I have two sick kids today.. so the season begins.. Aromatherapy is a great help at preventing and easing symptoms. Here are some recipes for using essential oils at home to help prevent or ease colds and flu symptoms:
Inhalations
Boil the water in a cup and add a few drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil. Place a towel over your head, close your eyes to avoid eye irritation, and slowly inhale to take the aroma for five to ten minutes. Repeat this two or three times a day until your symptoms subside.
Chest congestion Rub
A blend of 4 drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil and 2 teaspoon of Emu oils can be used for back and chest congestion rubs. Use it twice a day.
Or you can use the blends of 3 drops of eucalyptus, 3 drops of peppermint and 3 drops of Bay Laurel with 2 ounce of olive oil to rub your neck, throat and chest.
Bath Treatment
Relieve the aches and pains associated with Cold and Flu with a nice hot soak in a therapeutic bath. Add 10 drops eucalyptus essential oils to a hot water (102° to 104°F) and soak around 15 minutes.
Take this bath before you go to bed, warm yourself after taking this bath and take a good rest.
Aromatherapy and colds Air Diffuser
You can also mix eucalyptus with thyme, rosemary and lemon and diffuse it into the room when you are having flu or cold. Only use eucalyptus only when you need to clear your cold. Long-term use of this oil has an effect on the liver.
Caution: Do not use eucalyptus oil on children under 6 years.
