Fighting Flu & Cough with Young Living essential oil

This has been the 2nd time in about 7 months that I am down with serious flu and cough. It is really annoying because I can't breathe, I sneeze constantly, the outside of the nostril is itchy, nose is dripping, the throat is scratchy and painful.  One word to describe my feeling - miserable with a capital M.

Since my early twenties I have an issue with taking medicine, I do not like the taste of the tablet/pill/capsule nor their after effect into my system.  For years I have endured flu, cough, sore throat attacks with no medicine and letting my body heal itself.  It was not a pleasant experience.  Period.

I have started to use Young Living essential oils last year and I am having better "sick days".  When I am down with flu and cough (they do really come visiting hand in hand) I've got these oil to the rescue - Breathe Again, Lavender, Peppermint, Eucalyptus Blue & R.C. 


I started feeling under the weather on Thursday afternoon, I immediately applied Eucalyptus Blue on my naval and nostril the minute I reached home.  For the past 3 days I put my diffuser to work full time even when I'm sleeping, diffusing a blend of the above oils.  When I am out I brought along Breathe Again, swiping it across my nostril and roll it on my naval to makes me breathe easier and reduce my coughing.

Today is Sunday and I woke up feeling GREAT!  No more dripping nose, sore & scratchy throat, nose is still a little bit blocked and am still coughing occasionally but I am definitely feeling better than before.  Best part is I got better without taking any medicine!

On top of the oil I am keeping myself hydrate with lemon infused water, I drink it chilled to sooth the sore throat.  DinoPapa and I has started to drink infused water, they taste better and has lesser sugar than store bought juices or carbonated soft drink.
