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 2 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.
So first….the amazing blend (the “Fight Cold and Flu with Essential Oils” blend)!!!
Natural Cold and Flu Remedy with Essential Oils
Oils Used:
I chose these essential oils because they are potent. Other essential oil blends out there to fight colds and flu include lemon, rosemary, and eucalyptus essential oils. While these are fabulous oils that I use very often 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.
For 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:
