Cold, Flu or Sweat ? Which would you prefer?

September 5, 2008 by Curt Siters

The other day my girlfriend woke up sick. She asked me to get her some blankets as she was feeling chilled. I got them and covered her up. Then I went and got the diffuser from the living room and turned it on. It had Thieves(tm) essential oil blend in it. If she had a bug that should go quite a ways to helping her get over it.

I let it run for about 15 minutes and turned it off for a few hours and then turned it back on for another 15 minutes.

A few hours later she awoke and told me that as soon as I turned on the diffuser she started sweating. For those of you who don't know a fever is one way your body fights infections be they viral or bacterial. Whenever I feel like I have the flu or a cold I lay in bed with lots of blankets on to try and jumpstart the fever that I know is needed. I did this long before I knew about essential oils. I started doing it because I really do not like allopathic medicine.

So don't be afraid of running a temperature. Don't stop it, keep an eye on it, yes. If it does get too high it can cause damage top your body and maybe even death. Using a natural remedy such as Thieves(tm) won't harm your body. It can help.
