FLU ~ Shots TO GO!

I've been giving this Flu Season way to much attention lately!

Everyday it seems that a family member, a friend or a friend of a friend is battling the flu ARG!  This virus needs to be wiped from the face of the earth as far as I'm concerned.  Just last night, we had a flu related "situation" in the family worthy of sharing, here's what happened...

Number one son Cameron...our BBQ celebrity was on the road...had the flu...AND an important competition coming up this weekend.

He loves essential oils, is an avid user but he was on the road and the EOs were at home.  He thought he was outta luck!  Oh contraire!  

When I learned of his predicament, I reached out to Camp Wander friends on Facebook, certain someone in the area would help.  Sure enough, Good Samaritan Kendyall volunteered to meet Cameron, delivering a 4 day supply of Flu Bomb EOs and gel capsules with some extra Lemon and Breathe blend!  The doTERRA community is growing leaps and bounds, and we're pretty darn grateful for that especially today :))  Thanks again Kendyall and the AZ doTERRA community!

While all this was unfolding last night, I came up with a plan to help road warriors like Cam be better prepared to handle this kind of situation.  You'll need a few tools and an Altoid Tin...and of course, doTERRA essential oils which are pure enough to take internally.

For those of us familiar with the Cold & Flu Bomb, we usually fill a gel capsule when needed (about every 3 hrs).  However, when you're on the road, stopping to fill a capsule every 3 hours isn't very convenient and filling them ahead of time is dicey as they can leak and our oils are too precious to let that happen!

This is my big save!  Fill {5} 5/8 dram glass bottles {available here} with single servings of your favorite Cold & Flu Bomb recipe, this is mine:

3 drops Oregano

3 drops Melaleuca

3 drops On Guard Immunity Blend

Of course, this TO ~ GO method involves taking with water.  It's not that bad!  I recommend emptying a vial in an ounce or two of water and downing quickly!  Five vials would constitute about 1 day's worth of bombs, feel free to make more of course!

I also added a few On Guard Throat Drops as part of the protocol.  They're amazing little blobs of immunity boosting essential oils:  Clove, Wild Orange, Myrrh, Eucalyptus, Cinnamon and Rosemary!  

The little wonders compliment the bombs very nicely.

Be Prepared!  

Help your friends and loved ones take precautions, send your Road Warriors out into the wild, wild world with a few essential oils in a really cool Altoid Tin ;)  

Stay Well!
