It is that time of the year. The time that everyone gets their tissues and cough syrup out and is ready to take a sick leave from work. It is flu season. Many doctors offices are booked solid and pharmacies have lines out the door for flu shots. What happens if you can not or do not want to get a flu shot? What happens if you ave already gotten the flu?

Influenza is a unpleasant sickness. Coughing, sneezing, fever, sore throat, muscle aches, headaches, weakness and fatigue, and sometimes even nausea and vomiting. And even though in the grand scheme of things the flu has some minor symptoms it can be deadly to the young and the elderly. Everyone wants to avoid spending a few weeks in bed feeling horrible and everyone has a different idea on how to do that. Some people simply get the flu shot and others have home remedies to try to avoid this infectious time of the year. So how do you stay flu free? And what do you do if you’ve already got the flu?

There are three things everyone should do to avoid getting the flu and to shorten the length of the sickness.

1.Wash your hands with soap and water often. Especially after you cough or sneeze. You can also use Thieves Waterless Purifier throughout the day.

2.Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

3.Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth to avoid spreading germs

If you suspect you are starting to get the flu get out your Thieves and put 1-2 drops in a 00 capsule and fill the rest with rice milk and take 2-3 times daily and chew an ImmuPro tablet before bed.

If you start to run a fever make sure to avoid coming in contact with others. Putting a few drops of Peppermint on each foot will help bring your fever down. Also use this recipe for a warm bath to ease aches and pains and help speed up the recovery process.

2 drops Eucalyptus Radiata

6 drops Frankincense

3 drops Blue Cypress

6 drops Spruce

15 drops Ravensara

1 drop Wintergreen

Stir above essential oils into 1/4 cup Epsom salt and dissolve into a warm bath and soak until water starts to cool. Relax and breath deeply.

So save yourself some money and do not go get all the cough syrup and medication and make sure to keep some important essential oils on hand. With the right tools you can make it through flu season happy and healthy but if you do get the flu make sure to get a lot of rest, avoid infecting others, and stay positive.
