Essential Oils for Viral Infection
The number of cases of viral infections increases as the seasons change. With the arrival of winter coughs and colds are common and flu spreads rapidly. People have been using anti biotic remedies for decades but natural remedies are now becoming popular and gaining precedence over other forms of treatment.
Aromatherapy is an alternative remedy that is becoming popular due to the benefits one stands to gain from the therapy. It is cost effective and extremely effective as a remedy for almost all ailments. With regards to viral infections eucalyptus oil, bergamot, Calgary sage, tea tree oil and lavender oils are the most popular as well as effective.
There are several ways for you to incorporate these essential oils as a remedy for common ailments. Rubbing the oils on your pressure points and your back, neck and chest will help to prevent and cure any viral infection. If you are using these oils directly on your skin make sure that you blend them with a carrier oil in order to prevent any form of skin burn. You could also add a few drops of the oil into your bath water and soak in the water for a few minutes. As you breathe in the fumes from the oil the viruses get attacked and this will get rid of the infection instantly.
If you are suffering with a common cold and a stuffy nose then you must add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to hot water and breathe in the vapors for a few minutes. This will help to clear sinuses and also gets rid of stuffiness in the nose.
If fever is causing a headache then you can rub lavender oil on your temples in order to get rid of the headache.
If you are pregnant or are breastfeeding your child then you must consult with a doctor before you start using any essential oils to treat viral infections as they may cause side effects.
