With flu season in peak it’s time to boost the immune system with vitamin C and ward off germs with doTerra OnGuard products. It’s also important to eat healthy, stay hydrated and get enough rest. Opt for a more restorative yoga practice if you are feeling tired and take hot baths with lavender essential oil and epsom salts to draw toxins out of the body. If you are like me and get sinus infections often or have upper respiratory issues, cut out dairy from your diet and use eucalyptus essential oil (a few drops in a steaming hot pot of water or a few drops on your shower floor) to open the airways. I also love to diffuse doTerra Breathe at night so I wake up without sinus congestion. Ayurveda diet recommendations for this time of year is to eat warm soups and stews, cooked root vegetable or leafy greens and daily oil massage on your skin. Use herbs and spices such as ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, clove and cardamom. I also love to drink hot tea or make golden lattes this time of year to replace my coffee. Here’s the recipe. Enjoy, stay warm and well. Happy New Year.
