You can diffuse this at the office or home during the flu season. Plants are powerful. They are our allies. When used correctly, we can benefit from unlocking their power in our daily lives. Each plant has a unique and medicinal property on its own. Furthermore, once combined with other plants, they can be extremely potent. 

Combined synergetically, they can be useful in disinfecting bacteria and viruses in our environment. In simple words- plant sanitizer in action!
