Cold and Flu season coming!

Colds and flu season is on the way (well here in the UK at least), so boost your immune system to keep you healthy and avoid the dreaded bugs! A great way to do this is to add plenty of ginger, garlic and cayenne pepper to your meals, up your vitamin C intake by eating plenty of fruit/vegetables and diffuse some grapefruit essential oil in a vapouriser or oil burner-not only does this oil have antidepressant properties but it is also antiviral, antiseptic and anti-infectious making it a pleasant way to keep viruses at bay!

Im also in the uk and not looking forward to the colds and flu that will be coming our way soon! where is a good place to pick up essential oils? BB xx

You can get them from most chemists, definately at boots and also health shops like holland and barratt sell them. If you have a local new age/crystal shop they usually stock them but check they have not been standing too long as they do have a shelf life and older oils are less potent. There are several places you can buy them from online too, usually cheaper but check the reviews to make sure they are a reputable company as some mix in fragrance oils and try to pass them off as pure.

I'll bare that in mind then and make sure i check the dates on them. at some point ill put up a list of suppliers on the forum so that people know where to get their things from. Here in lincoln there are zero new age shops
