Relieve Cold and Flu Symptoms with Eucalyptus Essential Oil

    Back to school season generally means back to germ season. With the added exposure to new germs, and the weather change, it's inevitable that our loved ones will get sick. But what if I told you that you don't have to reach for an over the counter medication to help relieve your loved ones symptoms? You can use Eucalyptus Essential Oil.

Relieve Cold and Flu Symptoms with Eucalyptus Essential Oil

    Before you reach for an over the counter medication to relieve cold and flu symptoms, look to something more natural. Try Gya Labs Eucalyptus Essential Oil. This all natural oil works amazing to help clear stuffy noses, and soothe barking coughs. It's even helpful for treating asthma. Better yet, it's good for you. 

    Simply grab a glass roller bottle, add a few drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil, and dilute it with a carrier oil. This can be olive oil, coconut, avocado, sweet almond and more. Give it a good shake, and it's ready for use. 

    For sinus congestion, I apply it under our noses, across our foreheads, and behind our ears. For coughs, I roll it onto our chests, on their backs between their shoulders, and then on the soles of the feet. I kid you not, there's nothing better to treat cold or flu symptoms.

Use it to Relieve Pain

    Eucalyptus oil is also effective in relieving pain. You can grab your roller bottle, and roll it right onto the areas causing you pain. Or, if you're more adventurous, you can create a balm and add the oil (as well as a few others,) to that. Then rub it into your sore areas. I happen to love this recipe.

    These are just a few of the uses for this amazing essential oil. However, make sure when you're getting your oil, you're purchasing therapeutic grade. Which is why I trust Gya Labs.

Modern Uses for Myrrh

    Anyone that knows the Nativity story has heard of Myrrh. But do you know what it really was? Or, do you know how you can use it today? There are many modern uses for Myrrh, especially as an essential oil.

Modern Uses for Myrrh

    If you've read the Bible, you may have heard of Myrrh a lot. In fact, it's mentioned one hundred and fifty two times. In ancient times it was a very important spice. They used it as a remedy and to purify the dead. However today it can be used for so much more. And as more people are turning to nature to heal, more and more of us are becoming familiar with the benefits of certain essential oils.

    Myrrh as an essential oil is amazing! It has natural healing properties so you can use it to clean and disinfect wounds. Lab studies have found that it is even effective in treating Staph. Myrrh also has anti fungal properties. Which means you can use it to treat athlete's foot, ringworm, acne, and even bad breath (since candida is a fungus and can be the cause of nasty breath.) It's powerful enough to kill germs, but gentle enough to be used (on most people) without being diluted.

Great for the Skin

    Myrrh has wonderful healing properties, so it's no surprise that it's found in many skin care creams. It can add needed moisture and even heal chapped skin and lips. Also, it smells amazing! You can even apply a dab or two and wear it as a natural perfume. The woodsy, musky scent is beautiful. Which also makes it perfect for relaxing. Add a few drops to your bath and enjoy some peaceful "me time."
