Essential Oils – A Relaxation Checklist to Get Rid of a Cold

If you want a fast guide to essential oils you can find out more. Here’s what you’ll need:

1 bottle of lavender oil… and a tea light candle – that’s it!

Now – Follow these simple steps:

1. As soon as you get home I want you to relax – you’re going to take a deep – long – hot bath.

Lavender Essential Oils – As soon as you’ve filled your bath generously with warm water, about 2 hours before your regular bedtime; pour in around 10 drops of lavender oil. The relaxing powers of lavender oil are going to help take care of any muscle tiredness, help you to relax and to prepare you for an amazing nights sleep. Spend at least half an hour soaking but be careful not to fall asleep just yet.

2. Prepare yourself for an amazing sleep, you’re having an early night.

Now, while you’re preparing for bed, I want you to place a few drops of the lavender oil onto an unlit tea light candle. Place the drops slightly away from the centre wick… then light. As you’re getting into your best pyjamas, the lavender oil scent will be spreading sleep inducing aromas around the room.

3. Start to unwind while you spend 10 – 15 minutes in bed with your favourite book.

Now before you settle down, I want you to take the tea light candle carefully out of the room and douse it. You don’t want the smoke from the candle to interfere with the lavender oil scent in the room. Now turn off your alarm – I want you to have a peaceful and relaxing night. Even if it means missing work tomorrow. Now close your eyes…

4. Start the next day feeling refreshed and your cold firmly under control.

The next day, rise as you normally would and fill a small glass with cool water and drink it slowly. I guarantee you’ll be feeling a whole lot better already. As your body accepts the powers of the pure lavender oil any cold symptoms will begin to retreat.

Lavender Oil and Complete Rest

Whenever you feel ill from the effects of a cold and you’re continuing to work, you’re not giving your body time to recover. You’ll also be spreading the dreaded rhino-pharyngitis virus around – and you wouldn’t want to do that now would you.

Begin to banish the dreaded cold symptoms now by getting yourself a bottle of 5 star rated pure essential oil … Go on treat yourself -  You know you’re worth it.
