Essential Oils: Part 11: Illness

Over the past few days I have been fighting a cold (or virus). I haven’t used any medicine, but instead I have been carrying my oils with me wherever I go, as well as diffusing all day and I figured what better time than now to share about what oils to use when you have allergies, a cold, a cough, congestion, the flu, or respiratory or sinus problems.

What I love about oils is how versatile they are. You will notice that there are several options of oils you can choose from when you get sick and you can use most of these oils interchangeably. While diffusing is always a great option I always make a point to apply them topically. Especially to my sinuses, my chest, my temples, and the bottom of my feet.

Allergies:

• Diffuse or apply 1-2 drops onto sinuses or under feet.
• Tea Tree, Lavender, Peppermint

• Diffuse or apply 1-2 drops to throat, temples, forehead, back of neck, sinus area, chest, or feet.
• Tea Tree, Lemon, Thieves, Raven, RC
