Aromatherapy Natural health DIY

I'm preparing for winter as soon as I go back to school

This winter, I decided not to stay indoors for fear of catching a cold: I'm adapting to the season by taking the usual precautions, boosting my defenses and taking care of myself, naturally.

1. I create my atmospheres

In winter, temporal and geographical boundaries are reduced both by the cold and by the shorter days. However, there is a notable difference between shutting oneself away and cocooning: intention. I stay at home because I chose to. And I take care of my home because I spend more time there than in summer. I treat myself to delicate teas to which I add a spoonful of Pranarôm's traditional Natural Defenses recipe. And I diffuse scents that bring good humor or purify the room.

2. I boost my natural defenses

Thanks to my ally, Pranarôm's Aromaforce natural defense solution. It's a balanced blend of essential oils of Lavandin super, Bois de Ho, Eucalyptus radiata, Niaouli, Rosemary, Eucalyptus globulus, Ravintsara, Peppermint, Clove, and Tea tree. Ten 100% pure and natural essential oils selected by Dominique Baudoux for their highly complementary properties.
A reflex to adopt in cures of 1 to 3 weeks followed by a break of one week: I take 1 drop every morning in a yogurt, honey or in a crumb of bread.

3. I relieve my symptoms

The Aromaforce range offers products tailored to all winter ailments and individual preferences: nasal spray, throat spray, syrup, throat lozenges, and offers treatments such as inhalation and chest balm massage to facilitate breathing. All of these treatments combine propolis, echinacea, and essential oils known for centuries for their powerful action.
If I want to adapt the same principles to my children, I discover the PranaBB range .

4. I adopt Essential Oil capsules

If, despite all these precautions, my body is unable to resist the attackers, I accept the necessary rest and seize the opportunity. I follow my doctor's advice and also tell him about Aromaforce Capsules made with essential oils for the bronchi or for the nose and throat.
Easy to use, they allow you to take larger quantities of essential oils with very strong anti-infectious properties without the risk of side effects. This is a significant opportunity to significantly reduce the need for antibiotics, or to boost their effectiveness if they prove essential.
Precautions for use: Be sure to follow the precautions for use specific to each capsule.

5. Essential Oils to Include in Your First Aid Kit This Winter

If the essential oil is unavailable, I replace it with Marjoram Essential Oil CT Thujanol . This oil is suitable for local or oral use. Do not use in diffusion.

A powerful essential oil to use especially in cases of emotional shock or nervous disorders.

The basics of essential oils, which we usually use in summer, are also very pleasant in winter, precisely because they remind us of the joys of the beautiful season, but not only that.
