Fight the Flu Natural Way

Unfortunately, last year I became very ill and took three days off work. This is highly unusual for me and I went to the doctor on the second day to get a medical certificate.

The doctor ordered some blood tests. I increased my use of essential oils, especially the antiviral and antibacterial oils. I was diffusing them constantly, took some internally (I can only do this with therapeutic grade oils) and dropped them on my chest, pillows and clothes.

I was diagnosed with glandular fever. I was well enough to go back to work on the forth day. My supervisor at the time could not believe how quickly I recovered as her sister had been diagnosed with glandular fever and she had six weeks off work!

I believe daily use of essential oils reduced my chance of getting very sick. I have not been sick since then. My natural way to fight illness is:

• Wash my hands with essential oil infused hand wash - hygiene is so important to minimise the spread of disease.
• Use essential oils on my body everyday - I change my oils to match my mood, keeping the antiviral ones handy in case I come across someone who is sick.
• Add essential oils to my washing.
• Diffuse antiviral and antibacterial essential oils regularly.
• Clean the house with natural products such as bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar, with added antiviral/antibacterial essential oils.

We all know that swine flu is a very real threat around the world at the moment. At a recent event in Ecuador, Gary Young (founder of Young Living) described the following as part of a prevention regimen:

"On your feet, Valor, Highest Potential and Joy oils are all good. But even better is Thieves, and you can even add an extra drop of Oregano oil." (Thanks Artemis for this quote from your Oils Bulletin. If you would like the full regimen as quoted by Gary please contact me).

I only use therapeutic grade essential oils. I actually want to get the therapeutic benefits!

Sore Throat

Cold

Cough

If applying to skin: Remember skin test first and only use therapeutic grade essential oils directly on the skin. DO NOT try this with any other oil.

Please check with health care professional and/or consult the Essential Oils Desk Reference for safety information.

PLEASE NOTE: I only use pure therapeutic grade essential oil from Young Living. You can order from my store or contact me for more information.

Cool Stuff...

Do you have a health issue or something going on in your life and want to see what oils other people are using?

There is a fantastic website called Oil Testamonials.

I highly recommend this website! You can search testimonials and you can even have a look at the testimonials I have added or join (free registration) and add your own testamonials.

Are you wondering how I built my website and sent my e-zine? I did it all myself with no prior technical skills! The secret is Site Build It!

Bliss Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil Blend Of the Month...THIEVES

Thieves is a unique blend containing a range of highly antiviral, antiseptic and antibacterial essential oils.

Thieves also smells great. Many people have commented when I have worn it out (to protect myself during the flu season) and asked about the beautiful perfume I was wearing.

The Essential Oils Desk Reference states that the results of one study using Thieves "showed a 90 percent reduction in the number of gram positive Micrococcus luteus organisms after diffusing for 12 minutes. After 20 minutes of diffusing, the kill rate jumed to 99.3 percent."

Ingredients:

Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Rosemary.

Precautions:

Could possibly result in skin irritation and dilution may be necessary.

Do not use on children younger than 18 months of age.

Use with caution during pregnancy.

Uses:

According to Carolyn L. Mein, ( Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils ) Thieves essential oil blend can be used for uncertainty.

I put a drop of Thieves on my thymus gland (the thymus gland is located just below the throat on the upper chest. You will feel a slight fatty lump under the skin. The thymus gland is located under this) when I am not feeling 100 percent. I usually feel back to normal within the hour.

Thieves can be diffused in a room where you want to provide an anti-microbal barrier. If anyone is sic in the house, this is an ideal time to diffuse or diffuse any time you feel like you want to give the household an immunity boost.

Well we have come to the end of this edition of Essential Bliss. I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it...
