Winter is not only a time of snowy pleasures and the joy of opening Christmas presents, but also a time of annoying diseases. If you've recently been hit with respiratory infections like the flu and cold, we've got great solutions ready to help you on your way to health.
Battling a cold or flu? Then maybe this time with a larger amount of tea and the pills prescribed by your doctor, try also with essential oils.
Which 6 essential oils should you try when you have a cold or flu?
Peppermint essential oil
According to opinion Andrea Barone, the founder of the company Crystal Hills, which deals in skin care, peppermint essential oil is essential in the fight against insidious disease. Just a few drops of oil should stimulate the activity of white blood cells, which destroy flu and cold viruses.
Rosemary essential oil
Barone states that rosemary oil has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. It can be used mainly in the treatment of headaches, pain in various parts of the body, bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory diseases. Among other things, he recommends adding a few drops of oil to water in a spray bottle and using the resulting liquid to scent the room.
Menthol essential oil
What to do when you have a cough that causes chest tightness? Linette Carriere from the company Soot Natural Wellness recommends a menthol-based oil that temporarily soothes the airways.
Essential oil of American straw and licorice root
The combination of American straw and bare-stemmed licorice sounds strange at first glance, but that doesn't mean it won't solve your problems. Linette advises to spray the oil in the mouth for 6 days in a row. Thus, it is said to help soothe a sore throat.
Eucalyptus essential oil
While recovering from the flu, the individual also has to deal with difficulty breathing. Susan Griffin-Black, co-founder of the company EO Products, is a proponent of eucalyptus essential oil. It is recommended to put a few drops on the floor in the shower cabin. Then open the hot water valve and let it run for a few minutes. Your bathroom will soon smell of refreshing eucalyptus.
Essential oil of ginger, juniper and lavender
You can add a few drops of ginger, juniper and lavender essential oils to warm water. A varied combination can have a beneficial effect on your health.
