products/cough-congestion-relief-essential-oil-blend
Melissa
Respiratory Ease was by far my favorite blend ednes garden has. My family all have inflammatory lung issues and this pil was the only thing to provide relief. I but it in bulk and am running low. I wonder which blend is comparable. I know the rosemary is known as an anti-inflammatory but amxnot sure which blend is closest to it. Please help me out. Amd consider bringing it back! Thank you.
Dawn
My favorite is deep breath. I do want to try breathe in breathe out. My husband and I have ashama, COPD.. your oils work wonders.
Edens Garden
Hi Carolyn! You can find our suggestions on oils for COPD here: https://www.edensgarden.com/blogs/news/how-can-i-safely-use-essential-oils-if-i-have-copd
Carolyn
Hi, I recently started buying your products and love them. You have a lot of respiratory blends and I would like to know what eo’s you would recommend a person start with who has COPD? Thank you for your time and assistance.
Edens Garden
Hi Tarek! For congestion, opt for Sniffles & Sneezes. For sleep, try Sleepy Head 😴
Tarek
Hi there, I feel a little bit confuse and I need your help. I want to know which one of your kids products is better for congestion and which one is good to make kids feel sleepy. Thank you.

Hi Mike! On Guard is equivalent to Guardian, Breathe is equivalent to Deep Breath, Deep Blue is equivalent to Massage Therapy and Immortelle is equivalent to Age Defy. You can find our doTERRA comparison chart here: https://www.edensgarden.com/pages/comparison-chart
mike
being a long time customer of Doterra we are thinking of giving your oils a chance. My wife buys an incredible amount of their stuff monthly and I am sure the vitamins/mineral supplements and shampoo etc and other stuff you don’t sell at this point will still be purchased. However, certain individual oils and blends we would like to try. My question is if you offer and under what name would blends like On Guard and Breathe and Deep Blue and Immortelle be listed? I am sure there are other blends she buys but we use these blends the most as well as individual oils we blend ourselves. Thanks. Also is it possible to place an order over the phone in lieu of online?

Which breathing blend to use for Asthma?
Edens Garden
Hi Aliciafaye! Children 10 and older can benefit from any of these blends. However, a good place to start is with Breathe In, Breathe Out.
Aliciafaye
Which one would you recommend best for children 10 and older?

Hi Catherine! We answer this question in depth in our article about essential oils and cystic fibrosis, here: https://www.edensgarden.com/blogs/news/can-essential-oils-help-with-cystic-fibrosis-1
Catherine Greitzer
Hello!
I have a friend who has cystic fibrosis and has to do breathing treatments daily. She’s very active and smart and really an enjoyable person! I want to get her a diffuser for Christmas, a little late now, but I want to get her a good quality blend for just everyday breathing to clear her air and help her just do normal breathing in between her breathing treatments. These would be not in the place of her treatments, but just to add to the health of her home in a diffuser. Which blend would you suggest?
Thank you in advance for replying to me!
Happy Holidays to you,
Catherine
Edens Garden
Hi Amber! For respiratory issues, it’s typically better to diffuse for most cases, therefore the choice becomes yours on whether you want the oil in a blend or roll-on. Note, we also recommend checking with your doctor before using essential oils if you have a health concern. We hope this helps!
Amber
I have respiratory issues after having COVID and now having long COVID for the last six months. I am a cough, congestion, shortness of breath, and general respiratory issues that go along with it plus allergies on top of it. I am going to get Exhale, Deep Breath, and Breathe Easier. Which of these would you recommend for a diffuser and which would be best as a roll-on? Thanks!
Edens Garden
Hi Carla! Unfortunately, we cannot give the ratios to the oils in our blends as our formulas are proprietary. If you’re using the essential oils for respiratory health, we suggest using your blend in an inhaler.
Carla Haugan
I have the oils to make my own breathe easier. If I wanted to do my own blend, what concentration should I do. Also, is it better to make an inhaler or a roller? Thanks.
Edens Garden
Hi Mary! You can use any carrier oil. Our 10 ml Exhale roll-on is prediluted to 5% which equals to 10 drops of Exhale in 10 ml of carrier oil.
Mary Blackburn
I’d like to make my own roll-on with Exhale. Which carrier oil do you recommend and what recipe?
Thanks.
