Essential Oils for Winter
I had used oils for years when my sister finally stocked up and got her own! She would consistently call me and ask what to use for her son’s cough, or snotty nose, or when one of her kids was starting to get sick and she wanted to try to beat it to the punch…but the thing was, she only had Lavender! Which is an amazing oil and does A LOT of things, but it’s not one that I grab for immune support.
When it comes to oils, you can’t use what you don’t have! So having a good line up ready for when you need to support all little people, yourself, and man colds during cold and flu season is HUGE!
While we do all we can to be proactive supporting our immune systems, sometimes we need extra support for specific needs. Here's what I make sure we always have on hand this time of year:
-RC-For all things respiratory. Great diffused or dropped in the shower! (Raven is also a great alternative to RC!)
-Thieves-The rockstar of immune support! Diffuse it to clean the air in your house and boost immune systems. This is also the main oil in my “Wellness Roller” that gets rolled on everyone’s feet in the morning and at bedtime all year long! 10 drops Thieves, 10 drops Lemon, 8 drops Frankincense and top with a carrier oil!
-Lemon-Fantastic for detox...I love in in my Thieves Tea, I add it to Epsom salts for a detox bath.
-Frankincense-Frank is so great for overall health!
-Digize (Tummygize for kids) - For unhappy tummies (with too much or not enough happening) AND also helps break up chest congestion.
-Cypress- For that elephant on your chest, crud in your lungs feeling. Great for wet coughs.
-Breathe Again or Snifflease (prediluted for kids)-Great diffused or applied to help clear the airways and restore breathing!!
-Thieves Cough/Throat drops-They are delicious, made with Thieves, and super soothing!
-Thieves Chest Rub-Think Vick’s but without the questionable ingredients. It smells SO GOOD and is easy to drop oils with and apply to chest or between the shoulder blades.
-Super C-During the fall and winter I usually take one of these a day or every other day...but when I feel something coming on I take two a day!
-Ningxia-This is full of antioxidants and a great support for your body to reduce free radicals. It’s a whole body supplement!
-Inner Defense-I'm SO happy to have this supplement in my arsenal, it’s not one I use for kids, but always have it on hand when I feel anything trying to creep in. It's a blend of clove, lemon, eucalyptus, rosemary, cinnamon, oregano, thyme, and lemongrass.
-Marjoram and Copaiba - The snot stoppers! Diffused or applied over the sinuses, these two are really helpful to dry up snot!
-Peace and Calming + Copaiba- if you get dry coughs in your house, calming oils are going to be your best friend to help calm the respiratory system!
-Immupro - I will never be without this supplement. We use it as needed to support immune systems sometimes proactively and always to help shorten sickness! It also has melatonin which allows for good sleep, even if there’s congestion etc. I do a half for my big kids (7 and 9) and a quarter for my little one (4) and a whole for adults.
-Lavender, Purification, and Peppermint - to drain ears and help reduce ear infections. Check out this video for the ear drainage method!
