Flu Relief Blend: Your Natural Ally this Flu Season
Getting through flu season can feel like a never-ending challenge—especially when it hits your whole household at once. But this Flu Relief Blend has become one of my favorite ways to bring comfort and extra support when things get rough. It’s warm, spicy, and gently energizing—just what we need when we’re feeling run down and foggy.
This simple essential oil blend isn’t just about making your home smell nice (though it absolutely does that, too). It’s about creating an atmosphere of wellness while offering gentle relief from some of flu’s most annoying symptoms.
What’s in the Flu Relief Blend?
This flu-fighting trio brings immune support, a clean home atmosphere, and nausea relief—all in one cozy mix:
- 🌰 1 drop Cinnamon – Warming and stimulating, cinnamon is known for its immune-boosting properties and powerful ability to fight airborne bacteria.
- 🍊 4 drops Orange – Bright and uplifting, orange oil purifies the air and offers a little mood boost on hard days.
- 🌱 2 drops Ginger – This grounding oil helps relieve nausea and digestive upset, while also offering warmth and comfort. – This grounding oil helps relieve nausea and digestive upset, while also offering warmth and comfort.
Benefits of the Flu Relief Blend
1. Immune Support
The powerful combo of cinnamon and ginger offers natural immune support, helping your body fight off unwanted invaders.
2. Air Purification
This blend works to reduce airborne bacteria and leave your home smelling fresh and clean—without the harsh chemicals.
3. Nausea and Discomfort Relief
Ginger’s soothing effect is especially helpful for easing nausea, which always seems to tag along during flu season.
How to Use the Flu Relief Blend
1. Diffuse It
Add the full blend (6 drops total) to your diffuser with water. Let the spicy-sweet aroma fill your home while it supports wellness and refreshes the air.
2. Topical Application (with Caution)
Dilute this blend heavily (especially because cinnamon is a hot oil). Use a carrier oil and apply to the bottoms of feet or the back only. Do not apply near the face or sensitive skin.
3. Steam Inhalation
Add a few drops to a bowl of hot water, cover your head with a towel, and breathe deeply for soothing sinus relief.
Safety Tips
- Always dilute this blend before topical use (especially cinnamon!).
- Avoid using near the face or on sensitive skin.
- Not recommended for children under 10.
- Keep out of reach of pets.
- If pregnant or nursing, consult your doctor before use.
Why I Love This Blend in Cold & Flu Season
This blend has been in my rotation for a while now, and it’s become one I turn to again and again when the flu hits our home. It pairs beautifully with my Immunity Boosting Blend when I want to layer support and keep things natural but effective.
I’ve used this Flu Relief Blend on days when the sniffles hit hard, or when I need to freshen the house after everyone’s been lying around for days. It’s soothing, strengthening, and helps bring a little normalcy when the couch and tissues have taken over.
It’s not a cure, but it sure does bring comfort.
