Build your immune system......

It is getting that time of year again......sick season!  Yuck!

I have a love/hate relationship with the cold weather season. 

Love the change to cooler weather and that means light sweaters and jackets where I live. But HATE what kinds of sickness the weather brings with it!

So with using doTERRA Essential oils, there is a solution to the problems!

Bring on the ON GUARD!  This is one bad boy of an Essential oil.  With a blend of Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary.  The oils in this blend have been studied for their strong abilities to kill harmful bacteria, mold and viruses.  This blend can be diffused into the air or used to clean and purify household surfaces.



This is one of the daily oils that gets rubbed onto the bottoms of my kids feet, both morning and night.  I also diffuse OnGuard in the air at least once a day.  If I know that a sickness is going around at school, I make sure that it is diffusing when they get home.  Also, I will dilute 1-2 drops in a quart size mason jar and add some to their glasses of water, so that they are getting it internally as well!

There is a story about a high school janitor who uses doTERRA essential oils and decided that he was sick of the smell in the hallways at the school.  So he thought what the heck, I am going to start diffusing some OnGuard to make it smell better and hopefully kill some of the bacteria in the air as well.

So he started doing this at night, while he was doing his nightly routine and the hallways were starting to smell better. 

 But something else was happening as well.  Down the hall in the Biology lab, the bacteria and stuff in their pee tree dishes were dying and the couldn't figure out why.  So they started thinking and tracked back to the janitor and found out that he had been diffusing the OnGuard!! 

WOW!  that is AMAZING!  It is powerful stuff.

So, I highly recommend you to start putting this on you, your kids, hubby and those around you to keep them from getting sick!!


Also, at Convention we found out that OnGuard can kill MRSA!!  So, start using OnGuard as a daily disinfectant in your home.  At 3-5 drops of OnGuard to a water bottle and spritz the areas clean!

My AWESOME hubby planned a weekend getaway for the 2 of us a couple weekends ago.  We were both soo excited to have a fun no kids weekend, to say the least it was WAAAY over due....like 2 years :) 

Anyways, the day came that we were to leave and I was packing all of our junk (cause I ALWAYS pack for like 5 days when I am only going to be gone 2!!) and my stomach started feeling a little queasy.  I thought to myself.....oh great, this is JUST what I need.  So, I kinda ignored it and hoped it would go away.  Well.....it didn't. 

Hubs came home from work and looked at me and instantly knew I didn't feel good.  I told him it was nothing just my stomach a little upset, we were STILL going :)  So, I went to the bathroom one last time before we headed out!  By the time we got to the gas station about 5 minutes away, I was feeling really yucky!  GREAT....I'm thinking.  I seriously don't want to be sick.  I didn't say anything to my husband while he pumped the gas, I didn't want to ruin anything.

So, I reach behind the seat and grab my oils!  Why hadn't I done this earlier....dummy :)  I didn't have all of my oils with me I had left most at home with my mom for my kids, just in case.

I did have ONGUARD, PEPPERMINT and FRANKINCENSE.  So I start rubbing my belly with all 3 of them then I grab my bottle of water and drop 3 drops of peppermint and start drinking it.  Hubby gets back in the car and can smell the oils and looks at me like uh oh!!  I told him I'm fine, lets get the heck out of town!

So, I continue to rub the 3 oils on my belly and drink my peppermint water.  Maybe 20 minutes later, my queasiness was completely GONE and I felt soo much better.  My stomach never hurt not even a little bit after that!

It is so nice to have something to turn to in moments like this! Otherwise, I don't know how much fun our trip would have been. 

Happy Oiling,

Katie
