It is here…cold and flu season. Now what do we do?!
There are definitely ways to
get it before it gets us and also natural ways to support our bodies in
fighting us in the cases when it does get us.
Here are some recommendations that I personally
use myself and for my clients:
In
1 teaspoon of Carrier Oil (eg. coconut-fractionated almond, olive) add 5 drops
of Shield Synergy
Blend (Basil, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Ginger, Lavender, Lemon, Orange,
Peppermint, & Ravensara)

and use as a chest and back rub. This oil is warming and feels great when
applied. Just make sure you dilute it, as it is concentrated.
Sheild is a great wellness formula that supports
the respiratory tract, boost the immune system, has anti-viral effects and its uplifting
of mood and energy levels, helps with
body aches and much more!
It is also great to add to a diffuser or a
spray bottle to kill air pathogens.
Another excellent oil to add to your box is Clove Bud Essential
Oil. It has the highest anti-oxidant capability of any essential oil! Its
primary natural chemical component is eugenol.
Now what does this mean?
What
it means is that it is highly anti-bacterial,
pain relieving, warming.
The essential oils of Clove &
Rosemary have been tested in studies and possessed significant antimicrobial effects against Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli,
Candida albicans, and tuberculosis bacillus.
You
may try diluting 2 drops of clove Bud Essential Oil in 1 teaspoon of carrier oil
and massage lightly around the neck to help support the lymphatic nodes during
a cold/flu.

Let
us not forget that everything starts from within, so we have to make our bodies
well from the inside. These are some of my favorite supplements to have on hand,
not only to treat flu, but can be taken year round to keep our immune system
strong to fight anything in our way:
Isotonix® Vitamin C
You
can find it at: http://www.shop.com/fsantiago/561800360-p+260.xhtml?vid=214196
Isotonix® OPC-3®
Isotonix OPC-3® is an isotonic-capable food
supplement that is made from a combination of bilberry, grape seed, red wine
and pine bark extracts, and citrus extract bioflavonoids, all found to be
powerful antioxidants. The most powerful
antioxidants available!
Ultimate Aloe® Juice
Supports
a strong immune system!
There
you have it everyone. These are great ways to help your body from the inside
and out during cold & flu season. I will be happy to answer any questions
or comments you may have.
