Keep the Flu AWAY From Your Home With On Guard

Achoo!

The flu season is in full swing and those nasty symptoms can knock you out for at least a week. According to the Centers For Disease Control, 41 states are currently reporting widespread levels of flu activity. Click here to see the Weekly Influenza Surveillance Report and what areas of the country are experiencing the flu.

Fact: Adults with no symptoms may be able to infect others with the flu 1 full day before sniffles start.

But I have good news! You can combat those nasty viruses and bacterial infections while simultaneously building up your immune system with essential oils.

Here’s a Little Science Lesson.

The cells in your body are surrounded by an oily membrane. Bacteria are found on the outside of these cell walls and Viruses are on the inside of the cells. Regular antibiotics are unable to penetrate the cell wall and so they only work on bacterial infections, not on viruses. Besides, antibiotics tend to cause unpleasant side effects. Over-the-counter medications only mask symptoms.

Certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils can penetrate the cell wall. Therefore essential oils are effective against both bacteria AND viruses. Best of all, essential oils will not cause yucky side effects and your body will never become immune to them! That’s a win-win in my book.

Using On Guard to Fight the Flu…

dōTERRA’s On Guard essential oil blend was especially formulated to fight off the dreaded cough, sniffles, achiness, fever, congestion and sore throats common during the winter months. Additionally, On Guard is effective in killing MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus auereus).

MRSA is a powerful superbug that is resistant to all current drugs. Read this about the effectiveness of using On Guard to combat the flu virus. On Guard is a blend of Wild Orange, Clove Bud, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary essential oils that when combined, are effective against kill virus and bacterial bugs as well as building up your immunity system.

Steps for a Flu-Free Winter:

If you follow these easy steps below, you will be setting the stage now for a cold or flu-free winter.

1. Prepare your body – Rub 1 drop on the soles of both feet every morning to build up immunity. Safe for children as well as adults. Eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly and get a good night’s sleep.
2. Beware of sneaky germs – Flu germs can travel up to 6 feet in the air and are able to live on hard surfaces for 2-8 hours. Disinfect those frequently touched surfaces with a mixture of 50 drops On Guard and 30oz of distilled water in a spray bottle. To keep the air germ-free, put 2-3 drops in a diffuser.
3. Be cautious of your surroundings – Wash your hands regularly with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose with your hands. Use a knuckle to push an elevator button or other public surface.

Since using On Guard faithfully on the soles of my feet for over 17 months, I have not contracted the cold, flu or any other illness. I challenge you to safeguard yourself and your family with this powerful blend of essential oils.

Remember, only use certified pure therapeutic grade oils. On Guard and other dōTERRA essential oils may be purchased here. And as always, more exciting information and ways to use essential oils can be found on my blog at On A Wing And A Prayer .

Stay warm, safe and healthy!
