Worried about Swine Flu, Bird Flu, or any other Flu or Cold?
How do you catch the flu? (Including Swine Flu) The live virus must come in contact with you directly in order to catch it. That means it can be spread, whether other symptoms are showing or not, by:
If you are concerned about the swine flu being in your area, view the CDC swine flu chart, which lists the confirmed cases in the US. (do not right click)
Symptoms of the Flu: (same for Swine Flu (H1N1) and other flu's) Swine Flu symptoms are similar to regular flu. The symptoms include:
If you have any of these symptoms, please be checked by your medical doctor.
We do not want to have a flu epidemic (swine flu or otherwise) on our hands. Take the following precautions if you already have flu symptoms:

WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO?? (back to top)
Health With Essential Oils Overview Plants have long been known to have healing properties. Dr. Jean Valnet said, "Essential oils are especially valuable as antiseptics because their aggression toward microbial germs is matched by their total harmlessness toward tissue."
Researchers are finding that viruses, bacteria, and other micro-organisms cannot survive or even mutate when therapeutic-grade essential oils from plants are introduced. One of these powerful essential oils is Oregano. Researchers at Georgetown University have found that therapeutic-grade Oregano essential oils work "as effectively as traditional antibiotics." In fact they found that nothing could withstand oregano. This is very valuable information for those of us concerned about potential pandemics (including swine flu).

Therapeutic-Grade Before continuing I must mention that commercially sold extracts labeled as These are the ones you can find in your local health food store. These oils are perfume-grade or aromatherapy-grade at best (nice to smell). Only therapeutic-grade essential oils will have therapeutic results. And ONLY therapeutic-grade essential oils can be taken internally! Learn more about why purity matters.
The flu, swine flu, and other gross bugs are everywhere. So, how do we get rid of germs, bacteria, and viruses? The answer is NOT in using anti-bacterial soaps. That's what got us in this pickle in the first place. All these germs and such have become resistant to anti-bacterial soaps, antibiotic products, and other man-made stuff. Learn more on Oprah's website.
However... bacteria, viruses, germs, etc... cannot become resistant to essential oils! The reason, in a nutshell, is because the properties of the oils change every year,
the germs can't keep up!
Thieves® (back to top) Thieves® is a Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil Blend made by Young Living. Here is a brief explanation about how Thieves got its name. Basically, there was a plague, called 'Black Death'
across Europe killed about 30% of the population. It took less than a week for someone to die from the plague. It could be caught from both the sick and the dead. Gross. Okay - so.. there was a group of merchants who
robbed never got sick. These thieves were arrested in 1413 in France and given a lighter sentence in exchange for their secret recipe. This recipe included aromatics (herbs & oils).
Thieves® therapeutic-grade essential oil blend It contains the essential oils of:
When tested at Weber State University, Thieves® was found to have a 99.96% kill rate against airborne bacteria after only 12 minutes of diffusing! Since the swine flu and other flu's and colds are airborne - I am SO glad I have Thieves oil!
In 2006 Thieves® blend was proven to be totally effective against dangerous black mold through scientific research. Learn more about Thieves® & Mold.
Young Living Essential Oils are therapeutic-grade essential oils. Each plant is grown organically and each crop is turned into pure therapeutic-grade essential oils through the art of distillation. Young Living has many different therapeutic-grade essential oils, blends, nutritional supplements, and other products enhanced with essential oils. See the Young Living Farm website below.

So, What am I Doing? (back to top) Now, I am not a medical doctor, I am not in any way announcing that If you think you may have the swine flu or But to help with all the confusion I will tell you what I am doing in preparation to
avoid swine flu, seasonal flu, and what I would do if I came in contact with or contracted swine flu or any other flu or virus.
After all, there's a lot more out there then just H1N1!
In short, I am using the following Young Living products:
to protect my family and help our immune systems be strong. I will also be upping our dosages if I feel we need an added boost and more if we start showing signs of becoming sick.
I use Young Living's Essential OilsFirst I would pick the right essential oils to use for my situation - this time I've got seasonal flu and swine flu on my mind. So, I am looking for therapeutic-grade essential oils clinically tested against bacteria, viruses, molds, and other germs. I am also looking for essential oils that I can use internally for strengthening my immune system and fighting off any buggers that get in me. Speaking of which. If you are wondering how I know what to pick. I use the Essential Oil Desk Reference from Essential Science Publishing. I love it - it's my Essential Oil Bible.
