Essential oils are a great natural alternative to reach for when you are needing a little extra support. Essential oils have a range of biological properties such as antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and antiseptic which can all help play a part in reducing your cold & flu symptoms.
Essential oils with expectorant properties can help reduce symptoms of the common cold and flu by clearing congestion. Try our Sinus Clear Essential Oil Blend to clear sinuses, or mix it up with the Fight the Flu Trio. Add a few drops to the bath with a carrier oil and get yourself back to full health in no time.
To ease the symptoms of cold and flu, you can make your own chest rub, practice steam inhalation to help ease congestion, add a few drops to your shower and enjoy the benefits of steam inhalation, diffuse to help prevent the spread of germs, or make your own cool or warm compress to relieve symptoms.
