West Nile Virus and Young Living Essential Oils

“Thus far in 2012, 47 states have reported West Nile virus infections. A total of 1118 cases of West Nile virus disease in people, including 41 deaths, have been reported to CDC.” That’s according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Of these 1118 cases, 537, or 48%, have been in Texas. And the percentage of deaths in Texas is almost the same at 46%.

That said, West Nile remains a relatively small threat. Most people bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus do not even know they’ve been exposed. In fact, few people develop severe disease or even notice any symptoms at all. However, people with depressed immune systems and older people and young children may be at higher risk.

In the case of West Nile Virus and most other health concerns, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So protect yourself from mosquitos, especially in the early fall (August and September) and maintain a healthy body and immune system with Young Living.

To protect yourself from mosquitos, eliminate their breeding grounds (or waters) around your house. Dump or regularly recycle all standing water. Check your outside flowerpots, birdbaths, pet bowls and the like. Eliminate the source and eliminate the problem.

Then protect yourself and your children with Young Living’s Purification blend. Apply Purification like you would any bug repellent. It works better than most and it doesn’t have any harmful chemicals.  And if you or your child does get bitten, apply Purification directly on the bite for relief.

There are some other all-natural insect repellents blends that we also use in addition to straightPurification. Here are two.

1. Combine equal parts R.C., Purification, Geranium, and Rosemary. Add twice the amount of V6 (or your favorite massage oil). It works and smells great!
2. Combine 10 drops Peppermint, 10 drops Purification, 10 drops Lemongrass, 10 drops Thieves. Add almond oil as a base.

But the best defense is still a good offense. And your best offense is your health. Even if you are exposed to West Nile Virus, if you have a healthy immune system you may not suffer any ill effects. To maintain good health, we recommend three steps.

1. Eat a healthy, well balance diet.
2. Drink 2 to 4 ounces of Young Living’s NingXia Red every day.
3. Supplement your nutrition with Young Living’s True Source Whole Food Multi-nutrients, Young Living’s Super C, and Young Living’s Super B.

Maintaining your health will benefit you in many more ways besides just protection against severe West Nile. It will provide you years of wellness.

What could be better than that?
