For all those who are worried about viral illnesses such as the Mexican flu or swine flu that we hear a lot about, there is a natural solution that aromatherapists have known for a long time:

• Essential oil of Ravensara aromatica
• Essential oil of Eucalyptus radiata

A few drops of each of the oils massaged into the crease of the elbow is usually enough to greatly improve the situation.

Especially since the effectiveness of the anti-viral drugs that everyone is talking about is widely suspected...

Remember to always have a bottle of one or the other (or both) of these essential oils with you when you travel (or keep it in your medicine bag).
