hello welcome back Regal Smith here and today I'm going to teach you how to use my top 10 favorite essential oils to support a healthy immune system now I don't know about you but this season I have noticed so many people coming down with the crud people staying home from school and work and just really more crud than I've seen in previous seasons and so far so good in our home so we do a lot of the healthy lifestyle things I teach you on this YouTube channel and in addition I'm going to teach you how to use these 10 oils in your home so number one the first one I would recommend is on guard essential oil now if you're familiar with Doterra you already know about this oil it is the immune supporting blend the protective blend it smells lovely it has wild orange clove cinnamon eucalyptus and a little bit of Rosemary this is one that you can diffuse into the air every day so it's very easy to put three to five drops or however many you like into your essential oil diffuser it'll diffuse into the air get into everybody's system and help to purify the air you could do this every day we certainly do especially during the fall and winter months another way you can use the on guard is putting a few drops right on the bottoms of the feet my daughter knows before she goes to school this is part of the routine just put a couple drops on the bottoms of the feet before she runs out the door you can also apply this oil along the spine it does a really nice job of helping to support health healthy immune system when applied to the spine actually all the oils do because if you think about the spinal cord and all the intricate systems that run up and down the spinal cord and the skin is absorbing everything we put onto it it's really a great place to put your essential oils now on guard branches out into a lot of other on guard products so we talked about the oils but you could also use the on guard concentrated cleaner to clean your home so toxin-free cleaning you could use the on guard sanitizing Mist the hand Mist they have beadlets which are like little tiny balls with one quarter drop of oil that you can just pop as needed keep them in your pocket purse or backpack this can be taken internally you can and put a drop in water and shoot it whenever you feel like you need a little extra support maybe your throat's not feeling a hundred percent and you can also my favorite is actually the on guard plus soft gels so it's on guard oil plus is why they call it plus some additional immune supporting oil so in addition to the on guard blend it also has in here oregano which we'll talk about in a moment black pepper and lemon balm which is also known as Melissa and Melissa is incredible for the immune system we'll also talk about that in a moment but you can get it all in one capsule so you can make your own so if you're feeling like you're not feeling your best you know your lymph nodes are carrying something you can start to take these I like to take two or three a day for maybe a week seven to ten days if I feel like I need an extra immune boost so maybe one in the morning one in the evening and take it for a week or up to 10 days or so the on guard plus is effective yet mild enough you could take it all season so maybe you're a teacher or when I worked in the hospitals I definitely took it every day to support my healthy immune system so that's another option on guard chewable tablets it has zinc in it and some vitamin D vitamin C in addition to the on guard oil so a lot of variety but if you're are just brand new to the oils you need to keep it simple just diffuse it put it on the bottoms of your feet and if you feel like you're coming down with something take it little doses frequently throughout the day that's how the oils work best one or two drops a few times a day so little doses more frequently oil number two is stronger this is the protective blend specifically designed for kids you can absolutely use on guard on your children I use it on mine the stronger is from the kids line and you'll see it's packaged all in kind of the White Cap those are heavily diluted great for kids my kiddo has personally had her own kids line collection in her room since she's I'd say four or five I think they came out when she was on the old side of four and she's been using oil since she was born so she we know just in our house what oils are and how to use them and this is a really mild version of the on guard it has different oils that are great for the littlest ones she also uses this on her spine bottoms of the feet it's in her room sometimes she just goes and puts it on she likes the smell of it and it also has in here fractionated coconut oil is what it's diluted in Cedarwood litzia frankincense and Rose and it's just a much milder smelling oil it's it's actually really lovely and sometimes she likes to put it on to smell good but she's also helping to support a healthy immune system so stronger from the kids line is another option oil number three is breathe this is also an extremely common one in the Doterra world it is to support a healthy respiratory system so if you're wanting to open up your Airways put some breathe in your diffuser sometimes at night we like to diffuse breathe in lavender so it helps to open the Airways but also has the lavender calming effect in our home too you can put this on your chest it comes in a rub so if you prefer like the old school rub you can use the Breathe Vapor Stick and rub that on children you can rub it on their feet the bottoms of their feet put some nice socks on and help to support your Healthy respiratory system that way number four oregano oregano I would say combined with on guard these are probably the two most important for a healthy immune system the oregano I tell people you don't need it very often but when you need it you don't want to have to wait to order it this is something I recommend every bathroom cabinet have in case you need it because when you need it you need it fast and the oregano is something that you can take short term usually seven to ten days um one to three times a day for intense immune system support you can make your own capsules so you can get empty vegetable capsules from doTERRA or from the health food store and basically make your own little oil vitamin so you can put a couple drops on guard a couple drops of oregano a couple drops of frankincense and take that for that seven to ten day period I'll also have on my blog on these top 10 oils a little recipe called the flute bomb f-l-o-o-t and that's a great one to take when you're really coming down with the funk it has frankincense lemon oregano on guard and tea tree so that is one that you'll see floating around and I'll have that recipe for you if you're not familiar with it as well or if you don't like to make capsules you can do the on guard Plus instead but just use what you want number five we have oh one more thing about oregano another recipe I'll have on there is called the steam cup or sinus bomb you'll hear a different a few different ways one of my favorite ways to use oregano is in that steam cup and you take a hot cup of water you put one drop each of oregano peppermint lemon and tea tree and then you breathe it in it's very very strong so as an adult start with it I wouldn't recommend it for little children it's very strong but as an adult you can kind of just breathe in that Aroma it'll start to open up your nasal passage you're going to have snot running down your mouth and face like it really clears you out but if you're really stuffy you know that that's the relief you're looking for and then with those oils they'll also help to clear out what's causing that and then also the oils like the um lemon are going to help to break up the mucus so that's called the steam cup it works really well and if you wear contact lenses like me take them out that's my best tip is uh take those out before you do the steam cup oil number five is thyme thyme has a lot of similar properties to oregano but I think of it more for specifically for the gut and then also you'll see a lot of creams if you have persistent dry skin or redness you'll see a lot of recipes that have thyme oil they'll usually have thyme geranium frankincense sometimes tea tree and lavender it's really good at getting rid of um that dry skin and those redness that persist in certain conditions so this one smells like a pizzeria it has a very strong smell oregano and Thyme are oils that I don't like to diffuse I also don't really like to put them on my body often because I don't like the smell they're they're very very potent so for me these are things that I personally prefer to take internally a great product that has the time already internally in it for you is the GX assist this is what I take oh my gosh if I'm traveling and you know you ate something that maybe was old food or contaminated water or maybe in a foreign country that you're not used to and you cannot stop releasing what's coming out of your body this is what I take for seven to ten days one to three times a day it's the GX assist now this has a Powerhouse of oils for your immune system that are also going to clear out your gut we have oregano tea tree lemon peppermint lemongrass and Thyme it also has caprylic acid in it which helps to penetrate treat the fat cells a little bit so it helps this oil combination work even deeper in the cells so this is another way to use your thyme oil and then thyme is one that also works really well for the lungs so even though it's not my favorite smelling oil personally sometimes we just need it and in our house we combine the breathe and the time and the diffuser to really clear out something that's stagnant and it's not leaving with other methods or dilute it heavily because it's a spicy oil just like oregano oregano and Thyme or hot oil so you want to use a little extra coconut oil so sometimes we'll use a very generous squirt of coconut oil time and breathe and apply that to the chest you could even do a warm a wet warm compress which is going to drive those oils deeper it's going to leave a little bit of redness on the skin as it drives those oils so use with discretion or use extra coconut oil as needed so not my favorite smell but awesome at what it does number six tea tree so tea tree has also been called Melaleuca in Doterra it is officially called tea tree now it used to be called Melaleuca in some areas of the world and tea tree and others and doTERRA just made it into one name across all International markets it's tea tree there's also another company called Melaleuca and that was kind of confusing too but tea tree is great also for the immune system it's in the flute bomb which we talked about earlier that capsule you can make it's also what I think of for tea tree it's good for the the skin immune system so you can put it on funky feet if you pick up something from walking around a dirty gym shower floor it also um oh man these oils are making my nose run pardon me don't tell my daughter I just used her blanket to wipe my nose tea tree is also great for skin irritations foot funk uh it's a really smell a fresh smell very clean it's also good for candida so overgrowth of candida bacteria in our body that's why it's in the GX assist this combination is also great for that and then for ear health so if your little one ever wakes up with that significant discomfort in their ear and they're tugging and you know they're really uncomfortable you can actually use one drop of tea tree oil and one drop of lavender you can add a little bit of coconut oil and rub it around the ear now one precaution we never stick essential oils in our ear canal that's not good so you don't put them in your ear canal your eyeballs up your nose but around the ear works really really well you can also put a drop of the tea tree or the lavender on a cotton ball and then put the cotton ball in the ear right there that works really well too that has worked for us every single time since she has been born and a lot of the moms I recommend it to so there is just definitely a place for modern medicine we love our doctors we love our medical staff but sometimes in the middle of the night if there's something you can do at home that works and if it doesn't work then you go see the doc then that's a nice empowering thing that as a mother I love to have in our home so that's a great use for your tea tree plus lavender number seven Arborvitae Arborvitae is an oil that comes from a tree that's called the tree of life These are thousand-year-old cedar trees that grow in the Pacific Northwest once they have fallen and are dead Doterra then harvests the dead branches that don't Decay which is really interesting and they have found through their research it supports a healthy immune system it also is extremely effective against candida even more so than tea tree in the studies that they found it smells very very tree-esque almost like if you were smelling fresh wood in Home Depot it kind of Smells Like Home Depot a little bit in the wood section to me and this is one that is extremely effective yet mild anytime somebody doesn't feel well in our house we do an oil bath and the oils we use vary we always put Arborvitae in it I learned it one time I heard somebody recommend it I've been using it since it's just our go-to it seems to really help to bring the body temperature down it helps to kind of keep everybody calm and then also helps to support that immune system so we usually like to use arborvitaite and then we'll throw in some other oils like frankincense which is on our list coming up next maybe some geranium lavender a lot of the other oils I talked about previously aren't really great for the bath I wouldn't put oregano tea tree or on guard in a bath tea tree would be fine just not a great smell breathe would be okay but Arbor Vitae for us breathe if we're congested frankincense lavender kind of throw some of those in the tub number eight is going to be rose rose is one that you don't think of mostly for the immune system you hear a lot about for Hormone Health skin emotional Wellness but it actually is very powerful supporter of the immune system and I like to put it on my spine so I will use this in conjunction with on guard frankincense put this on my spine I love the way it smells so it's one of those that I use frequently it's also great for skin supporting the Skin's immune system I remember a story about a prominent person in Doterra that shared about her daughter who was on one of those jumpy castles and brought home a significant skin irritation that is really difficult to remedy and get rid of and she was able to use on guard plus capsules tea tree oil and rose oil and Rose is really interesting when you look up some of the benefits in the Modern Essentials book it can do a wide variety of things so I call this the queen of essential oils you may have heard of Frankincense referred to as the king of essential oils you may have heard when in doubt use frankincense as the king I would say Rose is probably the queen and they partner really really well together and a bonus it's one of my favorite smelling oils love love it it's also in the stronger blend I think that's one of the reasons my daughter likes it so much it is in the stronger blend number nine frankincense the king of essential oils this is when in doubt use frankincense it enhances the effect of all other essential oils it also supports homeostasis which is just balanced within the internal body it also is very grounding supportive to the immune system it is one that always is a wonderful one to layer upon the spine the bottoms of the feet under the tongue under the tongue daily with frankincense is really a great Wellness practice to be proactive with your health um it is one like I said when in doubt pull out your frankincense I remember being on a vacation with my family and we were on a cruise ship and we did the Excursion when we landed on the cruise on this island where there was a language barrier um and they said hey do you guys want to come on the Excursion and ride horses and we did and there were no rules it felt like the Wild Wild West and one of the gals got thrown off her horse and she was injured very badly so we're in the middle of this jungle and there isn't a lot of access to medicine that we needed right then we needed emergency modern medicine and we didn't have a lot of communication there was kind of a language barrier so we were a bunch of oil users what we did have until we get medical attention that we needed is we had oils we had frankincense so we were able to put frankincense on her spine on her feet we were able to stabilize her we did have some first aid skills some people that were more versed in first aid than maybe your your average person that were with us on the Excursion and then eventually get her to the medical attention she needed she was airlifted to a larger Island and got the help she needed and did make a full recovery but the frankincense you know when in doubt use it it can help to balance a lot of things in the body so if I'm ever waiting for the ambulance to show up I want to make sure that somebody's putting frankincense on my feet in the meantime until I get the medical attention that I need and finally number 10 is Melissa oil Melissa is a form of lemon balm and it is one of the rarer and more expensive oils that Doterra has that has to do with the way it's harvested how much plant material is required to make a pure Melissa oil it is not diluted in any way it smells very bright very fresh it's an oil that because it's rarer and more expensive a lot of people either don't know how to use it or they they're not sure if they want to invest into it it's one of the oils that when all the others aren't really working and they can't figure out how to kick whatever's going on it's a great one to try put it on your spine in particular is one of the ways I have found it works really well you can put it under the tongue and then one of the most popular most effective ways to use it is if you get those little skin eruptions that are around your lips perhaps you can put this directly on them a few times a day and it will help to actually um get rid of those and sometimes decrease the frequency which they show up which is really a nice benefit so lots of cool things about what Melissa can do and a great one to have in your stash maybe save up your lrp points and redeem it for one of your free oils and just have it as needed so those are my top ten it's different for everybody but these are the ones that I like to use in addition to the oils make sure that you're implementing the healthy lifestyle things I'm teaching you here take your lifelong Vitality supplements the children's supplements drink lots of water I know you hear that but the water really does make a difference get sleep and come back here for more Wellness tips I will have this all written up for you in a blog
