Breathe-Your Way Through Cold and Flu Season

I have really been enjoying these dōTERRA oils.  Just in the last few weeks I have helped people find ways to relieve migraines, strep throat, nausea and keep our family cold free.  I have been using On Guard on the girls as an immune booster and we have been keeping away colds etc. this season.  However, we are prepared! 
Today I do want to introduce you to an awesome respiratory blend.  It is a great and safe alternative to the common Vicks VapoRub without the petroleum or turpentine.
