Support your immune system this winter!

The winter immune boost oils, such as Fir, Pine, Eucalyptus, are a must have for strong & healthy inspired living in our Canadian Winter. But, did you know that the age old Forest Bathing (making waves in North America) has real medical health benefits? 

What Does the Science Say?

It has been reported that “aromatic volatile substances derived from trees, called phytoncides, such as α-pinene and limonene significantly increased NK activity and the intracellular levels of anti-cancer proteins in NK cells in vitro (6). Thus, in the present study we investigated whether phytoncide exposure in vivo affects human immune function.”

By breathing in air infused with citrus oils and green tree oils, we can support our body to better fight off viruses in the winter months.

More on the wonderful world of essential oils…

[Eucalyptus essential oils] helps reduce sinus drip, sinus infections and sinus congestion. They dry out the mucous membranes, which is very welcome over the winter months, when we may struggle with the common cold symptoms of ‘drippy nose’

Eucalyptol is naturally produced cyclic ether and monoterpenoid. Eucalyptol is an ingredient in many brands of mouthwash and cough suppressant. It controls airway mucus hypersecretion and asthma via anti-inflammatory cytokine inhibition. Eucalyptol is an effective treatment for nonpurulent rhinosinusitis. Eucalyptol reduces inflammation and pain when applied topically.
