It seems that nearly everyone I know has been either fighting or
recovering from a cold or flu these last few weeks. And many of
my clients have been asking how essential oils can help them
prevent or heal their illnesses. There are a few things you can
do to prevent yourself from catching a bad cold:
· Diffuse eucalyptus essential oil at home to clean and purify
the air. · Take a "winter bath" once or twice a week with the
following aromatherapy blend to boost your immune system and
keep you healthy during the chilly winter!
In a 10-ml bottle, pour the essential oils first and then add an
organic vegetable oil to fill:
· 15 drops of Ravensara · 8 drops of Rosemary · 6 drops of
Thyme officinalis

Pour a big package of Epsom Salts into the bathtub and add your
aromatic blend. Make sure you allow at least 20 minutes to
breathe in the vapors, adding more hot water as needed to keep
steaminess at a maximum. Wrap yourself warmly when you get out,
and enjoy a hot herbal tea prepared with Echinacea and Ginseng.
Do you already feel a cold coming on? Have you been experiencing
chills, mild fever, headache, stuffy nose, dry sore throat, and
fatigue? To help you battle your cold or flu, take a hot bath
with the following aromatic recipe once or twice a day if
necessary.

steaminess at a maximum. Wrap yourself warmly when you get out,
then treat yourself to a good hot soup such as Miso Green Onion,
Hot and Sour (Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai), or good ol' Chicken
Soup.
Don't underestimate the power of soup! In one study,
participants who consumed chicken soup experienced an increase
in the flow of nasal secretions (when compared to just plain hot
and cold water). The taste and aroma is believed to be part of
the therapy, as well as the inhalation of the vapors. In another
study, researchers found that chicken soup had anti-inflammatory
properties, even when extremely diluted.
Also, drink plenty of orange juice (rich in Vitamin C) and
purchase echinacea-goldenseal tincture that you will take
according to the directions on the bottle.
But foremost...rest, rest, rest!
