Common Cold

Condition:

Definition:

A cold is a mild viral infection of the nose, throat, sinuses and upper airways. It’s very common and usually clears up on its own within a week or two.

There are over 200 viruses that can cause a cold. Cold viruses take up residence in the lining of the nose and grow, eventually attempting to infect the body. If the body is weak or unable to resist the germs, it will get sick.

Symptom:

The main symptoms of a cold include:

a sore throat
a blocked or runny nose
sneezing
a cough
runny nose
low-grade fever
body aches

More severe symptoms, including a high temperature (fever), headache and aching muscles can also occur, although these tend to be associated more with flu.

Evidence does suggest that stress and allergies can increase your chances of getting a cold. Colds generally last from about two days to two weeks.

Protocol:

Common Cold

Diffuse (see below) 3-5 drops of each of the following during the day (if possible) and at night, while sleeping:

Thieves
Covid Steam 5ml 10ml

Steam (see below) with 3-5 drops of the Covid Steam 5ml 10ml for between 5-10 minutes throughout the day, as needed.

Topically apply Chest Blend 50ml 100ml over the chest, as needed, and also inhale (see below).

Drink 1 capsule of the Natural Antibiotic Blend, once a day or up to 2 capsules in severe cases.

Drink 1 teaspoon, twice a day, of the MZN 150g 450g, and swallow the MZN, as you would swallow yogurt.

In addition, you can also prepare a tea with honey and add 1 drop each; Lemon 5ml 10ml, Ginger 5ml 10ml, and Garlic 5ml 10ml.

Steam Method

Add 3-4 drops (or as otherwise advised) of essential oil/diffuser blend to boiling water in a large pot or heatproof bowl. Immediately after adding the essential oil, cover the bowl with a large bath towel to avoid molecules from escaping into the air. Place your face above the bowl underneath the towel, not too close to avoid the steam from burning your skin, inhale the hot steam through your nose for no more than two minutes at a time and for a total of approximately 10 minutes.

Diffuse 2-3 drops of each oil; maximum 10-12 drops in total, at a time, unless otherwise advised.

NOTE: Always use an ultrasonic diffuser (with a diffusing duration of at least 8 hours), to diffuse pure essential oils. Do not use a humidifier, air purifier, or a candle, as they only smell good and have no further effect. An electric, ultrasonic, diffuser dispenses essential oils into the air through vibrations of a plate which causes ultrasonic waves, creating microscopic particles of oils that disperse into the air. It, therefore, breaks open the essential oil volatile molecules, to have a medicinal effect in that it can penetrate through the blood-brain barrier. It is always good to use a diffuser at night while you are sleeping.

Inhale Method

Drip 2-3 drops of suggested essential oil or as otherwise directed, into the palm of the hands, rub once to open the molecules (rubbing will evaporate the oil), cup your hands around your mouth and nose, and deeply inhale.

Supplement with garlic – studies suggest that supplementing with garlic will lead to fewer colds and faster recovery. Echinacea and Elderberry act as anti-inflammatories, helping reduce symptoms of cold and flu.
