Say Boo to the Flu!

Anyone out there looking for a natural immune system booster for the cold/flu season?

I went to a Young Living Essential Oil workshop yesterday that discussed the health benefits of some of the oils and how they can help your body fight off colds/flu!

The speaker was Amy Jane from Organica Jane.  She is a promoter of these oils, is a Certified Holistic Aromatherapist, and is working on becoming a massage therapist.  She was also recently on the Dr. Oz show showing some of her skin care blends that she makes from these oils.

The workshop was very interactive and we discussed the health benefits of the oils in one of her blends that she sells called “Say Boo to the Flu”
