So where do lavender’s illness-preventing properties stem from? Lavender is an exceptional natural bactericide, and also stimulates the production of white blood cells, thereby creating a robust defense through your immune system.

With the threat of flu and antibiotic-resistant superbugs that come with the chilly season, foregoing hazardous vaccinations and heading toward the lavender aisle instead is a smart choice.

A hand sanitizer offers a convenient, on-the-go protection. Simply mix up one tablespoon of aloe vera gel, three tablespoons of grain alcohol and 10 drops of lavender oil in a leak-proof bottle. Use the sanitizer liberally throughout the day to fend off germs

2: Apply the oil directly
Place a few drops of therapeutic grade lavender oil directly onto your skin several times per day to ready your immune system to tackle those pesky cold bugs and flu viruses.

3: Make an antiseptic soap
Washing your hands frequently using a germicidal soap is a great way to stay germ-free! Combine 20 drops of lavender oil with 250 ml liquid soap in a mixing bottle. Shake the bottle vigorously to combine the ingredients. Transfer the soap to a dispenser and use as often as you please.

4: Shake up a disinfectant spray
Using lavender oil in the form of a disinfectant spray will help keep your environment free of breeding pathogens.
