Do you get frustrated every time the weather starts getting cooler because you realize you’re starting to get sick, and there’s nothing you can do about it?

Here’s how it goes:

The weather starts getting cooler, and you suddenly find yourself unusually tired and achy.

You can’t quite put your finger on it, but you’re just not quite feeling “like yourself.

Suddenly it hits you: you must be coming down with something...and it’s terrible timing!

Sound familiar? If so, read on to discover just how powerful essential oils can be when it comes to boosting immunity and keeping germs at bay.

Aromatherapy to the Rescue

Aromatherapy is a perfectly simple, all-natural way to prevent colds and flus. Simply using just a few drops of essential oils in a high-quality glass essential oil diffuser keeps the air clear of germs, preventing the spread of contagious colds and flus – here’s how.

1. Aromatherapy Diffusers Help Ward off Germs

Research shows that vapor containing essential oils like tea tree and eucalyptus have the potential to kill various flu viruses. One study on cinnamon and lemongrass showed that each oil was effective at killing 6 different types of pathogens which cause respiratory illnesses. Still further research shows that that lemongrass and geranium reduce airborne bacteria.

Other essential oils known to have antibacterial properties include bergamot, cinnamon, cypress, clove, rosemary, and thyme.

So, even if you already have a sick person in your house, you can use an aromatherapy diffuser to help sanitize the air and protect the rest of the house from catching that nasty bug.

2. Aromatherapy Oils will Help to Relieve Stress

You may or may not already know that stress can wreak havoc on the immune system, causing imbalances in a number of systems and leading to ill health on a number of levels.

To keep stress at bay and your immune system strong, simply add a few drops of a calming essential oil like frankincense, lavender, geranium or clary sage to a glass nebulizer diffuser or hot bath, sit back and let it ease your body and mind.

3. Inhaling Essential Oils Can Help Ease Cold and Flu Symptoms

Sinus infections, coughs, fatigue, and body aches can all be eased with just a few drops of organic essential oil.

If you’ve considered adding an aromatherapy nebulizing diffuser to your home, but you're not sure if it will be worth the investment, consider purchasing even one or two key oils (most have several useful applications) to use whatever way you please.

There are a few different ways of using essential oils to ease symptoms:

• Add a few drops of oil or blend to a glass essential oil nebulizer, keep it by your bed for all-night relief of sinus and chest pain.
• Add them to hot or cold compresses for topical relief.
• Use them with a plain carrier massage oil and apply on aching, tired muscles.

Which diffuser should you purchase?

A wood and glass aroma diffuser make an elegant addition to any room, and what’s more, diffusers made with high quality materials and do the best job of preserving the integrity of oils. Cool air diffusers help keep the oils at a normal temperature, and the oils will not react with the material as they can with cheap plastic diffusers.

Don’t let cold and flu season bring you or your family down this year! Take the preventative step of using high-quality essential oils in a quality air diffuser and enjoy the winter season as you should – having fun!
