Fall is one of my favorite seasons. For me Fall means cozy sweaters, cute boots, comfort food and unfortunately it also means cold and flu season. I always try to amp up the intake of the usual Vitamin C, Astragalus and Echinacea and some years I even get a flu shot to help prevent getting sick but inevitably I usually end up with some sort of nasty virus. Unfortunately, this Fall is not off to a good start because I have already been the victim of a really bad cold. Sometimes no matter what I do in the way of prevention those little germs find their way in.
Thankfully, I have a arsenal of Essential Oils to help combat every cold and flu symptom you can think of and Oregano Oil, Tea Tree Oil and especially Ginger Oil are of my favorites!
Ginger Oil can actually be used to treat all sorts of things from nausea and menstrual cramps to infections. It’s also a great Essential Oil for treating respiratory issues. It literally helps remove mucus from the throat and lungs so when I have a cold Ginger Oil is a “Must Have”. To help with congestion I like to make a pillow spray using distilled water and several drops of Ginger Oil and give my pillows a good spray right before bed.
Since Ginger Oil also helps with inflammation so I use it to help with my muscle and joint pain, especially on my neck and upper back areas. I rub in 2-3 drops a couple times of day and it really helps to alleviate the aches and pains and no pills required!
Another great use of Ginger Oil is Aromatherapy. It’s known as “the oil of empowerment” since it brings a sense of self-assurance and courageousness and serenity and it’s one of my favorite oils to diffuse at bedtime.
So, if you don’t have Ginger Oil in your Essential Oil arsenal then I highly recommend you add it! My personal favorite is the Ginger Oil by Gya Labs and you can find it on Amazon for under $10!
