Fall is approaching and there are many things i want to mention about oils and upcoming flu season.
1. Thieves blends or any copycat blends for colds and flu will NOT be safe or appropriate for every human. There are safety issues to know about those “immunity blends”.
2. A safer alternative to cinnamon essential oil is: “Tamala ct. linalool”. It smells like cinnamon and is MUCH MUCH more skin friendly than cinnamon.
3. NO ESSENTIAL OIL ACTUALLY BOOSTS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM…essential oils do not strengthen your immune system…they support it. Essential oils also kill germs so that can help you “feel boosted”.
4. BACK TO SCHOOL…lice…no essential oil will PREVENT lice…think about it…how would you know if its the essential oil preventing lice or if you just didnt catch it? If someone ALREADY has lice, tea tree essential oil can be helpful, but theres no real reason to add it to shampoo for every day use.
5. Essential oils high in 1,8-cineole and menthol are kind of harsh on younger folks, older folks, etc…those oils can actually CAUSE breathing issues instead of helping them. There are other oils those folks can use that would better suit them.
6. Oregano essential oil is AMAZING for killing germs, as are so many others, but no essential oil is actually a disinfectant. Just because something has the ability to kill some germs doesnt classify it as a disinfectant by the CDC. They are wonderful SANITIZERS, DEODORIZERS, and AIR CLEANSERS, but they are not DISINFECTANTS OR STERILIZERS. Its all about the wording!
…ok i think that covers it for now!
