Immune Boosting Diffuser Blends for Fall & Winter

Can These Diffuser Blends Keep Your Family Healthy this Season?

My 10 year old daughter loves essential oils as much as I do. And lately she’s enjoyed creating diffuser blend recipes for our home. Here are the ones that I’ve shared so far:

While we still have the back to school ones going in our house, she has come up with the following recipes for fall and winter.

What I love about these is that she’s used specific essential oils that are perfect for making sure everyone in your home boosts their immune system, and stays healthy this cold/flu season. And they smell great too!

Here are some of the health benefits of each of the essential oils she has used:

Bergamot – prevent and fights infections, it can also relieve the stress and anxiety of the holiday season.
Black pepper – protects the body from damages done by oxidants (free radicals) and also helps to repair those damages that have already been done.
Cassia – an antimicrobial and antiviral agent that protects you from viral diseases, such as the flu, cough, and common cold.
Cinnamon bark – loaded with antioxidants, which help protect your body from free radicals. Also fight helps fight infections and repair tissue damage.
Frankincense – an antiseptic and disinfectant agent that has antimicrobial effects.
Ginger – helps treat nausea, fight fungal infections, and may inhibit cancer growth.
Lavender – treats anxiety and fungal infections.
Peppermint – relieves indigestion, and provides relief from cold and congestion. Peppermint is also great if you have a headache or sore muscles.
OnGuard – has positive effects on the immune system and can help protect against adverse environmental and seasonal issues.
Rosemary – has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic, antispasmodic, diuretic, expectorant, hepatoprotective, and carminative properties.
Wintergreen – fights inflammation, also has the ability to act like a natural analgesic (pain reducer), antiarthritic, antiseptic and astringent.
Whisper – has calming and hydrating properties, and provides a great aroma.

My advice for essential oils is always to verify that they are 100% pure oils. doTERRA oils are carefully and thoroughly tested using the strict CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade^® quality protocol.
