Cold and flu season will soon be upon us.

Chances are that many of us will feel the systems again in the near future.

Most essential oils are antimicrobial, so they can kill germs that cause colds and flu.

Inhalation and steams are therapeutic, powerful ways to get essential oils into the respiratory system.
