These two essential oils pack a MEAN PUNCH against health threats.
With Essential Oils, there are many ways you can fortify your immune system, purify the air of health threats, and speed the healing process. CPTG* Oregano and Melaleuca (Tea Tree) essential oils are extremely effective apart but even more so together. Here are a few ways you can use them to help beat the sniffles all winter!
Oregano
Oregano is my personal favorite because, when it comes to killing fungi, viruses and other health threats, Oregano is “boss.” If you think you may have already been exposed to something or your body needs help killing the infection, Oregano is your friend.
How to: You can take CPTG* Oregano essential oil internally or apply it to the bottoms of the feet to get the therapeutic benefits (note caution below). Add 3-5 drops to an empty gel capsule with a little coconut or olive oil. Do that 3-4x/day as soon as you feel symptoms or even after full onset.
For prevention, take 1-2 drops in the morning and evening. For children, reduce to 1 drop at a time, heavily diluted in carrier oil. Oregano is powerful. Once symptoms are past, you probably don’t need to use it at all, although I’ve heard of some taking 1 drop per day for a few weeks at a time to help cleanse the GI tract or as an internal approach for clearing blemishes.
CAUTION: Oregano is a “hot” oil, which means you never want to apply it directly on the skin or drink it without dilution. Dilute drops in some coconut oil for topical application, or adults add to a glass of nut milk or other beverage (preferably with a little fat to help emulsify) and stir or shake well before drinking. Children should only take oregano by topical application and well diluted. Message me if you have any questions about using Oregano Essential Oil!
Melaleuca
Melaleuca, also known as “Tea Tree,” is a crisp smelling, antibacterial, immune fortifying gem. It’s great for disinfecting both surfaces and the air, especially useful while airborne threats are all about. Use it internally as an antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, pro-health plant-based solution.
How to: Diffusing melaleuca is a wonderful way to cleanse and purify the air, as well as fortify your immune system as you inhale it. Used internally, CPTG Melaleuca also helps to clear up congestion and kill bacteria. Use it alone or combine 2-3 drops with Oregano in an empty gel capsule blended with a little coconut oil. Apply topically behind (never inside) the ears to target ear pain, or on the bottoms of the feet for daily immune support.
TIP: When you apply essential oils to the bottoms of your feet, your body absorbs the oils and circulates throughout the body.
The Oregano/Tea Tree Blend is PHENOMENAL for common seasonal threats…but if you need even more potent immune star blend to kick a real mean bug (and tell it don’t come back)…try this.
