NingXia Red supplement , R.C. EO, Raven EO & Thieves EO are our go to for the winter months.
We start each morning with a 30ml shot of NingXia Red (we all like ours in different ways).
We have Thieves & Raven on a steady rotation through the diffusers in the bedrooms through the night; Thieves applied to the bottom of our feet & R.C. is applied topically to our chest (1:1 dilution).
When the kids were little (under two years) we would dilute Lemon (or myrtle) & Lavender single oils with coconut oil to create a chest rub (1:15 ratio). These oils are gentler for their sensitive skin & the coconut oil slows the absorption.

Thieves EO is a most amazing blend of essential oils. It was created from the research based on legends about a group of 15th Century thieves who rubbed oils on themselves to avoid contracting the plague while they robbed the bodies of the dead & dying. When apprehended, the thieves were forced to tell what their secret was & disclosed the formula of the herbs, spices & oils they used to protect themselves in exchange for more lenient punishment.

If you find yourself experiencing some early signs of sniffs or sniffles I love to add 2 drops of Raven, R.C. & Thieves to a bowl of hot water; place a towel over your head & inhale the steam from the mixture. Doing this morning & night to at the early stages really kicks it to the curb… It has always been a winner in our house.
