Essential Oil for Sniffles

Do you have the sniffles, allergies, a cold, or the flu? This essential oil blend may help relieve some of your symptoms and help your body fight infection. Also, it smells AMAZING; I love to diffuse it. It freshens the air and lifts my mood. Sniffles or not, this is my go-to diffuser blend.

Diffuser Blend:

• 3 drops Lavender
