Now that we have talked about all the single oils in the top ten oils with doTERRA, lets take a look at the blends. This oil that we are starting with is one you are going to want to have on hand at all times in your home as the kids are going back to school and cold and flu season is starting up. On Guard is such an amazing blend. Smells great, tastes great, and works AMAZING.
With a blend of wild orange, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, and rosemary, this oil blend has a spicy and woodsy smelling aroma. On Guard is a great oil to use aromatically, topically, as well as internally to help support a healthy immune system function and also to promote an energizing and uplifting environment.
This is one of the oils that I keep with me at ALL times. I usually have this one diffusing in the house to help keep the air pure as well as energize the environment. Every morning I put a drop of this on the bottoms of my feet to help support my immune system. If I feel a cold coming on or a lot of people around me at work or home are sick I will even take 1-2 drops of On Guard in a glass of water to help ward off any germs and help boost my immune system. This is also one of my favourite oils to mix into multi-surface cleaners, as it is antibacterial and anti-fungal and smells great!
As always lets check out doTERRAs educational video for On Guard!
So many great uses for this oil. Some of my favourite ways to use this oil I have listed below. Since this is the oil of the week, there will be a couple more spotlight posts about it with some recipes as well.
- Mix with water into a spray bottle for a great multi-surface cleaner.
- Add two to three drops in a veggie capsule for an immune boost.*
- Mix with fractionated coconut oil for a natural hand sanitizer that smells great!
- Put 1-2 drops into oatmeal or soak sliced apples in water and a few drops for a healthy, immune-boosting snack that tastes great!*
- Diffuse for an uplifting and energizing aroma.
- Mix into laundry soap for a great smell and antibacterial wash (or just buy the pre-made soap!)
- Add two to three drops in a veggie capsule to support healthy cardiovascular function and circulation.*
doTERRA has a whole product line of On Guard products from toothpaste to laundry soap to hand soap and throat drops. All of these products are AMAZING and work great! I will be honest that I was a bit skeptical of the toothpaste at first but I completely love it and would never switch back to another one now, not only are my teeth whiter, but I also feel better about knowing that it is all natural and helping to support my immune system.
