Powerful Immune System Support With Essential Oils
Whether it’s cold and flu season, you have a compromised immune system or sick people around you, essential oils are an easy way to help support your immune system to keep it strong and you healthy.
One of my favorite essential oil blends is the protective blend, also known as doTERRA On Guard. This is a tasty blend that also smells sooo good. It has the following oils in it: wild orange peel, clove bud, cinnamon leaf/bark, eucalyptus leaf and rosemary leaf/flowers.
When we lived in Portland I used this every night between fall and spring as a preventative (basically when it was raining). I’d use it topically and put one drop on the bottom of each foot before going to bed. It’s quick and easy especially when you keep the bottle on your nightstand.
When I feel like I might be getting a little rundown or actually sick, I’ll take it internally which could be two drops under my tongue (it’s a bit zingy, so this isn’t for everyone), in an empty capsules OR taking On Guard Plus softgels which is a combination of the protective blend along with some other heavy hitting essential oils (black pepper seed, oregano oil and melissa leaf). Living in Indonesia, we don’t use these products as much because it’s always warm here and we don’t have to contend with the cold and rainy winters in Portland.
If you or someone in your house is sick one the best things to do is to diffuse the protective blend. This can help to stop the spread of germs in the air. Ideally helping to keep the healthy people in the house healthy while supporting the sick person to get better!
If you are congested, either in your sinuses or lungs, you can steam the oil and breathe deeply to get it in your system. I generally boil some water in a pan. You can let it cool down a bit so the water is still warm/steaming but not crazy hot. Put 3-5 drops in the water and put a towel over your head to capture all of the steam and oil deliciousness. I do recommend keeping your eyes closed anytime you steam oils because they are so strong. Breath deeply for as long as you can or until the steam fades.
Of course there are other oils that you can use to help boost your immune system. Just a few examples are: frankincense, copaiba and oregano.
As I mentioned previously, this is one of my favorites but it’s not just me. This blend is SO good that doTERRA has made many products using this blend. There is laundry detergent, a concentrated cleaner, foaming hand wash, a hand sanitizer, cough drops (Maya ate the entire bag when we first got them because they are so good), toothpaste (both kids and dentists love it) and recently we’ve added mouthwash to this powerful product line.
