Integrating essential oils:
You likely know by now that I only recommend doTERRA.
To date, this is the decision I am most proud of myself for making for our home …
At first is was because their quality is unmatched, but then the sustainable sourcing and integrity of the company became quickly apparent and important to me.
The beautiful element of using doTERRA is that as we use these pure bottles of oil for our own healing, we circulate money directly back to the growers around the world that.
My girls have grown up health + strong, through the integration of these essential oils, clean water + a solid 80% of their food being whole.

Prepare some DIY protective creations for extra protection:
➕ Hand Sanitizer: in a 30 ml bottle, add 4 tsp rubbing alcohol, 1 tsp fractionated coconut oil and 20 - 30 drops doTERRA OnGuard. Spray on hands when you don’t have access to soap + water. Rub hands together for 20 seconds. The CDC recommends that at least a 60% volume of alcohol be in the formulation. This DIY has 66%. I’ve also included an image below for how to make this DIY sanitizer using your empty 15ml essential oil bottles. You’ll need to purchase this spray head to pop on top. Alternative: OnGuard Sanitizer.
➕ Foaming Hand Soap: to a foaming soap container, add 2 tbsps unscented liquid castile soap, 1 tbsp fractionated coconut oil, 10 drops each Peppermint + OnGuard. Keep at all bathroom sinks and you can fill a little travel pump for hand-washing while you’re out. Alternative: OnGuard Foaming Soap
➕ Immune support roller bottle: to a 10ml roller, add 10 drops OnGuard, 10 drops Oregano and 10 drops Frankincense and fill remainder with fractionated coconut oil. Roll + Massage into neck + chest morning and night if you’re going to be out or if you feel run down. Alternative: OnGuard Rollerbottle
➕ Immune support all purpose cleaner: to a 16oz glass spray bottle (or add a spray top to an empty sparkling water bottle): add 2 tbsp OnGuard Cleaning Concentrate + 10 drops OnGuard + 10 drops Peppermint and top up with water. If you don’t have OnGuard Concentrate, sub with 1/4c rubbing alcohol or 1c vinegar and top up with water + oils.
➕ Immune Power Pill: to an empty veggie capsule, add 2 drops each: Frankincense, Lemon (or Copaiba), OnGuard, Oregano and Tea Tree. Take once a day when feeling run down. Take morning + night when your body needs extra healing support.

DAILY PROTECTIVE ROUTINE:
If you’ve done my LifeScrub mini series, I talked about this during the Home Scrub Session …
that I one of the best things you can do for your immune system, is to create health + happiness within your home.
Increase the peace in your home:
Diffuse pure essential oils to create the feeling you want: This is one of the simplest ways to promote peace in your home while also reducing your toxic load via typical fragrance. I have all my fave blends in this free diffuser guide for you.
Music: It goes with essential oils like PB + J. I have lots of playlists over on Spotify or you can play them directly here.
Bath Ritual: after a long day turn off all of your electronic devices, light some candles, and take a long how epsom salt bath with lavender or your fave essential oils. Use coconut oil as a moisturizer after the bath, then go right to bed with your journal or a good book. More lovely bath tips here.
Soup: Fixes all the things. Here’s a great soup for the winter soul recipe … another comforting go to is this One Pot Whole Chicken + Veggies recipe. (save the bones to make Bone Broth after in your Instant Pot). If you’d like to integrate more health in your kitchen in a simple way, check out my Healthy Kitchen Blueprint
