Indispensable essential oil blends for colds and seasonal illnesses
At this time of year it is vitally important to keep our immune system strong and look after our health.. That is exactly why I decided to give my family extra protection with essential oil blends that have a beneficial effect on the immune and respiratory systems. I am delighted that this year we avoided all seasonal illnesses, even though the children go to school and I go to work. I give the credit to greater care, a healthy diet and aromatherapy.
Every day we use 3 essential oil blends (not at the same time).

Before using essential oils, let us make sure that we are not allergic to them. Pregnant women and people who are ill should consult a doctor before use. We must always follow the instructions. Essential oils are used at your own risk. In the case of more serious illness, we should see a doctor.
