that can be added to your medicine cabinet that will help ward off, or speed up the recovery time, of these illnesses. Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), Ravensara (R. aromatic) and Fragonia (Agonis fragrans) are just a few that can help support your im- mune system during the weather changes due to their antiviral and antibacterial qualities. When common everyday allergies are an issue you can try mixing a few drops (1-2 drops each) of Lavender, Lemon and Tea tree in a carrier oil that can be applied directly to the skin under the nose or on any type of rash on the body. This mixture will work great for easing the side effects of respiratory allergies due to the anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory natures of these es- sential oils.
Mixing a few drops (1-2 drops each) of Cypress, Eucalyptus
radiata (E.radiata), Lavender and Lime (Citrus medica) can be very useful as decongestants when it comes to stuffy noses and chest congestion. A blend of these essential oils helps to reduce congestion and dry up excess mucus.
