Bulletproof Your Immune System With These Tips

Eucalyptus Oil:

• This oil relieves congestion, decreases coughing/bronchitis, and kills infectious bacteria in your respiratory tract.
• If you're an adult, it's generally safe to put on your skin. Rub it under each nostril to help you breathe more easily.

Cinnamon Oil:

• Benefits: kills bacteria and fungi that are resistant to antibiotics.
• You can take this in pill form, but make sure you get Cinnamomum verum (Ceylon cinnamon) oil and not a Cassia product. (Cassia is high in coumarin, which can thin your blood and stress your liver and kidneys).
• Don't take cinnamon oil for more than a week as it's really powerful and can be toxic in high doses.
• If you’re taking the cinnamon oil in pill form, make sure you test it by applying a small amount of the oil on your skin before using it to make sure you're not sensitive to it.

Oregano Oil:

• Essential oil from oregano is antiviral, antifungal, and is an antioxidant.
• It contains carvacrol and thymol, both of which inhibit bacterial reproduction.
• The benefits of oregano oil’s benefits have only been tested in vitro (on bacteria in a glass dish). However, clinicians I work with have had serious success with it, especially for fungal and parasitic infections. Oregano oil can impact your gut bacteria also, so I recommend increasing your probiotics when you’re on oregano oil.
• If you want to give it a try, take 4-6 drops of oregano oil diluted with coconut oil or Brain Octane. Don’t take this for more than a week, though.

Tea Tree Oil:

• Benefits: kills resistant bacteria.
• This is great for disinfecting your house if you have a cold or flu.
• Try breathing in tea tree oil vapor to relieve congestion. Just don’t swallow this oil.
