Liz Seal Holistic Massage
Diffusing or burning oils around the home can subtly fragrance and cleanse the air, while lifting the mood. I have formulated the Keep Well blend to stimulate the immune system. This will prompt the body to heal and protect us from the airborne bacteria which may cause ill health. The Essential oils in this blend will also support respiratory health, being antiseptic and antiviral. Emotionally, these oils will calm, ground and balance. This can help to slow the breathing and reduce stress.
Immunity is defined as the body’s ability to resist infection. Our immune system may be compromised by long term ill health. Immunity to an invading pathogen may be acquired naturally or artificially, as well as actively or passively. Some immunity to disease may be acquired from our parents and can be stimulated when we are exposed to the antigens which will trigger a response. Artificially acquired immunity may be from immunisation, for example from the Flu vaccine. This is why people who suffer with long term health problems (such as Asthma, lung disease, chronic heart or liver disease) are advised to have the Flu vaccine. This will help protect them from the increased risk of flu during the winter months.
We can gently stimulate our immune system by having a healthy lifestyle. Eating more fresh fruit and vegetables along with a daily consumption of calcium-rich dairy products can support our immune system. Getting out of doors into natural daylight and getting a good night’s sleep will help while daily meditation and exercise can reduce stress. All of these will contribute towards keeping us healthy.
By diffusing the oils in Keep Well around our homes, we can boost this immunity in a gentle and natural way, helping our bodies to fight off infection and keeping us well!
