Congested airways, constant sniffles, achy muscles, and restless nights. These are just some of the symptoms of seasonal colds and the flu. Having any one of these symptoms is enough to disrupt your quality of life, and they often hang around for much longer than they are welcome. Protect yourself and your family from unwanted illness with the help of our Flu Time Essential Oil Blend! 

Keeping a strong immune system is key to avoiding illnesses like a cold or the flu. Flu Time combines natural germ-fighting essential oils to help support your body's natural immune response. Diffuse Flu Time at home or around the office to kill germs in the air and protect yourself from getting sick in the first place. 

If you do end up catching the sickness bug, Flu Time can help ease the severity of your symptoms and aid in your body's natural healing process. Flu Time's spicy and minty aroma is perfect for easing head tension, relieving congested airways, expelling trapped phlegm, soothing a sore throat, quieting a cough, and more. Simply diffuse Flu Time around you, or apply topically as needed. This powerful combination of Frankincense, Peppermint, Spearmint, Cinnamon Bark, Lime, Ginger, and Lavender essential oils can help you avoid being miserable while sick, and get you back to feeling yourself faster.

Tips

Soothe the Flu Bath Soak
  • 1 cup of Epsom Salt
  • ½ cup of Baking Soda
  • 6 -10 drops of Flu Time

Mix all ingredients together in a sealable container. To use, add a few scoops of the mixture into a warm bath, and let the salts dissolve. Soak for 20-30 minutes.


Clear Up That Congestion Chest Rub
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
  • 25-35 drops Flu Time
Heat the coconut oil in a double boiler over low heat. Once melted, add the essential oil blend, and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a sealable container, and allow to cool completely. To use, rub a liberal amount on your chest, neck, and back to open up your airways.

Caution: This blend contains Cinnamon Bark, which is considered a "hot" oil and can cause skin irritation. Be sure to perform a patch test before applying topically, and dilute further if needed. Discontinue use if you experience skin irritation. 

Kids Safety: Safe to use around children ages 10 years and older. Dilute futher to a .5-1% dilution rate before applying topically on children.

Love love love this oil!
Love love love this oil! I personally think it smells wonderful! Like really really good. Because it is already diluted with coconut oil, I don’t like to use it in my diffuser, though I wish I could because it smells so good. BUT I am glad it is already diluted because I can add it straight to the skin of myself and my kids.

Great blend!
So far, so good. I use it on me and my daughter who goes to pre-K. Don't need those germs sticking and coming home with her. I put some on her in the morning. At night I rub some on our feet. It's so nice that it's already in a carrier oil. ?? Both of us like the smell. Not too overpowering. ??I'm sure it will be great to have all winter and into spring. ?? It's always good to be prepared and give our immune system a boost!

Must have oil
I absolutely love this oil. The smell is amazing. I use it when my kids show signs of illness or are ill. Put in the bath with Epsom salt, baking soda and ACV to make a detox bath. Soak for 40 minutes as hot as you can tolerate. Does wonders!! Also rub on the bottom of their feet and put socks on before bed.
Diffuse too!
A must have oil

Wonderful light scent
I love this blend because its not overpowering. When I am not feeling well the last thing I want is such a strong fragrance that it makes me feel more unwell. I gravitate towards lighter scents and this one is a keeper. I put it behind my ears and as in my diffuser. Makes me stuffiness in my head a lot clearer.

Favorite oil
This is my absolute favorite oil. I use it topically behind my ears and on my throat when I feel that cold creeping in. I use it preventively as well by diffusing or adding a few drops to a warm bath.

AWESOME OIL!
This is one of the few oils that my hubby will let me put on him! In fact, he will come looking for me to put it on his face mask, when he mows! We love it! Smells good and you can tell it is refreshing to the upper airways! (:

Why isn't theives offered?
Danielle D on Apr 16, 2017
BEST ANSWER: This brand calls it "immune strength".
When it says 80% fractionated coconut oil, does that mean only 20% is essential oil?
A shopper on Oct 15, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The 15 ml size is in a base of FCO. 80% FCO, 20% essential oil. We do have the 5 ml NEAT version of Flu Time that contains no carrier oil.

We dilute about half of our blends with FCO because they have luxury oils in them. This helps to keep the price affordable for our customers. We're now offering a 5 ml neat version for each of our 12 most popular 15 ml blends that are in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO).

The term "neat" means undiluted. Even though they are a little pricier, having a neat version of our blends will make it easier to dilute them correctly as well as diffuse with no worries. It also gives customers with coconut allergies a chance to the use our top blends. ​​

Thanks!

What carrier oil is best with immune strength?
D O on Feb 6, 2018
Flu Time (Bolster)
Flu Time (Bolster)
Immune Strength
Immune Strength
BEST ANSWER: Any kind of nut oil or seed oil will work as a carrier oil. We usually recommend starting with Fractionated Coconut Oil as it has no scent, does not stain fabrics, has an indefinite shelf life and remains a stable liquid consistency for easy blending.

When would you use this vs Immune Strength or vice versa?
A shopper on Nov 19, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Because each person possesses a unique body chemistry, people can react differently to certain oils. For that reason, we provide a variety of blends with similar properties to achieve the same therapeutic objective.

Both Immune Strength and Flu Time are used to help support the healthy function of the immune system. However, Immune Strength is considered the more potent of the two. Since it is not prediluted with FCO.

Since this is already diluted, how to I formulate the right dilution to put on my 7yr. old son, for instance, into a 10ml Roll-on bottle? Any help to this not so savvy math mom is appreciated!
abuxton13 on Jun 1, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Great question! Even though this blend is in a base of FCO, we recommend that you always use additional carrier oil to protect the skin. For children over 2 years +, we would suggest blending 6 drops of the blend per 2 tsp of carrier oil in the 10 ml bottle. Please visit our dilution chart on the website for tips. https://www.rockymountainoils.com/dilution-rate
Can you diffuse Flu Time even though it says topical? I'm new to EO.
A shopper on Aug 24, 2017

Stacey on Oct 18, 2017

What’s the difference between flu time, sacred immune and immune?
Virginia Q on Feb 8, 2018
BEST ANSWER: These blends are all very similar in what they are intended to do, however, they do have different ingredients. Because everyone reacts to oils differently we offer the two blends so that in case of one not giving the desired effect the other may be more beneficial. This is determined by each individual's body chemistry.

However, Flu Time and Sacred Immune Strength are safer for kids under the age of 6, unlike Immune Strength which is not recommended for kids under 10 due to the Eucalyptus.

Is it ok to take flu time orally? Such as a drop under the tounge?
R W on Dec 15, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Good question! Essential oils are very potent and can be dangerous if not used correctly.

All of our oils are 100% pure, natural, and authentic. They are of the quality to be taken internally. However, we cannot provide dosing suggestions or directions on how to ingest if you choose to do so.

If you do choose to ingest the oils, we suggest consulting an Aromatherapist or trusted health professional for guidance. Follow the link below for help finding an aromatherapist.
