Butterfly Express - Virus Fighting Breezy Essential Oil

 


Breezy - Antiviral


Breezy is one of my favorite Butterfly Express Essential Oils and one I always have on hand for nasty colds.  It is very effective in opening the sinuses and clearing out the bronchial passages.  I run it in a diffuser at night when my kids are sick to help clear out those passages but find it most effective rubbing it on the chest or back. As with any oil when applying to the skin, use a carrier oil such as sweet almond or whichever carrier you prefer. Never apply directly to the skin and never take it internally. 

I have also tried using Breezy for snoring...run it in a diffuser in my room and slept so peacefully. Not once did I wake up to loud snoring.

Aspire - Essential Oil for Nasty Colds

 

Butterfly Express Essential Oils - Aspire

My youngest was coughing all through the night and congested with a miserable head cold. This was right during the soccer season, so of course, on the field, she could barely run due to not being able to breathe. She was absolutely miserable and of little help to her soccer team.  I was desperate to help her find relief.  During the nights I would put a stinky rag around her neck, a little trick I learned from my mom.  The stinky rag includes Vicks vapor rub and rubbing alcohol poured on to it then pinned around her neck.   This is great at opening up airways during the night, but who wants to walk around with a stinky rag around their neck during the daytime.

Enter essential oils. I am extremely new to essentials oils but I thought I would give them a try.  I had heard about Butterfly Express from a good friend so I did a little research.  I wanted a quality product without additives and according to my research Butterfly Express fit the bill, they are therapeutic grade essential oils without added chemicals.  One of my top reasons for choosing Butterfly Express was the quality, the second was that they are not an MLM company so no signing up required. I can order how many I want when I want.

Deliverance - A Potent Antiviral and Antibacterial Essential Oil

 If you have been following my blog, you know that Aspire is one of my favorite Butterfly Express Essential Oils and one that I make sure I have for the winter season.  I decided to branch out and try Deliverance, one of the most potent antiviral and antibacterial essential oils that Butterfly Express sells.   Deliverance is a great oil to have on hand during those cold winter months when colds and the flu seem to spread more.  Deliverance contains a mixture of some of the most potent antiviral and antibacterial essential oils that have a wide range of uses such as soaking the family toothbrushes to kill off germs.   I am a little bit curious to know if it will kill Coronavirus but have yet to find any information on its effectiveness against Coronavirus. Anyone know?


Luckily I haven't had a chance to try it out on sick kids yet, but I have been diffusing it in my home to kill off harmful bacteria and viruses in the air.   


Here are the details from Butterfly Express:

INGREDIENTS: cinnamon bark, clove, eucalyptus, lemon, oregano, oregano wild, rosemary, thyme

AFFINITY FOR: immune system, lymphatic system, skin

RESONANCE: physical, spiritual

Butterfly Express Essential Oil Rub

Butterfly Express Rubs

I hope you are all staying well during this time of uncertainty.  I wanted to share some of my favorite products with you.  I just discovered Butterfly Express Rubs.  They are wonderful and so soothing.  I purchased the Exhale rub at the beginning of the Cornovirus scare just to have it on hand.  One of my kids ended up with a cold, so instead of using Vicks Vapo Rub, I used Exhale.  The first time I put it on her, she asked if I could dilute it, because of the menthol crystals, it does have a cooling effect.  She did ask for it the next night though because she said it helped.  It is an amazing rub to use on the chest for the common cold. While it is safe for children,  please take into consideration the cooling effect. 

The following information comes from the Butterfly Express Webpage.

These Rubs are made with Almond Oil infused with herbs. Each of these has their own exceptional healing properties. Here is a little bit on each of them. 
Menthol Crystals (In all rubs) Menthol crystals are used for their analgesic and cooling effects. They contain a local anesthetic, antipruritic, analgesic, antispasmodic and anti-irritant qualities. They are used for pain relief and for things like sprains, sore or pulled muscles, muscle spasms and cramping, and minor aches and pains of any sort.
LN Carrier Oil (In LeDeeper, LeIntensity, LePaine, LePatches, and LeTendaCare Rubs) LN Carrier Oil contains the herbs comfrey, arnica, St. John's wort, lobelia, calendula, angelica root, valerian root, ginger root, and cayenne. These herbs, infused in almond oil, create a carrier oil which is amazing for injuries, bruising, inflammation, and the general pain and soreness that accompany injuries. The addition of lobelia in this infusion helps to deliver the other healing herbs to the area of concern quickly and relieves pain. The arnica works on sore, tight muscles and helps to reduce swelling of injured areas. Arnicas is not usually recommended for use on open wounds but in the small percentage that exists here, we have never had any problem over the course of many years. Comfrey is probably best known for its healing ability for bones and tissues, but it is also very helpful for chest congestion. Cayenne works on the blood and is very effective at improving overall circulation. With increased circulation comes better oxygenation and healing. LN oil is especially effective when coupling it with essential oils such as LePaine, LeDeeper, LePatches,LeTendaCare and LeWarmDown.
Mullein Oil (In LeBreezey and LeExhale Rubs) Mullein is anti-inflammatory and soothing. It is one of the best demulcent (healing and soothing) herbs there are, and also has astringent properties (drying to tissues) making it beneficial for ailments such as pneumonia. Mullein has been used for centuries because of its outstanding medicinal properties and has a particular affinity for the respiratory organs. Mullein also has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-spasmodic properties, thus increasing its value in respiratory ailments. Mullein oil should be used when applying oils to the chest for infections, coughs, and congestion. It can also be of benefit as a carrier oil when working with inflammation and pain.
Chamomile/Ginger Oil (In LeInsideOut Rub) Chamomile is excellent for ulcers, indigestion, and relief from nausea and morning sickness. It has a strong anti-histaminic effect, is a gentle liver cleanser, regulates peristalsis activity, and is used to treat diarrhea and constipation. Ginger is a well-known remedy for travel sickness, nausea, indigestion, colic, irritable bowel, loss of appetite, chills, flu, dyspepsia (bloating, heartburn, and flatulence), indigestion and gastrointestinal problems such as gas and stomach cramps. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory herb as well as anti-viral. Ginger acts on and strengthens the stomach, spleen, liver, bladder, and kidneys. It reduces pain, stimulates circulation, and prevents ulcer formation in the stomach.
Comfrey Oil (In LeMillenia Rub) Comfrey, often called knitbone, is high in vitamin C, E, A, and B vitamins, Calcium, Manganese, and Iron among others. It is a priceless herb for things like arthritis, osteoporosis, broken or fractured bones, sprains, wounds, bruises, and degenerating bones. Comfrey has been one of the most important first aid remedies known to men for centuries. It has been used in the healing of wounds and broken and fractured bones and also relieves pain and inflammation. Dr. Shook, a great herbalist, said “It does not seem to matter much which part of the body is broken or torn, either externally or internally, comfrey will heal it quickly. It is a great cell proliferant (stimulator of new cell growth); it grows new flesh and bone alike, soothing and healing the inflamed tissues in a most remarkable manner.”
