Cold And Flu Prevention – Is There Anything That Works?

Want to avoid catching cold and flu this winter?

If you're like the rest of us, you probably do. But are there any effective cold and flu prevention methods that could keep you well this season?

We all know the obvious. Here are the general principles:

• Eat well by including plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Avoid sweets and processed foods.
• Stay warm – wear appropriate clothing and shoes to keep warm and keep your head and ears covered outdoors.
• Stay fit – exercise to keep your body healthy, in good shape and to burn calories.
• Get enough sleep – your body needs to rest and rejuvenate. Insufficient sleep strains the brain and weakens your immunity.
• Wash hands often – We all pick up germs and viruses on pencils, doorknobs, computer keyboards, etc… Hand wash them away.

Now to specifics:

• Diffuse antimicrobial essential oil – Diffusing the right essential oil can not only decrease your exposure to cold and flu bugs in the air, but it can strengthen your immunity to them. What essential oil is best? Studies conducted at Weber State University show that the Thieves essential oil blend has a 99.96 percent success rate against airborne bacteria.



• Use Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier when you can't wash your hands. Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier promotes good hygiene without the use of water or toxic ingredients. It's a great way to get the natural, germ-fighting cleansing power of the essential oil in a handy, carry-with-you bottle.



• Bolster your immunity with Inner Defense™ – the total health system protection that reinforces systemic defenses in the immune system, creates unfriendly terrain for yeast/fungus and promotes healthy respiratory function. Its potent blend of oregano, thyme, and Thieves® essential oils are rich in thymol, carvacrol, and eugenol for powerful immune support.

So don't feel helpless this season. You don't need to spend the season sneezing and coughing. There are plenty of natural and healthy steps you can take for effective cold and flu prevention.
