Proven Essential Oil Strategies for Preventing Cold and Flu

I want to share 5 essential oils for cold and flu that have been researched and proven to help you stay well and feel better faster if you do get sick.

You can make so many helpful blends with just these 5 oils!

I'll also explain WHY these oils are so effective and share ideas and recipes that can help you start enhancing your immunity right away.

5 favorite essential oils for cold and flu prevention + why they work:

• Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
  Contains terpinen-4-ol, a potent natural component for reducing germs
  

• Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia)
  Rich in nourishing linalyl acetate, shown to calm stress and inflammation

• Eucalyptus Oil (Eucalyptus radiata)
  Famous for high quantities of 1,8-cineole, which can help clear congestion
  

• Frankincense Oil (Boswellia carterii)
  High in ɑ-pinene, known to reduce germs and soothe inflammation

• Green Mandarin Oil (Citrus reticulata)
  Full of d-limonene, proven to support immunity and reduce germs

While these aren’t the only oils you can use to stay well and prevent colds & flu, they are a great place to start. These oils are well-researched and incredibly popular for their wide range of therapeutic benefits. 

How can you use these essential oils to boost immunity?

There are many ways you can use these incredible oils to stay well.

Here are just a few ideas to help you get started: 

• Create an inhaler using 6 drops of eucalyptus oil and 10 drops of green mandarin oil, to carry with you and use throughout the day. (It fits right in your pocket!)

• Diffuse 5 drops of frankincense oil and 5 drops of green mandarin oil to help purify the air and reduce germs.
