Defense Against Cold and Flu

[Heidi Mazur]

Every year, the cold and flu season affects each and every one of us. The virus spreads very fast and affects people whose immune systems are weak. When we don’t feel good, our productivity is lower and our mood is down low.

Each year:

- There are more than 5 billion cases of the common cold

- There are more than 1 billion cases of the flu

- There are $300 billion in healthcare costs and lost productivity

- There are more than 500,000 deaths that are associated with cold and flu viruses

 

What are we to do?

There are many nutritional supplements, over the counter remedies, prescriptions, and immunizations that we can do. The fact is that there is no cure. The best thing to do is to make sure that you keep your immune system top notch by eating healthy and staying hydrated.

 

Essential Oils can help

There are some essential oils that are effective in the defense of the cold and flu. The oils are antiviral, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiparasitic, and anti-inflammatory. They are the following:

- Thieves blend

    o Cinnamon bark

    o Clove – contains eugenol – kills over 60 different types of bacteria, 15 strains

           of fungi, and several viruses

    o Eucalyptus radiata

    o Rosemary

    o Lemon

- Oregano – contains carvacrol – kills intestinal parasites

- Thyme – contains thymol – kills over 80 different strains of bacteria and

    15 different types of fungi

- Citronella – contains citronellal and linalool –kills fungi
There are three main defense functions to shorten the recovery time:

   1. Attack and eliminate invading viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites before they

        get a chance to multiply.

   2. Rapidly diminish the rate of multiplication by killing the spreading invaders.

   3. Create a bio terrain that reduces the hospitality of the host to the invading

        microbes, while enhancing the health-generating functions of the respiratory,

        circulatory, and immune systems.
There are softgels that you can take called Inner Defense that contain these oils.

All of these oils can be diffused with a cold air diffuser. Diffusing Thieves kills over 99.96% of certain microbes (bacteria) when diffused in the air within 12 minutes.
