Are you prepared to keep your family healthy this season? 6 Essential Oils for Winter Thieves oil. Thieves is a blend of essential oils including Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon bark, Eucalyptus and Rosemary. It is really awesome at supporting our immune systems. I rub 2-3 drops undiluted on the bottoms of our feet and on our spines daily. I also diffuse it into the air using a cool mist diffuser about 2-3 times per day for about 15 minutes each during the winter cold season. R.C. Blend oil. I talked quite a bit about R.C. blend in my homemade vapor rub recipe post so I will not repeat myself here. While dealing with hacking, we used the vapor rub on the chest and feet every few hours. I also diffused the R.C. along with the Thieves oil a few times a day for about 15 minutes each time. ImmuPower oil. I recently purchased this oil for the sole purpose of strengthening our immune systems during this season. It is also a blend of oils including Citrus, Frankincense, Oregano, Idaho Tansy, Cumin, Clove, Hyssop, Ravintsara, and Mountain Savory. This oil smells like tacos and pizza together but the smell has actually very much grown on me. I am rubbing a couple of drops on our feet twice daily. Breathe Again (roll-on). Breathe Again is a supercharged version of R.C. blend which can plow through stuffy noses and the incessant nasal drip with ease. It really encourages proper nasal function! and I am very thankful I had some on hand. Within 30 seconds of rubbing this Breathe Again blend on my chest, I could breathe easier in my chest and through my nose! Frankincense oil. I have found this to be helpful remedy for healthy lung function because it just takes away that tightness. I rubbed a drop onto my chest along with our homemade vapor rub 3-4 times a day. I also did this on my daughter at night. It really helped to also open my lungs and allowed us to stop hacking. This was also helpful for wheezing. Lemon oil: I rubbed this around my ears and up my throat and immediately felt relief because it allowed them to drain. It can feel hot on some people so simply add 2 drops of the Lemon oil to a bit of coconut oil (or olive oil or ghee) to dilute it and then rub that mixture in. 8 Ways to Fight Cold and Flu Season With Thieves Oil 1.
