So I stumbled upon this article (leading to a website where you can purchase of course) a “miracle” immunity and flu prevention essential oil blend. (Made by what seems to be a small but high quality company, not the “big Two” we all know).
So anyway after reading testimonials of people fending off colds and flu and people who were sick and recovering quickly with using this blend; I finally found what was in it! There was of course no “recipe” for how much of each ingredient, but I am fairly savvy with essential oils (hot versus not, strength and usage). So I made my own flu/immunity blend and I want to share with everyone!
Here are the oils and ratios I used:
Lime 40 drops
Lemon 40 drops
Spearmint 20 drops
Peppermint 20 drops
Eucalyptus 20 drops
Rosemary 20 drops
Cinnamon 15 drops
Oregano 8 drops
Clove 20 drops
Mix together in a bottle and apply as liberally as you are comfortable to chest and bottoms of feet (being careful on chest being that oregano and cinnamon are “hot” oils). Also inhale off and on, and a drop or two on throat if sore throat is coming on. You can also diffuse into the air.
Both my parents are desperately ill and (so far, fingers crossed and prayers offered up) I haven’t gotten it yet.
I recommend only using doterra or Young Living brands as all others do not have the quality or purity or high standards. You do get what you pay for! I have test purchased from other lesser known “high end” companies that had good ratings, and found them lacking.
* of course you still need to do all the usual:
Drinks lots of water
Take a ton of vitamin C
Get enough sleep
Wash your hands often
Avoid touching your nose
Eat cleanly
I thought you and/or some of your readers might be interested in these links. I am not a Lyme person. I am a chemically injured person. But, in the chronically ill community, I have been in support groups with folks with Lyme. I copied down some resources from those interactions. I figure that most folks know about these things by now, but just in case someone doesn’t —
Here’s some articles and links about Lyme Disease, with emphasis on natural treatments:

Thank you so much for sharing!
Chronically ill people helping each other is how alternative education is moving forward. Definitely appreciated 🙂
All the best to you
oh, and one more link, from Dr. Mercola, a guide to essential oils. Ideally, one should really have an herbalist go over any formula you would like to use. Essential oils tend not to have contra-indications, but they can be harsh on the skin and mucus membranes, and also tend to not be great for folks with certain respiratory problems. Amazingly beneficial for some respiratory illnesses, but too strong for certain people’s respiratory systems, and also, particularly, for ill folks with some brain injury (a lot of the chemically injured people have some).

Great share thank you. I don’t pretend to be a medical practitioner or a prescriptionist. I am just able to share what I have learned and what has helped me. But yes always a good idea to read up on essential oils and have an understanding of their uses and “dangers”
