Top Essential Oils for Supporting Your Immune System
Don't you hate it when you can feel something coming on, & there's nothing you can do about it? That's one of the things that excited me most when I first started using essential oils ... we got some control back. Sure, we still get sick sometimes - but when we do, many times we can nip it in the bud before it gets bad. Other times we're just able to be much more comfortable as the bug works its way through our system.
You know how when you go to the doctor & they tell you it's a virus, and there's really nothing they can give you? Antibiotics only work on bacteria - they don't work on a virus. One really cool thing about essential oils is they can pass through the cell membrane. This means they can go where antibiotics can't. And since viruses replicate inside the cell, getting past that cell membrane is what makes essential oils so supportive.
I love when my husband (who is a Pediatric Gastroenterologist) comes and asks for our OnGuard, our diffuser, the Breathe oil, the DigestZen ... all of these tools. He has other mediation options at his fingertips, but there are side effects to all medications. He doesn't even take Ibuprofen or Tylenol unless he absolutely has to. He takes care of many kids in the hospital that are having liver transplants & all kinds of stomach problems due to those medications.
When we have the ability to use something that doesn't have all those side effects, & that works quickly, that is super exciting!
Here are some favorite ways your family can support their immune system.

Top 10 Oils for Immune Support
Frankincense, Lemon, OnGuard, Oregano, & Tea Tree
These oils are magic together. In fact, we make a very popular immune blend using exactly these oils. You can remember which oils are in it using the acronym “F.L.O.O.T.” - Just combine 20 drops of each in a 10mL roller bottle. Then top it off with fractionated coconut oil. Shake before each use. Apply to the bottoms of the feet 3x daily until well.
OnGuard+ Softgels
My college kids actually ask for these in their Christmas stockings. They never want to run out😂. These are our go-to's when someone in our family starts to feel like they're coming down with something. They don't just have the OnGuard blend in them … they also have Melissa oil (the highest antiviral found in nature), Black Pepper, and Oregano. These are some huge heavy-hitter immune support oils! Our standard protocol is to take 2 softgels, 3x/day for 2 days. Then we back it off to 1 softgel, 3x/day until well. These things are SO supportive...we love these!
DigestZen
Drink 1-3 drops in water, or rub over stomach to ease nausea & vomiting. This is also wonderful for supporting any other digestive discomfort, such as diarrhea, constipation, gas, or cramping.
Breathe (respiratory blend)
Diffuse 8-10 drops. Sit/sleep near the diffuser. Also rub 2 drops over chest as needed.
Stronger blend
Roll over chest and bottoms of the feet 3x daily. This is great used in combinations with the “FLOOT” blend above, as it has different oils.
Purify blend
This blend is a great one to have running in the diffuser with your OnGuard to help cleanse the air & keep things from spreading around to multiple members of the family. As it is inhaled, the alveoli in your lungs transport it to the bloodstream giving your immunity a huge boost. I would use 3 drops in a normal size room, 8-10 if it's a big open floor plan.
