A Naturally Better Medicine

Irene Hauver, Owner and Operator of Sage Health and Empowerment

Laughter’s undisputed reign as the “Best Medicine” has recently been rocked by a strong competitor. This competitor for the title of “Best Medicine” is not new to the health arena, but has only recently come out of semi-retirement. The stunning victories of this competitor can no longer be ignored. While laughter is without doubt the champion of the positive mental attitude, essential oils claim the title of the oldest and still the best medicine for life’s common ailments.

Oregano, lemon, cinnamon, frankincense, peppermint, and eucalyptus have all been used effectively for years to battle colds and flus, but now medical research is really finding what these oils can do. Recent research done at Weber State University found that four essential oils all had the ability to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses in a room where they were diffused. That’s incredible! The French Police Toxicology Laboratory reported that diffusing essential oils in a room full of harmful, air borne bacteria had a dramatic antiseptic effect. In fact, all the potentially disease-causing molds and bacteria including staphylococcus were killed within 30 minutes. The knowledge of centuries is now the scientific breakthroughs of today.

Why are Essential Oils so effective against bacteria and viruses?

Pathogenic micro-organisms such as viruses and bacteria do not become resistant to essential oils as they do to modern day synthetic drugs. Infectious microbes cannot grow accustomed to essential oils and mutate. One of the reasons that microbes cannot mutate with essential oils is due to the chemical composition of essential oils. Each batch of essential oils is unique depending on its growing season’s temperature range, wind, rain, time of harvest, and more. One essential oil can have anywhere from 200-800 chemical constituents. It is impossible for a virus or bacteria to mutate and adapt to that many chemical constituents.

All that makes for a truly formidable ally during the cold and flu seasons. Essential oils have the upper hand in all areas of the fight against cold and flu. Use of essential oil diffusers prevents illness, essential oils treat illness, and essential oils help restore healthy function with added immunity following illness. Perhaps the most exciting benefit of using essential oils over synthetic drugs is that essential oils are natural without side effects.

So when you are searching for the best medicine for your family this cold and flu season, laugh and laugh often, but make sure you always have some essential oil fighting in your corner.
