Almost any EO will help so you don't need to run out and buy something if you don't feel well enough to go out.
When we were seeing an.anthroposophical pediatrician, he recommended lavender for all viruses. I find lavender to be the most versatile oil and I try never to be without it. Thieves blend (there are several variations, doesn't have to be the official ThievesŪ brand) is also very versatile and can be used for viruses.

I agree. I view EOs as
medicine. I don't use them internally or topically unless I see a definite need. I'm much looser with diffusing because we have a ridiculously big house and great room and I honestly can't always even smell then when I diffuse. But I don't even diffuse that much because I just forget to. I do use them on my face mixed with squalene but they're diluted.
