Lately, I’ve had quite a few individuals ask me, “How are you boosting your family’s immunity right now?” I thought this would be a great time to talk about keeping our immunity strong. Right now, that’s really my main focus.
Keeping our immunity strong
Throughout the week, my family follows a relatively proactive immunity boosting routine. I’ve broken them down into different categories for you:
Things we take daily:
- Our dose of LLV (Lifelong Vitality Vitamin pack)
- Terrazyme (3-5)
- DDR oil and/or softgels (1-2)
- OnGuard Beadlets (1)
- PB Assist for probiotics (1)
- Adaptiv Softgel (1) or Copaiba (1) (Note: 1-2 drops of Copaiba in juice for kids)
- Turmeric Duo Softgel (1)
- YarrowPom Complex (1)
Additional ways we’re using essential oils each day:
- Rolling Rose Touch on the outside of our throats morning & night
- Diffusing Serenity & Peace blend oils at night
- Diffusing OnGuard at least once a day, or Eucalyptus & Lemongrass if you want to switch it up
- Adding citrus oil to our water
- Soak body or at least feet in epsom salt with Petitgrain or Lavender or Marjoram or Eucalyptus
Other things we do as needed:
- Sucking on OnGuard throat drops when we need to leave the house for essentials
- Washing our hands with OnGuard often or using the OnGuard Hand Sanitizing Mist
- Cleaning with OnGuard Cleaner – wiping door knobs, light switches, etc
General steps we’re taking to stay healthy:
- Take extra Vitamin C
- Eat healthy: daily, we have 1 cup of fruits, 2 cups of vegetables daily and limit sugar (however, we aren’t avoiding it entirely as we have in the past)
- Make sure we are getting plenty of fluids, such as hot tea
- Get enough rest
Extra preventative measures, if needed
If we start having ANY sniffles or scratchy throats in addition to the above we:
- Immediately start making our diet super strict. Veggies, fruit, broth only – no dairy or sugar
- Take OnGuard Softgels instead of beadlets
- Double up on DDR Softgels
- Make a throat spray to use on inside back of throat. I would add 5 drops of OnGuard to water or vodka & spray on back of throat often.
- Use Thyme – put it on feet, dilute & put on chest, diffuse it.
- Use Breathe Blend – diffuse it, often.
- Put Melaleuca & Lavender behind ears, dilute with fractionated coconut oil. Optional: Apply heat.
- Layer frankincense, Lemon, On Guard Blend, Oregano and Tea Tree (Melaleuca) on feet 2x a day & take one capsules of one drop each of these.
- Rest and stay in bed
- Reduce stress however possible, such as by using Adaptiv products.
Bonus tip for continued health
Continue using Thyme essential oil for an additional 5 days after you are feeling better.
