IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOST

During fall and winter, our immune systems are weakened through bad indoor air, polluted outdoor air, less sunshine (and Vitamin D), and exposure to the harsh elements.

Cold, dry winter air is hard on our sinuses and makes it easier for bacteria and viruses to take advantage, bringing on colds and flus.

Also, if you have children in school, they get exposed to several colds and flus very easily with their naïve immune systems and poor handwashing habits!

Here are a few ways we use essential oils to help support our immune systems so that they can fight off any colds, coughs, and bugs that may come our way:

This oil will act as a barrier against fungi, viruses and bacteria, fighting skin infection. Great for fighting flu and cold symptoms because of its antiseptic properties. If a cold has set in you can use the steam inhalation method and the oil will ease breathing as well as the congestion.
