Essential Oil Cold & Flu Bomb

Whenever I feel a tickle in my throat, I start taking these cold bombs 2-3 times a day. It usually beats the cold before it settles. I use doTerra oils for this.

In an empty capsule:
5 drops Oregano
5 drops On Guard
5 drops Melaleuca
2 drops Peppermint
4 drops Lemon

Warning, you may feel like a fire-breathing dragon after taking this! My husband says it's like Christmas in his tummy.
