Break Out The Diffuser!
With flu season, colds and viruses in full swing, we are taking lots of precautions to keep ourselves and our families healthy.
One of the best things we can do for our health is, in general, is to diffuse essential oils. Essential oils that have antiviral and immune-boosting properties are our best friends right now!
I love this inexpensive diffuser. It does the job and you can’t beat the price.

Why Diffuse?
Diffusing essential oils is one of the most effective ways to receive all of their beneficial properties. From The Essential Life book:
“Diffusing essential oils aromatically is beneficial for affecting mood, killing airborne pathogens, and changing the aroma of a space such as a room, office or car.”
Killing airborne pathogens? Yes, please!
A lot of people mock me for my enormous collections of essential oils, but I am so glad I have them right now! It’s so simple to throw a few drops in the diffuser and offer your family protection from viruses.

We also want to consider diffusing essential oils that support our immune system. We can all use an immune system boost right now!

Hello!
I am loving all your posts on using essential oils. They are very helpful and fun to read! I have one follow up question here ~ can you pre blend these different diffuser recipes into a dropper bottle and then use the dropper bottle for convenience?
Thank you!

Hi! doTERRA’s Breathe blend would be great to diffuse for coughs. Frankincense and Tea Tree would be another nice one. Peppermint + Frankincense is great for joint pain, and if you use doTERRA their Deep Blue Rub is amazing for joint pain!!!
Joy says
What oil blend would you recommend diffusing in the room with my 7 year old granddaughter? At times she comes from school with a cough or slight fever. Also, can you suggest a blend for rubbing into joint pain.

Hi Sandy. Thanks for signing up!! I don’t have experience with diabetes, but for circulation – essential oils like cypress help a lot. doTERRA makes a blend called AromaTouch that is really good for circulation as well. Hope this helps!
