What if you could mitigate cold symptoms safely and naturally with remedies from your own home “medicine cabinet” of pure essential oils?
Essential oils have long played an important role in helping to rebalance our systems.
And, combined with the ancient wisdom of natural healing traditions, such as Ayurveda, they can provide safe, non-invasive and effective ways to heal our bodies and bring vibrant health into our lives.
Botanical medicine pioneer David Crow, a world-renowned expert in how to approach healing with essential oils based on Ayurvedic principles, offers us clear and effective protocols for helping to snuff out the common cold.
One important tip from David is that when it comes to upper respiratory infections, using essential oils in a vaporized form is most effective, as is inhaling higher concentrations for a shorter period of time.
Yet, he adds, when in need of an expectorant to clear mucus, lower concentrations tend to be more helpful.

You’ll also gain an understanding of the three basic functions of essential oils as well as how combining herbal remedies with essential oils can increase their healing benefits.
