Essential Oils and the Common Cold

The weather has finally warmed up nicely here and summer is right on our doorstep. What a time to come down with a cold! Time to reach for the essential oils.

I have a couple of different blends on the go at the moment, one in a cream base to apply to my nose and chest to clear all the passages, another to spray as a disinfectent on my hands to keep the source of infection down and another to mist around myself to clear the air.

I had family visiting over the weekend and one of them had a cold, I didn't expect to get it myself but yesterday the symptoms started. On my website there is a more indepth article on Aromatherapy and the Common Cold. Also check out Blends for the Common Cold.

Diffuser blend I'm using myself today: Thyme linalool 3 drops, Ginger 2 drops, Lemon 5 drops.
