Cold and flu season

This has ben a very cold and snowy season in CO. Fortunately our family has been very healthy this winter. I came down with my first cold last week and had lots of sneezes and a runny nose. Normally, when I catch a cold it lasts for over a week. This time, as soon as I started to feel a little run down, I was quick to use Thieves which is a blend of cloves, cinnamon, lemon, and rosemary. I rubbed it on my feet every night and diffused it in the bedroom (it has a great fresh scent). My cold lasted for just a few days and it was gone. The use of essentail oils and a healthier diet has been very important in my health this year.
