Immune Booster Essential Oil Blend

This essential oil blend is an invaluable remedy during the cold and flu season. It is useful to stimulate natural immunity or after being exposed to someone who is sick.

Recipe:

• Mix the following essential oils in a dark glass bottle with a tight-fitting lid

• 1 drop Eucalyptus radiata

• 1 drop niaouli

• 2 drops tea tree

• 2 drops ravinsara

• 3 drops Thyme linalool

• 3 drops bergamot

How to use it:

• Use as a body oil by mixing 12 drops of the Immune Booster Essential Oil Blend per 1 ounce of a fixed oil such as jojoba, almond, or grapeseed oil.

• Add 12 drops, mixed in a tablespoon of bath salts, milk, or yogurt, to a soothing bath for a cold or flu.

• Inhale directly through a tissue or used in an aromatherapy diffuser to “clean the air” if you are exposed to someone coughing or sneezing.

• You can do an intensive treatment once a week in the shower. Simply get wet and then turn the shower off. Rub a small amount of the oil blend all over your body and wait for 20 seconds before showering off. This blend is for external use only.
