The Big Reveal: 5 Essential Oils for the Flu, Cold and Coronavirus
Believe it or not, I actually have 2 other blog posts in the works; yet, I just uploaded a video on Stress | Sunscreen | Vitamin D | Coronavirus which I also covered on Wednesday’s radio show earlier, and then It hit me … I’d do well to say something here.
A cold is a type of coronavirus; just not as severe. The reason we even have the ‘novel coronavirus’ is because of ‘our’ continual efforts to thwart the survival of any virus. In other words, life is energy, a force, that cannot be stopped. So, even though we have the ability to temporarily disrupt an infection, these viruses win. Ultimately every organism is equipped with this life force, fueling the survival mechanism. This is stress, and when stress is activated, adaptations occur which lead to the death of some and eventually, a more resilient organism a.k.a. super bug (bacteria and viruses)
There’s a part of me that wonders what would happen if we stopped trying to control the human genome and allow it to adapt accordingly …..
I can’t help myself .. I am curious.
Regardless, the reason we have two active types of novel coronavirus, one being more aggressive than the other, is due to the bug ‘altering’ itself in order to survive. In fact, this was stated in Newsweek. They actually make a point to say that if the immune system of a host learns how to stop the virus, it will change to survive. What’s more, it was first detected as the lesser aggressive type S, and eventually evolved into the more harmful one referred to as ‘L’.
What’s interesting is this viral outbreak began in December of last year and the U.S. did not hear of it until the first death in January. I don’t buy into the idea of conspiracy .. it’s a common virus that has become stronger due to scientific attempts to kill it. This is what I spoke about on the radio.
The life force does not seek to kill; man does. Yes, there is evidence of killing throughout nature’ yet, it stems from the need to thrive a.k.a. survival of the fittest. It’s also linked to man’s interference by moving plants and animals around the world. However, left to its own abilities, nature is quite good with the proliferation of life regardless of the death that occurs.
Man on the other hand, seeks to control and obliterate .. yes, I’m generalizing and it’s fair to say our cultural reaction is typically based in fear .. not out of instinct and wisdom. Again, there are exceptions to everything, and topics for further discussion; however, as far as this post goes … I’m interested in saying, plants do not seek to kill other plants. They have synergistic relationships .. the ones that require more sunlight, grow taller and provide shade for the ones that don’t. In situations where one strangles out another .. consider one plant is not native …
The point is … life does not seek to kill out of revenge or control out of fear; that’s a human thing. Plants produce oxidative stress chemicals a.k.a. constituents that repel microbes, insects and larger animals depending on the plant. This oxidative stress a.k.a. essential oils not only relieves human oxidative stress, it repels microbes i.e. bacteria and viruses. When a life is threatened, the organism adapts to survive .. hence oxidative stress. When a life seeks to shield itself with such chemical repellents, the threat moves on.
The great thing about using essential oils is they not only contain the repellent, they also support the elimination process via respiration, perspiration and urination.
SO …. whether you are wanting to protect yourself from a cold, flu or a more aggressive coronavirus OR actually make it go away… because infection has already set in …
THE 5 Recommended Essential Oils to begin with …
ho leaf ~ great for congestion, cough and repelling viruses
laurel leaf ~ recommended for supporting the immune system, digestion, and moving the lymph
lemongrass ~ much like laurel leaf, this oil move fluids and supports stable immune function
lemon ~ keeps the kidneys flushing as it thwarts the development of any microbe
black pepper ~ exceptional virus repellent plus it supports digestion which is essential to recovering from stress and illness
plus 2 more if the illness is more of an aggressive cold, the flu, with a fever:
star anise ~ the reason we have Tamiflu; use ONLY if you feel a fever coming on or right after onset in order to eliminate the virus
peppermint ~ SUPER fever reducer and only needed when a fever is present
To use these oils: either apply 2 to 3 drops of each oil every 2 hours to the lymph glands and neck or take a bath with them twice a day, using approximately 20 drops (total) of your chosen essential oils.
This is how you protect and support the body.
That said, there are suggestions that Lysol is helpful on hard surfaces around the workspace and home. Feel free to use this as well AND don’t worry about using something manmade to keep you safe. The entire purpose of my mission is not only learning how to integrate essential oils … it’s accepting both knowledge and wisdom …
The bottom line is … life adapts and while there is a potential threat to our survival .. there is nothing to fear. Besides their ability to repel viruses, these oils also stabilize the stress response which is enormously important when it comes to helping the body keep us safe from harm.
For what' it’s worth, even Deepak Chopra is saying something similar … you can search that on YouTube … Deepak Chopra and the coronavirus. And then there is the WHO with their request to keep things in perspective …
The next bottom line is … we’ve got this … please understand that life does what’s necessary to preserve itself and while there appears to be some danger .. the more we panic, the worse it gets; therefore, arm yourself with essential oils and help your body adapt to this threat in a positive way …
