Stay On Guard this cold and flu season

The kids are back in school, the air is getting crisp and everyone is running to get flu shots, but what if there was more you could do to protect yourself from the sniffles, fevers, sore throats and sick days? There is!

I love doTERRA's On Guard. This combination of Wild Orange, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary essential oils smells amazing and contains super germ killing powers.

The Modern Essential's book has this to say about On Guard's proprietary blend.  ”The oils in this blend have been studied for their strong abilities to kill harmful bacteria, mold, and viruses.”

Here is what the company itself has to say  ”On Guard is dōTERRA’s unique, proprietary blend formulated to support healthy immune function. On Guard, with its unique aroma, is one of doTERRA’s most versatile blends. It is also safe to use on counter tops, as a non-toxic way to cleanse surfaces, or to clear the atmosphere by diffusing. On Guard is superb for eliminating and controlling pathogens due to the potency of its constituents.” - doTERRA
