Memorials, viewings, and funerals are times of great emotion with many people around. Often, when the immune defenses are low, "insult is added to injury" with a cold coming on after the family has dispersed back to their own homes.
This blend is applied as a spray to be used as needed during these difficult times. Since the blend contains antiviral essential oils and it is in an alcohol spray, it can also double as a make-shift hand sanitizer since out of town accommodations may necessitate packing quickly and lightly.
Essential oil blend:
- 2 parts Melissa - antiviral & calming
- 2 parts Frankinscense - calming
- 1 part Coriander - indicated for sadness
- 1 part Lavender - calming, antiviral, improves the scent of the blend
- 1 part Black Spruce - adrenal support for stress
Add 1.5mL of the essential oil blend to a 1 oz. glass bottle of vodka. Cap with a sprayer, shake vigorously and label.
