We spend a great deal of time thinking about what to do when we become unwell, yet far less time considering how to support ourselves before illness gains a foothold.
When colds and flu are circulating through workplaces, schools, airports and shopping centres, take five minutes each morning to create a protective aromatic ritual. Protection Blend was specifically formulated to help support us during those times when we are sharing spaces with many people and would like an extra layer of botanical support.
There are many simple ways to use it. Add a few drops to an ultrasonic diffuser at home, in a classroom or workplace. Place a drop or two on a handkerchief and tuck it into a pocket, or add a few drops to a tissue and inhale periodically throughout the day. Some people like to place a drop on a scarf, collar or the cuffs of a jacket, creating an aromatic shield that travels with them wherever they go. It can also be added to a water-based spray and lightly misted around personal spaces or clothing before heading out into the community.
The blend contains essential oils traditionally valued for their potent antimicrobial and antiviral properties. As the aromatic molecules disperse through the air, they create an environment that is less welcoming to unwanted microbial visitors while helping to keep the respiratory passages feeling fresh and clear.
Just as we wash our hands, rest well and nourish ourselves with wholesome food, aromatic self-care can become part of our daily preventative toolkit.
A few drops. A few breaths. A simple ritual that helps us move through the world feeling protected, prepared and supported during the colds and flu season when extra care matters most.
