Cool compresses made with Marjoram oil can help relieve headaches.
Add two
drops of oil to a large bowl of cool water and mix it up well.
Dip a cotton
cloth in the mixture, wring it out and apply it to your
forehead.
Place
another cool compress on the back of your neck to enhance
the
effect.
Caution
Since marjoram oil may stimulate contractions
and promote blood flow,
it should never be used during pregnancy. Also, the
oil can
sometimes dull the senses, so it should be used only for
short
periods of time. Always dilute the oil well before applying it
to
the skin, since it may cause irritation in susceptible
individuals.

For colds, flu or other viral infections, take a warm shower and
follow it
with a gentle whole-body lemon-oil treatment before going
to bed. Combine one
cup of sunflower oil and 20 - 30 drops of lemon
oil and rub this mixture
evenly over your skin. Wrap yourself up
well in towels or blankets and go to
bed. During the night the oil
will be absorbed by the skin's pores and will
deploy its antiseptic
properties.
