These Oils are ESSENTIAL!
Now more than ever it is time for us to really guard our health and essential oils are a key ingredient in safeguarding against this new virus circulating the globe.
Of course there are many practical things we can be doing, washing our hands for 20 seconds, avoiding contact with others, high doses of vitamin C, glutathione, staying home, and avoiding touching your face.I wanted to share with you about how important the role of essential oils can be in preventing the spread of virus and bacteria. To begin with, all essential oils contain anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. And because of that, they are powerful allies for wellness!
Quite a few years ago, the CDC did some pretty extensive testing with essential oils in the search to find something to counteract the increasing failure of antibiotics to address some of the more virulent viruses and bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics.
What they discovered was oregano and thyme essential oils killed off all bacteria and viruses within 60 minutes of contact. And while those two oils were the strongest oils in terms of dealing with MRSA, strep, staph and E Coli, they are much too potent to take internally or use undiluted on the skin.
That said, I have experimented with other oils over the decades of using them, and I can tell you that all of the oils are potent antibacterial and antiviral agents. For example I use lavender oil straight on open wounds to kill off bacteria and prevent infection. I have been doing this for decades and lavender has never failed in cleaning wounds and helping them to heal due to the additional cell regenerating properties found in lavender essential oil.
With this new coronvirus afflicting the world, there has never been a more important time to keep your essential oils at hand. I carry a bottle of oils with me, called Breath of Life, and use them frequently when I am out in the world. The blend contains, eucalyptus, rosemary, frankincense, camphor, wintergreen, thyme, and peppermint. I have made the blend potent, 50% oils and 50% carrier oil. Once I’ve rubbed it into my hands, I then put a couple more drops in the palm of my hand and inhale deeply to get the aromatic molecules into my respiratory system. I am also massaging into the reflex points of the feet to boost the immunity in the lungs.
I want to also recommend a product that I’ve been using for years at any onset of symptoms of a cold or flu, and it’s prevented any flu from developing. Gaia Herbs makes a product that supports the immune system called Oil of Oregano, capsules that contain oregano and the ingredients of carvacol and thymol, properties found in both oregano and thyme.
Essential oils are one of the most powerful tools we have to combat this virus, make sure you use them much more often than usual. And have them on hand all the time now.
This is also a good time to really go inside, literally and figuratively and do everything you can to keep your frequency as high as possible. Meditation, prayer, yoga, and all the calming and reflective practices to keep stress levels low, avoid negative thinking and surround yourself with things that make you happy.
Again, make sure your diffuser is being used frequently to kill off any bacteria or virus in your home. I also recommend leaving your shoes at the door, so you are not carrying any virus or bacteria into your home. Essential oils are allies that have been with us for thousands of years, and used as medicine in the ancient days. Now more than ever before we must call on our allies to keep us healthy and strong!
Wishing you abundant and radiant good health!
