Preventing a Cold with Essential Oils

Preventing A Cold With Essential Oils

Essential oils can offer a natural, fragrant, and effective option to take steps to prevent colds. The essential oils offer your immune system a boost. Following is a recipe that I use in the winter time.

Essential Oils Shopping List
  • A Protective Blend
  • Peppermint
  • Lemon
  • Oregano
  • and an essential oil blend containing: orange, clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary offer a fragrant, natural and effective alternative to synthetic options for immune support.
Protocol
  1. Blend the essential oils. 
  2. Diffuse in rooms most occupied, like in bedrooms overnight.
  3. Apply 1-2 drops of the protective blend on bottoms of feet, behind ears, and on chest. Dilute with coconut oil if skin is sensitive.
  4. Drink 1 drop Peppermint and 1 drop Lemon in 8 ounces hot water to boost immunity, aid gut health, and boost energy.
  5. Protective essential oil blends can ward off illness if you act as soon as you feel the first signs of getting sick. The oil helps reduce the severity of the sickness if you act after you are sick.
