My Favorites: Immunity

By Ashley Miers

When it comes to keeping healthy, a little immune support never hurts! I love using essential oils such as doTERRA’s On Guard both internally when I feel a bug coming on, and also as a hand sanitizer and non-toxic cleaner for surfaces. In both cases, a drop or two of the oil can be mixed with water (either to be ingested or to be used as a spray on hands/surfaces).

On Guard is a blend of several powerful oils including Wild Orange Peel, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Leaf, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Leaf, and Rosemary. It has a warm, spicy, woody aroma that is a little reminiscent of autumn.

For those of us who appreciate scientific verification of efficacy, I’m pleased to report that - while not comprehensive in scale - there have been studies that have indicated that On Guard essential oil attenuates influenza virus infection. It mitigated the virus by limiting the expression of viral proteins.
