5 Winter Essential Oil Blends You Need to Diffuse in Your Home

With the talk of cold, flu and other sicknesses deluging our cities, schools, bodies and our senses, I wanted to share with you 5 winter essential oil blends to diffuse in your home, keeping it a healthy haven this season!

Thankfully, essential oils can offer us some support and relief when it comes to cold and flu season. While there are SO many winter essential oil blends that can be used, really just a few oil powerhouses can have a major effect when you’re not quite feeling yourself and to speed along the healing process, or even help keep you from getting sick in the first place! 

So why diffuse? For me, I find it’s an easy way to keep my home healthier, plus, it usually smells amazing! Though I do apply oils topically when needed and use in other ways, diffusing essential oils throughout the day helps to destroy airborne microbes and it’s one big (and easy!) method to fill our home with immune boosting properties.

If the cold or flu raids your home, this is a blend that will help you get through it a little faster and bring some relief. Besides diffusing, this is another blend that performs well when you dilute with fractionated coconut oil apply to the bottom of your feet and back of the neck if you begin to feel any symptoms.
