Essential Oils & Immune Supports

Hey guys!!!!  This week I want to focus on our immune system.  With the rise in COVID and a heavier than normal cold and flu season this is the topic we need right now!!


When we talk about the immune system, we are actually talking about a complicated network of organs and cells. Several organs and cells make up the immune system, including your lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, lymphocytes (white blood cells known as B- and T-cells), the thymus, and leukocytes (another type of white blood cell). Each piece works together to defend and protect the body.

The Immune Support Kit
To keep each element of your immune system on track, doTERRA offers an Immune Support Kit.  Along with the probiotic supplement PB Assist®+, this kit includes all of the most popular doTERRA essential oils known to help protect your body from environmental and other threats.

Powdered Cleanser Recipe

Hey Y’all!!!  This past weekend I was prepping for some cleaning and decided I wanted to try out a new type of cleaner….a Powder Cleanser.  Deep cleaning doesn't have to mean hours of scrubbing on your hands and knees.

  • ½ cup citric acid
