When you feel under the weather, this combination of essential oils will help you BREATHE and your immune system fight. Morning and evening, rub your chest and entire back, insisting on the kidneys area. You can also apply it 3 to 4 times a week just to support your body. It is not a medication and it should not be a substitute for any medical prescription.

What you need:

30 ml of nigella (nigella is black cumin oil; this is extremely helpful to strengthen the immune system but the smell is quite strong. So for those who cannot stand it, you can replace it by sweet almond oil or sesame oil).

10 ml of wheat germ oil; revitalizing, regenerating (optional; if you choose not to add it, put 40 ml of nigella)

4 drops of ravensara essential oil; ravensara aromatica; immuno-stimulant; fights viruses
4 drops of lavender essential oil; lavendula vera; helps clear mucus and regenerate the respiratory system
3 drops of rosemary essential oil; rosmarinus officinalis; stimulating; cleansing; clears the head and the respiratory system.
2 drops of pine essential oil; pinus sylvestris; antiseptic, warming, cleansing.

Create:

Mix all the ingredients in a 50 ml glass bottle. Make sure that you respect the above quantities. Shake well. Now you just have to find a generous person to give you a massage;) Or be kind to yourself and make it your little weekly ritual. Then stay warm!

This is a magical tea recipe to fight freezing cold, germs and even dark thoughts;) Boost your immune system, softly detox and breathe better.

What you need:

3 big pieces of fresh ginger (cut into thin slices)
5 teaspoons of honey*
1 to 2 squeezed lemon juice
1/2 squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon of loose dried thyme leaves
1 handful of fresh rosemary
1 pint of water (filtered!)

*All organic honey brands are usually of a high quality. But if you know your beekeeper, that’s even better. My favorite honey is chestnut honey, mainly for its intense nutty flavor and also because it helps with blood flow. Another fabulous one is the thick and dark Manuka honey from New Zealand (choose the 100% raw), which is antimicrobial and tastes amazing.

Heat water (don’t boil it). Add the ginger slices, the thyme leaves and the fresh rosemary. Let the mixture infuse during 5 minutes and strain. Add the lemon and the orange juice. Heat it a tiny little bit (but don’t boil!) so that the juices don’t make it colder. Add the honey and mix. Keep the tea in a thermos bottle and drink two to three mugs a day.

Note: you can always tweak the recipe according to your taste and/or health state (if you have to watch your sugar intake for example, it’s wiser to either avoid the honey or put only half a spoon).
