Winter is coming and the weather is cooling, here we will take a look at some essential oils you can use through various methods of applications. Yes here I go again, if in doubt do not use or consult with a qualified Aromatherapist! Always research the contra-indications so you will know when NOT to use them.

When using essentials oils to help reduce the risk of catching a cold I highly recommend a diffuser, they are not cheap however they are very effective. You simply place neat essential oils (10-20 drops) in and turn them on for about 15 mins every 3 hours or so. Research has found that the essential oil molecules stay floating in the air for up to 4 hours. (use 3-5 oils in a blend)

Inhalations either dry or steam are very effective for clearing congestion in your sinus cavities, reducing inflammation and headaches, lowering temperature and boosting your immune.

foot baths are used for headaches, reducing tired aching muscles.

Full body baths for aching body from flu and cold symptoms, relaxing, lowering and raising body temperature, boosting the immune. oils to use in the diffuser, citrus are excellent anti-septic, rosemary, basil, sandalwood, myrtle, eucalyptus, tea tree, ravensara, lavender, peppermint, juniper, cypress, fragonia,rosewood. they are all good Bug Busters!
