A Holistic Approach to the Corona Virus

In early December 2019 reports began to leak out of mainland China that a new version of an old virus was spreading rapidly with ground zero pinpointing the metropolis of Wuhan, a city of 11 million people. As with all viruses, this one rapidly spread to other countries in Asia before leapfrogging its way to the USA about 3 weeks ago. As of today only about 60 Americans have been afflicted with the disease but the number will most likely increase rapidly. Called the coronavirus because of a “halo” or ring around the virus resembling the sun’s corona, this particular strain has been given the moniker “COVID-19” (COVI for coronavirus, D for disease and 19 for the year it was identified). Like all viruses this one binds with a cell in the respiratory tract (nose/throat/lungs) by using surface proteins to unite with receptors similar to a lock and key mechanism. Through this method the virus gains entry to the cell and infects it.

This virus, like all others, needs a host to survive and replicate. Although COVID-19 can last up to 24 hours on an inanimate surface if it does not find a host it will die. Besides being picked up from surfaces the disease can also spread in airborne droplets. It is known that there are certain components of a variety of essential oils that have been shown to disrupt the viral life-cycle at different stages.

Natural Medicinal Products | Gifts of Nature Organics NJ

At Gifts of Nature Organics, we make and sell natural medicinal products in our NJ storefront and online to help you with a holistic approach to health and wellness. One of our most highly recommended is a cold and flu spray for adults, and a toxin free organic flu spray for children, both of which have seen remarkable success over the years.

Now, our hospital trained aromatherapist has formulated a stronger version to assist in the fight against the spread of COVID-19. Our winning track record with the natural cold and flu spray has allowed us to add more citrus essential oils (Lemon, Lemongrass and Tangerine) with just the right amount of Clovebud and Cinnamon. This formidable blend now provides a potent one-two punch in warding off this dangerous menace. Just spritz into your cupped hands and inhale. The essential oils will coat the respiratory tract providing a layer of natural organic toxin free protection. While not actually killing the virus our blend goes a long way as a preventative against this scourge. Dropped into handy 2 oz bottles it can be brought on to an airplane where it can be used every 2-3 hours.

Remember that hand washing is very important. Avoid touching the face, sneeze and cough into the crook of the elbow (Dracula’s cape) and use high quality, natural, and organic anti-viral products such as can be found in our online Medicinal Shop.

Combine our reformulated cold and flu spray with our diffuser version of the same and our cinnamon, honey and lemon blossom lip balm. All 3 are proven winners in the fight against evil viruses. By diffusing throughout your home, applying the all-natural lip balm, and spritzing the cold and flu spray you will do your best to stay safe until COVID-19 is under control.

As always, all of our cold & flu, skincare, body, and hair care products are all natural, organic, and toxin free!
