I know that I am freaked out about this new deadly virus, so I thoght many of you might be also. I thought it was a good time to give some simple recipes to help repel germs and stay virus free. Please note, I use this in addition to what my doctor tells me. For instance, I got a flu shot this year for the first time in awhile, you can't be too safe. So here are some tips to on Protecting Yourself From the Coronavirus the organic way:
1) Most important thing is to wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds and carry handsanitizer. If you don’t like to use commercial ones, there are lots of recipes online on sites to make an organic version using essential oils and aloe. As easy as using aloe-vera gel and any of the essential oils I list below.
2) When out and about keep a safe distance from people – at least 6 feet
3) Avoid close contact with anyone who is sick – again, at least 6 feet
4) Cover mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing, not hands. Toss in trash right away and wash hands
5) For extra protection you could carry an Essential Oil Inhaler. You can buy them but I prefer to make my own. Certain Essential Oils have been known to kill airborne viruses. There are many but a few of the good ones to use are: Tea Tree, Thyme, Clove, Oregano, Lemon, Eucalyptus, Cinnamon.
To make inhaler, mix 2 drops of at least 3 of the above oils into a half Tsp Carrier Oil such as coconut, avocado or castor oil. Pour onto inhaler insert, screw top on and you are ready to go if someone coughs or you are around lots of people
6) To protect your home, diffuse any of the above in your home to clean the air. Caution though: do it while you are out, these are strong oils. Don’t do it if you have pets, are pregnant or have young children. Or, you can remove pets to another room and let them back in when the air has cleared. You can also make a cleaner with any of the above. Put in a spray bottle with tablespoon of alcohol, distilled water and a few drops of the oils. Shake really well and spray right away. Shake each time you spray to mix the oils. Spray down doorknobs, counters, faucets, etc.
7) Stay healthy my friends.
