2 Tips for Winter Wellness

1. Catch it early and hit it hard!

Remember: essential oils are very concentrated.  A little goes a long way!  A good rule of thumb is to use less oil, more often.  Frequent use is key when supporting the immune system!

2. Keep your natural arsenal stocked.

Build your essential oil stash (and other natural remedies) now, and be prepared when the need arises.

5 Ways to Maintain Winter Wellness

When seasonal or environmental threats loom large, I use a variety of essential oils and application methods to keep everyone healthy at my house.

1. Diffuse any of the oils listed above, in living spaces during the day and in bedrooms overnight.
2. Apply oils to the spine and/or soles of the feet several times per day.
3. Dilute and apply oils to the chest and neck to promote healthy respiration.
4. Add 1-3 drops of immune supportive oils to a beverage: water bottle, hot tea, etc.  But not in a plastic container!  Be sure to use glass, ceramic, or stainless steel.
5. Take a few drops of these oils in a capsule.  Use doTERRA’s OnGuard+ Softgels or use empty veggie capsules to make your own.
