This is the “flash” recipe from a natural health expert.
Every year, the flu knocks down many people. This respiratory infection is very contagious and is easily transmitted through droplets of saliva carrying the virus and released into the air when a person speaks, coughs or sneezes. You must adopt barrier gestures to protect yourself: wash your hands regularly, wear a mask in crowded places, stay away from sick people, ventilate your house, cough or sneeze into your elbow… “Act quickly even before the flu hits you or at the slightest doubt. To do this, you need to have the right essential oils on hand.” advises biochemist Bruno Riotte in his book “My Essential Oils Guide”.
In the event of a flu epidemic or if you have someone sick in your home, “the little tip is to diffuse at home a mixture of essential oils composed of Ravensare, Lemon, Niaouli and Radiated Eucalyptus“. This “flash recipe” must be shared, insists the biochemist because it allows you to protect yourself, spare your family and no longer be afraid of a flu epidemic. These essential oils are easily found in pharmacies, organic stores and natural product stores. Why these oils and not others?
Niaouli essential oil is a powerful disinfectant, it is anti-infectious, antibacterial and antiviral. Radiated Eucalyptus essential oil is the specialist in viral epidemics and winter illnesses. Lemon essential oil is essential for purifying the ambient air to prevent winter illnesses. Ravensare essential oil (and not Ravintsara, more commonly used when the flu hits to relieve symptoms) has antiviral properties and is used to prevent flu because it is immunostimulating, in other words it boosts the immune system.
Even when diffused, the use of essential oils is not without danger. This synergy of 4 essential oils should be avoided in the presence of children under 6 years old, pregnant or breastfeeding women. Likewise, diffusing essential oils should be done for 10-15 minutes as a precaution. Even when used correctly, essential oils do not replace a medical consultation. If the fever rises, if the fatigue becomes too strong or if breathing becomes complicated, you should consult quickly. The elderly, babies, fragile people or people with chronic illnesses must be particularly vigilant. Essential oils can help, but the best reflex is to listen to your symptoms and seek the advice of a health professional if in doubt.
