​🛡️ Immune Support


No, essential oils won’t give you a new immune system. But they’ll help you take care of the one you’ve got.

💬 Why This MattersYour immune system is working full-time — filtering out pathogens, handling stress, regulating inflammation, and repairing your body… all without a lunch break.

Most people only think about immunity when they’re already sick — but daily habits are what make the real difference. Essential oils are one of the simplest tools I’ve used to support my immune system consistently, and they’ve become part of how I stay well.

Let’s break it down: what works, what’s hype, and what science actually says.

🌿 How Essential Oils Can Support Immune FunctionEssential oils can:
  • Boost immune response at the cellular level
  • Help the body manage inflammation
  • Support respiratory function
  • Cleanse surfaces and the air
  • Promote overall resilience and recovery
They’re not a cure — but they’re great allies.

💡 Daily Ways to Use Oils for Immune Support
  • Diffuse On Guard (or lemon + eucalyptus) in the morning or when people are sniffling
  • Apply diluted oils (On Guard, oregano, frankincense) to the soles of the feet or spine daily
  • Make a throat spray or gargle with lemon, tea tree, and water
  • Take internal capsules of DDR Prime or Frankincense (only with CPTG oils like dōTERRA)
  • Add a drop of lemon or ginger to warm water in the morning (again, CPTG only!)
  • Clean with oils — ditch the toxic sprays and wipe down surfaces with lemon, clove, and tea tree
