In winter, favor essential oils rich in terpenes, oxides, phenols and terpenols with purifying, anti-microbial and stimulating actions of natural defenses.

The terpenes have a decongestant action on the airways and balsamic expectorant.

The oxides (in particular 1.8-cineole) are expectorants, mucolytics, bronchopulmonary decongestants, anti-bacterial and immunomodulants.

The phenols and terpenols have powerful anti-infective properties. While acting on germs, they also help eliminate toxins. Phenols are also heating for the body which is particularly appreciable during the cold season.

The three biochemical families are also part of the tonic and general stimulating components that help fight against winter fatigue.
