Cold season is upon us and no one knows better than I do how that can impact a person. You see, I teach grade school and spend the entire winter wiping the snotty noses of my students. One day, they'll have the art of covering their mouths when they cough, but as for now, it's still a work in progress.

Let's face it, you know when you're going to get sick. If you are in tune with your body, you know the day before, or at the latest, the morning of the start of a cold. You're not really achy yet, but you don't feel well. Maybe you think you just didn't get a good night's rest. But then, you notice your throat has a tickling sensation. That's what I notice first. My throat feels just a little bit scratchy, but not so much that I can't ignore it if I'm in the morning rush to get to work on time.

The thing is, when it comes to fighting a cold, time is the most important factor. If I hit it hard as soon as I realize it is upon me, I can avoid getting sick. If I wait until the afternoon or next day, while I won't get a full blown 4-7 day long illness, I may feel that groggy, not-quite-100%-well feeling.

What do I do to avoid getting a cold? I'll tell you. First of all, I take an extra 2000 mg of vitamin C to boost my immune system. Then I rub a drop or two of therapeutic grade essential oils of lavender, lemon, and rosemary on the sides of my neck. Lavender oil has shown to be antimicrobial (Larrondo JV,et al. "Antimicrobial activity of essences from labiates." Microbios. 1995; 82(332):171-2.) According to Jean Valnet, M.D., Lemon oil can kill pneumococcus bacteria within three hours. It is anti-infectious and antiviral. Rosemary oil acts as an expectorant and has mucolytic (breaks down mucus) properties. It is also antibacterial.

The last thing I do is rub a few drops of Thieves oil from Young Living on my feet. This blend was found to have a 99.96% kill rate against airbourne bacteria when tested at Weber State University for its antimicrobial properties.


My recipe to prevent colds:
2000 mg Vitamin C

1-2 drops Lavender oil
1-2 drops Lemon oil
1-2 drops Rosemary oil
Rub oils on sides of throat.

3-5 drops Thieves (per foot)
Rub on bottom of foot, focusing on the ball of the feet, where the Vita Flex points for the lungs are.




Happy healthy living during this cold season!
