SOME AWESOME INFORMATION, ESP THIS TIME OF YEAR! One of the greatest benefits of essential oils is the many ways to quickly kick the common cold. Here’s a surefire way to stop that cold when you start to feel it coming on. Add the following to an empty gel capsule (you can get them from a health food store or order them from Doterra): 1 drop of Frankincense 2 drops of Oregano 3 drops of On Guard 4 drops of Peppermint Take one capsule every four hours until your cold is gone. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you recover. For the past two years, I have been using doTERRA essential oils on my family when illness has hit our home instead of cough syrups, fever reducers, & pain relievers. Guess what? My natural remedies really work! I no longer have to worry about the harmful side effects that can come from using synthetic products. I would like to share with you my favorite home remedies for colds and flu. The first step to take with ANY illness is to give your family OnGuard Oil immediately. This can be done by simply dropping 3 drops of OnGuard under the tongue (it is a hot oil, you may need to add coconut oil for small children) or have them take 4 drops of OnGuard & Lemon in a empty gel capsule. *OnGuard Oil is a blend of cinnamon, clove, rosemary, and wild orange and has several studies showings its effectiveness in fighting off viral infections. A recently published study in the US National Library of medicine shows that OnGuard oil is effective against H1N1 virus. Cold and Flu Remedies Coughs- I apply 3 drops of Breathe Oil, Rosemary, or Myrrh Oil to the chest and feet. I diffuse the room with Breathe Oil at night. The OnGuard Throat Drops are great to use during the day while at school or work. * A diffuser is a like a humidifier, but made for essential oils. Essential oils can eat through the plastic of humidifiers. A diffuser will fill your home with a wonderful aroma of your choice while killing airborne pathogens. Your candle cant do that! :) The lotus diffuser can be purchased from Doterra. It’s a quality diffuser—I have been running it in my office 8 hours/day, 5 days a week and Its still going strong! You also can purchase diffusers online. Runny Nose- I rub a small amount of Lavender Oil under each nostrils and also on the bottom of the feet. Lavender Oil is a natural antihistamine. If your child is old enough to swallow a capsule, give them 3 drops of Lavender, Lemon, & Peppermint in a capsule daily. Sore Throat- I drop 3 drops of Lemon Oil on the tongue and swish it around or place 2 drops of Lemon oil & 2 drops of Melaleuca Oil in a small amount of warm water and gargle it. Fever- remember that fevers are the bodys way of fighting off the cold/flu naturally. We tend to treat a fever as the enemy when it is actually a friend, unless it spikes too high. Peppermint Oil rubbed on the feet every two hours will naturally bring down a fever. I also rub it behind the neck. Use coconut oil on small children with sensitive skin. Aches- When a family member complains of aches, I will do the spinal technique on them. Most bacteria and viruses tend to camp out in your spine, by doing this technique, you will be drawing attention to the problem and taking care of it. This is great to do with any illness and everybody loves a back rub! · apply coconut oil down the spine · follow with 4 drops of Oregano Oil · add 4 drops of AromaTouch Oil · end with 4 drops of Peppermint Oil · hot compress with a rice or bean pad for 10 minutes Stomach Issues- Digestzen Oil will be your best friend! Apply 2-3 drops on your abdomen or take 4 drops in an empty gel capsule 3 times daily. Earaches- Rub 1-2 drops of Basil Oil, Lavender Oil, and Melaleuca Oil around the ear. Place drops on a cotton ball and place in ear. Never drop oils directly in the ear canal. All studies prove that antibiotics are not effective for most ear infections.
