Essential Oils Beat the Crud Again

That's what I love so much about essential oils, they can help your body conquer the little immunity irritations we encounter.  I work with kids at church most Sundays and get lots of hugs from these notorious little germ carriers, lol.

Due to an overactive immune response, the stuff that your immune system knows is not worth waking up to fight, will make my responses go into overdrive. Why? I don't know. There are two possible reasons. First,  I was a very premature baby (3lbs 15 oz) and my immune system didn't have time to mature. Second, I was born into a home of two heavy smoker parents.  Not a good start.

Anyway, not the point. The point is that by using essential oils, I can ward off the full blown reaction by attacking the initial sore throat, swollen glands and fatigue that is my clue to the invader. Yesterday, I used Melaleuca, Theives, Oregano and Lemon and woke up this morning feeling tons better. I'll follow that up the same way today to kick any last resistance out of my body.

So, if you have an immune system that tells you it is under attack too frequently, think about using essential oils  and see if they work for you like they do for  me.  Not feeling icky every week is priceless.
