Healthy Essentials (Oils)
It's essential that we remain healthy this cold and flu season -- so we turned to Noelle Katai, Certified Aromatherapist and host of "Everybody Nose" on Veria TV, for tips on how essential oils can protect us from aches and pains.
Headache: Inhale peppermint essential oil right from the bottle or put a few drops on a tissue. (Feverish? Rub a small amount on your feet.)
Achy all over: Best handled with a massage blend made with essential oils that have warming and anti-inflammatory properties like: Lavender, Ginger, and German and Roman Chamomile. Blend together in a carrier oil like sweet almond oil.
Sniffles: At the onset of a cold, Bay Laurel, , Eucalyptus Globulus, Eucalyptus Radiata and Lavender help boost the immune system to fight off infection. Massage a blend in a carrier like jojoba oil on your body after a hot shower.
DIY spray: Dilute a blend of Tea tree, Eucalyptus Globulus, Eucalyptus Radiata, Melissa and Lavender with water -- makes a great anti-bacterial spray for armrests and tray tables when traveling (or around the office.)
