As you’ve been following the news, Swine flu has affected many cities throughout the North America. People have reason to panic. However, instead of panicking it’s better to think calmly about the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from infection.

What is Swine Flu and how can you get it?

The Swine Flu virus (H1N1) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by what is known as type A influenza virus and causes outbreaks in pigs.

Swine flu CANNOT be spread by eating pork that is properly cooked, but the virus is primarily spread by human-to-human contact. Humans can pass H1N1 to another person by sneezing or coughing. It can also be passed indirectly by coming in contact with contaminated surfaces.

You might want to know what are the symptons of H1N1 so that you will know whether you are infected or not, so you can seek immediate treatment.

What are the symptoms of Swine Flu H5N1?

Symptoms of this swine flue include:

- Fever,

- Coughing

- Sore throat

- Body aches

- Headache

- Chills

- Fatigue.

Diarrhea and vomiting are also possible symptoms.

How to protect yourself from swine Flu?

It is absolutely essential that you wash your hands properly. Use a good amount of soap and warm water. As well, use paper towels to turn off the tap so that you don’t recontaminate you hands. Anti-bacterial soap is recommended.

If possible, try to buy N95 masks to prevent breathing in particulates that have been contaminated the virus. However, you must realize that N95 masks are not 100% effective as virus as often too small to be blocked from entering your longs.

Nevertheless, they can offer some protection if they are worn properly (eg. properly sealed). However, there is a highly effective ’secret weapon’ that you can have at your home.

Secrets of Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils

The secret is the use of Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils. As you might know, unlike drugs that are manufactured in precise batches, each batch of Essential Oils is unique. This is important because viruses and bacteria cannot figure out what they are up against (since their ‘enemy’ is always changing faces).

Therefore, viruses and bacteria cannot develop resistance to Essential Oils. You see, Essential Oils are derived from trees and other plants that use Essential Oils to protect themselves from attack.

The secret of using the plant’s ’secret weapon’ to protect humans goes back centuries, when the “Black Death” (bubonic plague) that devastated much of Europe. A handful of thieves used this ’secret’ to protect themselves from contracting the bubonic plague so that they could rob from those who were dying from the plague. It sounds pretty harsh of them but we do have to give them credit for being smart.

Instead of being like the selfish albeit, smart thieves, who didn’t share their secret, why not get some Essential Oils for yourself and your loved ones?

Effective Use of Essential Oils With Aromatherapy Diffuser

It should be noted however, that in order to diffuse the Essential Oils throughout your room, you would need what is called an aromatherapy diffuser.
