What essential oil is the most effective for catching a cold?
There are many essential oils to use when you have a cold. The effective essential oils are lavender essential oil, eucalyptus essential oil, tea tree essential oil and Melaleuca oil.

The common cold is caused by a virus that infects the nasal cavity or throat. If the nasal cavity and throat mucosa are infected by virus, it will become very fragile and bacteria will easily enter, causing sinusitis, ear infection or bronchitis.

Essential oil is a good bactericide, which has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, can relieve the discomfort caused by cold, and can also strengthen the immune system of human body, help resist the invasion of germs and avoid secondary infection.

When using essential oils to treat colds, we usually use steam inhalation and daubing.

The method of steam inhalation is to pour hot water into the basin, then drop 6-8 drops of essential oil, wrap the head and washbasin with a towel, and inhale the essential oil molecules that come up with the steam. As long as the total dose remains unchanged, one or more of the above essential oils can be selected.

You will feel very comfortable after steaming. Because steam inhalation can dredge blocked nasal cavity, clean inflamed mucosa, kill bacteria, effectively inhibit the growth of virus and improve cold symptoms.

The application method of essential oil is to add essential oil to base oil, blend it into compound oil, and then apply it to our nose, throat, chest and back. When you have a bad cold, you can mix essential oil and base oil at the ratio of 1:3, such as 3 drops of essential oil and 9- 10 drops of grape seed oil. Use it 2-3 times a day, and the cold symptoms will be relieved soon.

If you dilute the tea tree essential oil and apply it immediately when the cold symptoms first appear, you can avoid getting worse.

Treating colds with essential oils is more effective than injections and drugs, and it is safer and has no side effects.

I wish you health and happiness!
