Top 10 Essential Oils For Flu Season

February 27, by Shellie Wilson. 1 Comment

 

This list of essential oils are the perfect remedy for your cold or flu. They may not cure your cold but they sure will alleviate the symptoms. This list is a great starting point for trying DIY and homemade remedy for your cold and or flu. Treating the symptoms can help ease the pain and discomfort associated with the flu.
1. Oregano oil is one of the best natural remedies if your immune system is under attack by a cold virus, the flu, respiratory infections, or any other illnesses. This is due to its expectorant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiseptic, and antioxidant properties

2. Thyme

Thyme is antiviral, a decongestant that fights fatigue and is an antidepressant which makes it a perfect essential oil for colds and the flu.

 

3. Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is also used to create a cool compress to reduce fever. Clears the sinuses and is an antiseptic.

 

4. Lime

Antiseptic, antibacterial and antiviral.

5. Frankincense

Frankincense oil is said to be a natural remedy for the lungs so it is perfect for coughs.

6. Peppermint

Peppermint oil is great for digestion and upset stomachs, it’s beneficial to the respiratory system.

7.Basil

Apply basil essential oil to fatigued or sore muscles and joints to relieve swelling and pain.

8. Lemon

Lemon essential oil, with its high vitamin content, helps boost the body’s immune system and stimulates the production of white blood cells, thereby increasing your ability to fight off illness.

 

9. Clove

Known for its toothache-remedying powers, clove oil is also anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-bacterial. It’s often mixed with cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, lemon and rosemary in a blend called Thieves Oil. Or mix with vanilla and use it in this DIY body oil.

    How do you use them? Ingest (so they should be food grade-is that the correct term?), diffuser, topical? A little more information would be helpful.
