You can fight colds and flu with essential oils! Now, I’m not allowed to tell you it’s a cure because the FDA hasn’t approved my comments, so we’ll use terms like “boosting your immune system”, and “strengthening your body, ” or “helping your body fight off bacteria and virus growth.” Because that’s exactly what this does!!…Amazingly!
What’s exciting is that today I’m going to give you 3 Things:
- An amazing essential oil blend for strengthening your body when you are sick.
- Plus, an opportunity to buy the blend from my shop if you so desire.
- A GIVEAWAY of, not one, but TWO essential oils from Mountain Rose Herbs!!!!
So first….the amazing blend (the “Fight Cold and Flu with Essential Oils” blend)!!!
Natural Cold and Flu Remedy with Essential Oils
Oils Used:
- Oregano
- Frankincense
- Cloves
- Ravensara
- Black Cumin Seed
- Hyssop
These are no mamsy pamsy oils. I chose these because they are POTENT. Other blends out there to fight colds and flu (you know what they are) include lemon, rosemary, and eucalyptus essential oils. While these are fabulous oils that I use almost daily for various things. They are NOT my “go to” oils for when we are getting sick. They go well (because they are cheaper and smell nice) with cloves and cinnamon, which are the real power in those name brand blends.
In my blend I have spoken with herbalists and discovered that anyone who truly uses oils and herbs for health on a regular basis keeps hyssop, oregano, cloves, and the other oils above at hand at all times.
I have done plenty of research, so here’s the fruit of my labor:
Immune Boosting Blend
- 10 drops Hyssop Essential Oil
- 10 drops Ravensara Essential Oil
- 5 drops Oregano Essential Oil
- 15 drops Black Cumin Seed Oil
- 10 drops Frankincense Essential Oil
- 5 drops Cloves Essential Oil
- 15ml Carrier oil to dilute these oils before use (jojoba, sweet almond oil, etc)
- Combine all essential oils in a 15 ml (.5 oz carrier oil) bottle.
- Dilute with carrier oil by filling the bottle. This makes a 10% dilution which is powerful. You must use it responsibly.
- Place 3 drops on the bottom of each foot (do not take internally) twice a day as needed, and/or place a few drops in your diffuser. You can also inhale 3 long breaths 3x a day while sick.
DO go see a doctor if you need to.
DO NOT take internally.
DO NOT use on children under 5.
DO NOT use if pregnant.
DO NOT think I’m a doctor. I’m just someone like you who has done a lot of reading and spoken to some smart people.
