During cold and flu season, we tend to reach for the hand sanitizer

more often, unaware that these so called 'sanitizers' have a high

alcohol content. A number of people, including children, have had

side effects from the amount of alcohol absorbed through the skin.

Children are also very prone to putting their hands/fingers in their

mouths, which adds to the level of toxins they ingest.

There are alternatives to protecting yourself and your children from germs and

viruses this winter. Young LIving Organic Oils is a company based out of

Colorado that extracts natural, healing oils

from plants. What makes them different from other oil companies is

they use a process called cold pressing, which leaves all the vital nutrition,

vitamins and healing properties in tact. They are also the only company that

sells organic oils. Most other oil companies heat or steam press their

products

which weakens and eliminates the vitamins and properties. They also

use additives and yes, alcohol, as a carrier base for the oils.

Products

Young Living has a large variety of oils that heal, enhance and strengthen the

immune system in addition to everyday health issues such as eczema,

warts, moles, asthma and insomnia, to name a few. Listed below are a

sample of oils and their uses:

Thieves - a

combination of cloves, eucalyptus and cinnamon bark , this oil was used

during the plague epidemic to protect against the deadly disease.

Using this oil as a hand sanitizer doubles it's benefits by inhaling

into the lungs. It coats and protects the lungs from germs and disease

while boosting the immune system. It has a list of uses that range

from health protection to cleaning your tub! The best part is it is

totally safe and non toxic.

Peppermint - this

oil has such a wide variety of uses it should be a staple in every

medicine cabinet. One drop of oil on the tongue daily has the healing

benefits of 28 cups of peppermint tea! It has been used for centuries

to protect the immune system. A drop daily will protect against germs

and viruses. It also has many other uses such as a deterrent for mice,

roaches and other pesky visitors. It alleviates joint pain, burns and

sinus congestion. Perfectly safe for children and adults, although

your pets might find it a bit offensive.

Purification - one of the best known mold killers out there, this oil eliminates

94%

of mold and mildew in the air while eliminating germs and airborne

viruses. This is one of the safest household cleaners with more

benefits to your health than the cancer causing chemicals found in

every over the counter product. Typically used as a

sanitizer/antibacterial cleaner for the house, purification is a

preventative measure in protecting your family's health and your home

from unwanted germs.
