The Swine Flu (H1N1) can be treated with common antiviral drugs – which is a good news. Everything that can be treated can be prevented.

Many essential oils with anti-viral properties can be used everyday by children, adults and elders for prevention.

The safest way is to defuse essential oils it in the room (cold diffusion is preferable as this method does not destroy integrity of essential oil).

Diffuser can be used during the night in the bedroom or in the living room when your family gathered together for a chat, dinner or a movie. Diffusers are very effective in preventing the spread of infections among family members.

If you teach classes or work in the room with other people don’t hesitate to bring diffuser with you. Therapeutic essential oils are hypo allergic as they contain no protein and no man made chemicals. People also find essential oil smell non-offensive.

The following is the list of single essential oils that might be useful. Use them along or in combination (NB: essential oil must be of therapeutic grade to be effective): cinnamon bark, grapefruit, myrrh, coriander, cypress, eucalyptus globulus, eucalyptus radiate, helichrysum (everlasting or immortale), hyssop, lavender, bay leaf, cajuput, spearmint, Scots pine, revensara, rosemary, sage, clove bud, thyme, Idaho tansy, lemon, mountain savory, myrtle, peppermint.

Having an aromatherapy session on a regular basis is a very good preventive approach.
