8 Ways to Fight Cold and Flu Season With Thieves Oil
1. Prevent illness by boosting your immunity:
I like to Rub Thieves oil onto the bottoms of my feet to boost immunity, especially if I have been exposed to an illness. Be sure to dilute with a carrier oil for children. I rub it on my little one’s feet before she goes to preschool.
2. Purify the air:
We diffuse Thieves Oil with a home diffuser to kill airborne bacteria. We diffuse constantly when someone in the household is sick or we have been exposed. I recently ordered a second diffuser for my home.
3. Hand sanitizer:
Purify and cleanse little hands without harsh chemicals by using a Thieves Oil hand sanitizer. Young Living sells one on their website, or you can make your own easily at home with aloe vera gel, Thieves Oil, and a titch of water to thin it out.
4. Household cleaning:
Keep your counter tops and other surface clean with a simple Thieves Oil cleaner. I like to add 5-6 drops of Thieves Oil to water in a spray bottle. That’s it. You can use this on any surface. It is recommended to use glass spray bottles for essential oils. Empty apple cider vinegar bottles work well for this.
5. Throat discomfort:
I dilute a drop of Thieves Oil in carrier oil and gently massage over neck and throat anytime I feel any discomfort in my throat coming on. I will also gargle with 1 drop of Thieves oil in water 2-3 times per day. This has been my most effective way to use Thieves Oil.
6. Respiratory support:
I like to dilute Thieves Oil with a carrier oil and massage over my chest and lower back when I have a cough. Adding a warn compress over the chest for a few minutes will amplify the effect. I diffuse Thieves Oil as well.
7. Sanitize dishes:
Clean and disinfect your kitchen by adding a couple drops of Thieves Oil to your dishwasher or dish water in the sink. No need for harmful chemicals to keep your family safe.
