Immunity Boosting essential oils
At a time like this (mid-Covid-19), we are all thinking about keeping our immunity boosted and healthy. Well, I love an essential oil so amongst all the other things I am doing, I am also using essential oils. Here is a little bit on what I’ve been doing.
Here’s how I’m using them:
Diffuser - I have this sporadically going on the 2nd floor of our house with Tea Tree & Eucalyptus.
Candle – I have made a delicious soya wax candle that I pop on downstairs for a bit at night. It has Geranium, Tangerine & Frankincense in it.
Spray – I have hand sanitizer spray from Zen Maitri that we have kept by the door to wipe down our hands before we leave the house and when we come back (and pick up post). It’s delicious and has Calendula tincture and Bergamot oil mixed with an alchol concentration 60%.
Why I’m using these oils:
Eucalyptus
Well known for its healing effects on the respiratory system, Eucalyptus is an antiseptic, expectorant and helps reduce fever. Classically used for the treatment of colds & flus, influenza, throat infections and bronchitis. A powerful disinfectant, Eucalyptus may be used in a diffuser to purify the air.
Tea Tree
This pungent essential oil has been used for centuries to treat colds, fevers and coughs. Combined with
the eucalyptus, it has a lovely clearing effect on your system.
Frankincense
A very calming and relaxing oil that helps deepen breathing and has a strong effect on mucous membranes.
Frankincense is a tonic for the mind/emotion and is wonderful in easing anxiety and stress. The reason I burn my candle at night is to help me relax.
Geranium
My favourite essential oil, Geranium is wonderful for the respiratory system and stimulates the lymphatic system. A key oil in my opinion, in these times. It’s also very balancing for the mind and emotions so a lovely one to infuse at night whilst winding down.
Tangerine
This essential oil is a tonic for the digestive system. It has a soothing effect on your nervous system to again help you relax. It works well as a relaxer for tired and achy muscles as well. Something I seem to have quite a bit at the moment after my daily workouts to pass the time.
