- How to Avoid Getting Sick During Cold and Flu Season by Christa McCourt

In all honesty, your immune system is the only thing that keeps you healthy. When your immune system is stressed, you're subject to catching all the bugs flying around.

However, when your immune system is working at its best, you won't catch a thing!

Using some common sense practices such as; getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods and having low stress levels can keep your immune system in tip top shape.

But, do you know that essential oils can be a valuable tool in your "medicinal toolbox" to keep you healthy, too?

Thieves essential oil blend (from Young Living), in my opinion, is the BEST preventative for colds and flu. When I use it, I feel like a protective shield has been placed around me guarding me from any foreign intruders, i.e. germs.

Thieves essential oil blend was created based upon the legend of four thieves during the 15th century black plague. These "thieves" would rub oils and aromatics on themselves and then rob from the dying plague victims.

The thieves never caught the plague. But, the king sure did catch them! And, in order for a lesser punishment, they had to disclose what they were using to keep them healthy during such a dismal time. They used the oils and aromatics that are now found in Young Living's Thieves essential oil blend.

How lucky are we to have access to this long-lost wellness secret?

I'd like to share with you my proven protocol for staying healthy during cold and flu seasons, and throughout the year, as well.

1. Diffuse Thieves essential oil blend in you home everyday.

And I don't mean using a lamp diffuser or one of those trendy reed diffusers. Those are merely for fragrance and have no therapeutic value whatsoever. To truly diffuse an essential oil, and retain all of its therapeutic value, you should use a cold air diffuser.

These can be purchased through Young Living, or other online aromatherapy stores. Here's a picture of one:

Cold air diffusers disperse oil molecules into the air where they are suspended for hours killing the germs in your home. I recommend diffusing Thieves essential oil blend for 15 minutes every 3 hours.

Thieves will kill 99.9% of the bacteria, viruses, mold and fungi that may be scattered around your home. It's much safer than using conventional anti-bacterial products on the market today.

2. Rub Thieves essential oil blend on your body everyday.

I recommend using it on your feet every day. 1 drop per foot, 2 times a day. The essential oil molecules are so small that they are able to penetrate the pores of your feet and enter your bloodstream within minutes.
