On Guard Protective Blend
Since cinnamon, citrus, and clove are main go-to potpourri scents in the winter, then On Guard is a dead ringer for the scent of the holiday season. But in this case, when you’re smelling On Guard, you’re actually smelling the real deal instead of the synthetic version that is supposed to smell like the real deal. Besides good smells, here are some of the other benefits of using On Guard blend.
AROMATIC USE
Diffuse it! Diffuse it! Diffuse it! But if you didn’t have a diffuser, you could make room spray or smell it from the bottle.
This is great to do anytime you want to cleanse the air.
Diffusing can help soothe airways that have been irritated by dry air.
Emotionally, this blend is uplifting, energizing, and stimulating. So it’s great for a pre-gathering cleaning session.
Since the oils are warming, it can create an inviting atmosphere in your home.
Sometimes I add an extra drop of cinnamon when I diffuse this one.
TOPICAL USE
Caution! This blend has cinnamon and clove. Both of those oils are warming, so be sure to dilute it well. Here are a few ways I use it topically.
I make a roller bottle and rub it on the bottom of my and my kids feet at least once a day to support our immune systems. This also supports oxygenation.
Anytime I’m feeling really tired, I’ll use that roller bottle on my feet.
This blend is included in many Symphony of the Cells protocols. This collection of protocols target the different body systems to provide support.
A great cold-weather roller bottle to have on hand is On Guard, tea tree, and lemon.
INTERNAL USE
NOTE ABOUT INTERNAL USE OF ESSENTIAL OILS: not all oils are of high enough quality & purity to use internally. doTerra stands by its oils and has researched to make sure internal use is safe with SOME of their oils. (I say SOME because you can’t eat wood no matter how pure it is.)
This is a hot oil, but some people (adults only) still enjoy it in their water.
On Guard is great to use internally when…
For a daily support for your immune system. There are several On Guard products that make this super simple.
When the air is dry, I add a few drops to gargle water to soothe my throat. Swallow the water down after gargling.
This is super yummy in recipes! Cranberry sauce, popcorn, chocolates. Your imagination is the only limit.
A tasty addition to the blend would be a few drops of lemon.
There’s more! Because it’s so awesome for cleaning, doTerra has made an entire cleaning line from the blend. Hand cleanser, (enzyme-based, eco-friendly) laundry detergent, cleaning concentrate, (flouride-free) toothpaste, and mouthwash. This makes it so simple to switch your most-used products to non-toxic options. See them all here.
