This material is for educational purposes only to make people aware of the coming threat of the Swine Flu and other drug-resistant infectious diseases.

Preferably one who is familiar with nutrition and aromatherapy.
Prevention
• Wash hands vigorously and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 1 minute every 2-3 hours during flu season. Avoid commercial antibacterial soaps, as they destroy good bacteria as well as the bad, which causes the virus to mutate and become more resistant. To 1 bottle of Silk Hand and Body Wash, add 20-30 drops of Guardian blend. This will supercharge the Silk, giving it antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Carry a smaller size of this mixture in purse or pocket and use often when away from home.
• Create an antibacterial, antiviral disinfectant spray for use on toilet seats, doorknobs, shopping carts, and other areas where many other hands have made contact. Add 20-30 drops of Guardian to 4 oz. of distilled water in a cobalt blue glass spray bottle. Shake well before each use. Carry a 2 oz. bottle with you to spray when away from home. • Make a disinfectant hand lotion to replace commercial antibacterial hand cleaners, which also destroy beneficial bacteria. To a 4 oz. bottle of unscented (if possible) hand lotion or Balance Gel, add 10 drops Eucalyptus radiata, 10 drops Tea Tree, and 4 drops Peppermint. Shake or mix well.
• Add Guardian to your washing machine and dishwasher to prevent germs from being passed between family members. In the washing machine, add 10-12 drops as it is filling. In the dishwasher, add 5-6 drops to the detergent just before running it.
• Use Eucalyptus globulus or Eucalyptus radiata with your household cleaners to disinfect garbage pails, mop floors, clean sinks and counters, and other cleaning projects. To a mop bucket, add 10-12 drops as you add the water. For other cleaning projects, add 10-12 drops per gallon of water.
• Diffuse Lemon for 15 minutes, 2 or 3 times a day. Lemon is extremely effective against airborne pathogens. You can substitute Kids’ Wellness blend for the Lemon, if you desire. It contains Lemon and other antibacterial and antiviral oils. (Keep cats out of the room or make sure they have access to non-diffused air; they cannot metabolize oils the way dogs and humans do, and it can quickly become toxic to them.)
• Build your immune system during flu season. Use Defense on your feet (or Kids’ Wellness for children) when getting dressed in the morning, and again when preparing for bed. For adults, use 3-4 drops of Defense on the bottoms of each foot. For children under 2, use 1 drop on each foot; for 2-year-old, use 2 drops. For children age 3-10—and the elderly or those with liver conditions—use 3 drops on each foot.If you or a family member become ill
• At first sign of throat infection, use Dr. Pénoël’s Tea Tree Lick. Place 1 drop Tea Tree on little finger and lick it off, swish around to mix with saliva, and swallow. Repeat as necessary every 5 minutes up to 5 times. For children 3 years and younger, apply topically to throat and gland area; dilute 3-4 drops in 1 tsp. Message Oil.
• Use a good nebulizing diffuser for inhalation therapy and place it within 1-2 feet of the exposed person. (Use care to avoid getting it into eyes.) A t first indication of flu, add 10 drops Ravensara and 5 drops each of Lemon and Lavender to the diffuser. Diffuse for up to 10 minutes. Repeat 3-4 times daily. Alternate the above with 15-20 drops Exchange added to a quart of water in a cold water vaporizing diffuser. Use between applications of nebulizing diffuser. You can also add Exchange to vaporizer at night while sleeping.
• Apply Ravensara to soles of feet. For adults, use 3-6 drops on each foot; reapply every hour until you see improvement, then 4 times daily until symptoms disappear. For children, apply 3-4 times daily. If under 2 years, use 1 drop per foot; for 2-year-olds, use 2 drops; for children 3-10, use 3 drops.
• Create a chest rub by diluting 6-10 drops Exchange in 1 T. Message Oil. Apply to chest and back over lung area, then apply warm moist towel to area. For children under 6 years dilute 3-6 drops Exchange in 1 T. Message Oil. For children under 3 (and the elderly or infirm), in place of Exchange, use 1 drop each of Ravensara and Eucalyptus radiata diluted in 1 T. Message Oil.
• When symptoms first appear, apply Spice of Life to soles of feet to boost immunity. Adults: 3-4 drops on each foot every 15 min. for 1 hour; thereafter, every half hour for 1 hour, then every hour during waking hours for a total of 10‑15 applications. This application can be used directly after the Ravensara foot application. For children, use Kids’ Wellness blend on soles of the feet instead of Spice of Life. Under 2 years: 1 drop; 2 years: 2 drops; ages 3-10: 3 drops. R epeat every hour up to 5 hours, then every 4 hours while awake. This can follow application of Ravensara. C hildren under 6 months: Instead of Kids’ Wellness, use 1 drop Ravensara.
• For fever, use Eucalyptus radiata in a sponge bath. Add 10-12 drops to a quart jar of room-temperature (or slightly cooler, but not cold) distilled water. Shake well and pour into bowl. Soak washcloth and bathe the individual. The 1,8 cineol in the oil helps keep the body from exceeding a safe temperature. Monitor the person closely, as Eucalyptus can cool them quickly; you do not want them to become chilled.
• If patient is in serious condition or not responding quickly enough, internal use of essential oils may be necessary. Adults (with no history of liver problems): make up capsules with essential oils diluted in olive oil. Use size “00” veggie caps (available at health food stores) and fill bottom section 3/4 full of olive oil. A dd 2 drops Spice of Life and replace cap. Take 1-2 capsules 3-4 times daily with food. If stomach irritation occurs, reduce Spice of Life to 1 drop per capsule. Do not make up more than 2-3 days’ worth of capsules, as they can deteriorate or dissolve. (These capsules can also be used as suppositories; use 1 capsule every hour for 4 hours, then every 2 hours for 4 applications.) Children: dilute essential oil with Message Oil and add it to applesauce. Age 3-10: mix 1 drop each of Tea Tree, Ravensara, and Eucalyptus radiata with 1 tsp. olive oil. Add 1-2 drops of this mixture to 1 T. applesauce and give to child 3 times daily. Children under 3: do not use essential oils internally; use on feet.
• Address depression and anxiety, if needed, by applying TLC to a tissue and slip inside pillowcase. TLC or Bergamot can also be diffused (when not diffusing other oils). Geranium is also an excellent balancing and antidepressive oil; diffuse or apply to a tissue. Lavender, a natural relaxer, can be blended with Roman Chamomile for added effectiveness; add1 drop Roman Chamomile to 9 drops Lavender.
• Make sure you are eating a healthy diet, particularly during flu season. E liminate fast foods, sugar, and highlyprocessed foods, all of which compromise the immune system. Supplement your diet with essential nutrients which the body requires for proper function. FrequenSea is an easy and excellent way to provide these nutrients.
