Enjoy this Immune Support Guide!

OnGuard Blend:
Help protect your air

doTERRA OnGuard essential oil blend is a fantastic place to begin protecting your immune system naturally. I like to diffuse OnGuard into my air so that I breathe it in.

An essential oil diffuser is a device you plug in, fill with water and a few drops of essential oil, and allow it to diffuse essential oil particles into your air. I like to keep a diffuser in my bedroom and another in my main/work space.

OnGuard is a blend designed with immune support in mind: It is made with Clove, Wild Orange, Cinnamon bark, Rosemary and Eucalyptus essential oils. It smells like fall spice!

Interesting fact: Clove essential oil has a higher antioxidant content than Blueberries OR pomegranates! This blend is created to keep you and your family healthy. Add 3-5 drops in your diffuser each day, especially when threats are high.

OnGuard Softgels:
Support from within

doTERRA OnGuard Softgels combine the proprietary blend of doTERRA On Guard Protective Blend with Black Pepper, Oregano, and Melissa essential oils for additional immune support.

doTERRA On Guard+ Softgels are a great way to strengthen and maintain healthy immune function when seasonal threats are high. Encapsulated in vegetarian softgels, this distinctive blend contains essential oils known for their positive effects on the immune system and their ability to protect against environmental threats.

I take 2-3 daily when threats to my immune system are high! I highly recommend packing these every time you travel. I like to take 2-3 the morning before a flight and 2-3 after my flight lands. Even for road travel, packing OnGuard Softgels is a good idea because you’re sitting in stagnant air.

OnGuard Soap & Hand Sanitizing spray:
Help protect your hands

OnGuard protective blend comes in many forms! doTERRA carries Onguard foaming hand soap, which smells beautiful and can help eliminate toxins from our hands and our homes.

I love this soap and I especially love knowing that I’m not washing my hands with harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances!

If you’re wondering if your soap is nontoxic, turn it over and look at the list of ingredients. One thing I look for is synthetic fragrance. If you find the word “fragrance” in the ingredients, it is a result of a loophole that allows synthetic chemicals into products and I would not recommend using. OnGuard is created from pure essential oils and natural ingredients! I love nontoxic home substitutions.

PLUS I also like using OnGuard hand Sanitizing spray. It’s small and compact so I throw it in my purse for spraying my hands on the go.

OnGuard throat drops:
If you’re feeling under the weather

doTERRA On Guard Protecting Throat Drops are a convenient way to receive the immune-supporting benefits of doTERRA OnGuard essential oil blend in an all-natural throat drop.

Sweet and a little spicy, these feel wonderful on the throat and they are easy to throw into your bag.

doTERRA On Guard Protecting Throat Drops provide the immune-supporting benefits of the doTERRA On Guard proprietary essential oil blend in the convenience of an all-natural throat drop.

Blended in a base of organic cane juice and brown rice syrup, they include Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Myrrh essential oils.

Suck on one of these drops whenever you feel like you might be coming down with something or you’ve been exposed to a bug.

LLV: Take a high-quality multivitamin
for a foundation of good health

The Lifelong Vitality Pack vitamins, or “LLV” as we call them in doTERRA, are a trio of daily multivitamins designed to create a foundation of gut healing, immune support, and to fight inflammation. If you’d like more information on these, please watch this video by Dr. Josie Schmidt and reach out to me if you’d like to get started.

The LLV is the baseline of health and can help you manage inflammation and other issues in your body. Your doTERRA Wellness Advocate may have recommended the LLV if you have the following:

Mental fogginess
Mood swings and a struggle for better mental balance
Ongoing body pains and aches
Inflammation
Erratic nutrition

Steam with oils
for sinus support

I love sinus steaming! It’s super simple and it’s a great way to loosen congestion and support the body’s natural immune responses!

All you need is a pot of boiling water, a towel, and doTERRA oils (I love Oregano, Lemon, Tea Tree and Peppermint!) You can use a bowl or even a mug for easy steaming! It feels great and helps loosen sinus congestion.
