How to fight, a cold!

Just a couple of nights ago I felt the all-too-familiar signs that a cold was coming on.

You know the ones, sore throat, runny nose, headache, the works. 

As a busy mum of three boys, a wife and a business owner, it’s really not a cliche to say “I don’t have time to be sick!”.

So, let me tell you what I did, and then tell you what happened.

After my kids were in bed, I raided the kitchen cabinet and found some vitamin C to chew on. While chewing, I took in a big glass of water and then I went to my oils. I applied ‘Be Well’ to my glands, Manuka oil to my throat, NEAT oregano oil to the base of my big toe and then another glass of water, then bed.

Why? 

Manuka 🍯 you can apply manuka oil directly to the skin (very sparingly) it is great for supporting your immune system. I don’t recommend ingesting this oil, but if you have a sore throat, I definitely recommend rolling it on your neck (think about where your sore throat is). I personally feel the effects in a few short minutes. 

Oregano 🌿  is one of the most potent and powerful essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional practices. Oregano essential oil is a very hot oil, so care must be taken when applying this oil to your skin. You will note above that I did apply this oil NEAT (undiluted) to the base of my big toe, and this is the only place I would do that. Otherwise I would suggest dilution before topical application. Oregano essential oil is an antimicrobial, it supports a healthy immune system and is a powerful cleansing and purifying agent.  

Water 💦 so necessary to flush our body of toxins

Rest 🛌 so important to help heal our bodies

What happened? 

When I woke up the next day I had no hint of the symptoms I was displaying the night before. I chose to repeat the above cycle the next two nights just to make sure I was fighting this old, and I won! 

Isn’t it time you tried oils to help your health?

Here is to a winter free of colds 👌
