Eucalyptus and Peppermint - Breathe in the fresh smell of eucalyptus and mint to open up your airways and help your body heal from respiratory illnesses. Blend peppermint oil and a carrier oil and place on your scalp and/or neck and temples to relieve headaches. You can spray peppermint + carrier oil all over your body to minimize aches and pain and fever. Peppermint can also alleviate nausea when rubbed on your stomach.

This blend promotes longevity and prevents premature aging. This blend also stimulates the endocrine system for greater energy flow to the right hemisphere of the brain, activating creativity, motivation and focus. This can help strengthen commitment to purpose, desire, and intentions until you realize your goals.
Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, Rosemary - This blend of oils, called Thieves, is a workhorse for colds and flus. It is the most amazing blend of highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious essential oils. Rub directly on your chest, neck, throat, behind your ears to combat seasonal illness and unknown flus.
Thyme, Oregano and Geranium - Studies are showing these oils support respiratory and lung health and have extensively been used for centuries. These oils may also be beneficial in helping to overcome fatigue and exhaustion after illness. This therapeutic mix of oils can be placed on your spine and rubbed on your back with carrier oil to assist the body’s ability to fight infection and draw out impurities.
One of the most common & effective ways to use oils is topically on your feet, spine, chest and stomach. Incorporating essential oils into your daily routine is a simple action with lots of impact on your overall wellness. Make sure to use a carrier oil of fractionated coconut oil, almond oil or jojoba to dilute strong oils to prevent skin sensitivities.
It absolutely does matter where you get your oils, so don’t just pick them up at any grocery store. Lots of oils will expire and are loaded with impure fillers even though the oil may smell good, so make sure you’re using high quality therapeutic grade essential oils for the very best health results.
