Does going outside during cold and flu season ever feel like playing a game of Russian roulette? You just never know what kind of germs you’re going to run into! Things like washing your hands, eating a balanced diet, and getting your flu shot do wonders to shore up your internal defenses (AKA your immune system). But I always add one more line of defense - my Defend Blend Ready-to-Apply Roll-On! “I’m a cashier in a very busy store and come in contact with all sorts of people. I roll it on my wrists at the beginning of my shift and then again 4 hours later. It has helped so much to keep me from getting so many colds. I swear by this product!” – Debbie Defend is based on the centuries-old Thieves essential oil blend. Some historians believe it originated in the early 1400s in France during the bubonic plague outbreak. Legend has it that a group of four thieves avoided the deadly effects of the plague by applying the blend all over their bodies. I’m fairly certain that story has never been substantiated, and I would absolutely never recommend walking into a room full of bubonic plague victims with nothing but essential oils for protection. But many of the oils in Defend (like peppermint and eucalyptus) are known to have antiviral properties, making it a useful addition to your immunity support toolkit! “This is my go-to product when I feel like I’m getting a sore throat. Before I go to bed, I roll it on my neck and behind my ears. The next morning, no more sore throat. It works for me. I never want to be without!!” – Barb Why You’ll Love It Powerful Immune Support: Keep those seasonal threats at bay naturally! Defend combines centuries-old wisdom with modern science, featuring oils like peppermint and eucalyptus with documented antiviral properties. Many customers report fewer sick days even during peak cold and flu seasons. Always Ready When You Need It: The convenient 10ml roll-on fits easily in your purse, nightstand, or travel bag. Pre-diluted and ready to go—just roll on and let the oils do the work. No mixing, no measuring, no mess. “I use the Defend roll-on when I travel, especially on airplanes. I love the scent. I roll it on the palm of my hands and breathe it in. I feel that it keeps me healthy when in enclosed spaces.” – Carolyn B. Versatility That Saves You Money: One bottle, countless uses! Add to your diffuser for whole-room protection, create DIY hand soaps, make natural cleaning sprays, or use in warm compresses for sinus relief. Each application gives you the confidence to make healthier choices for your family. Peace of Mind During Uncertain Times: There's something deeply reassuring about having a natural protective tool in your wellness arsenal. When everyone around you seems to be catching something, Defend gives you a sense of agency and confidence in your family's health. "Man the battleships! Honestly, a few swipes on my wrists every day has kept me healthy. There were times when I'd get the beginnings of a sore throat. I used Defend, and the soreness went away." - Rebecca H.

Apply to your sinus area to help alleviate pain and open airways naturally. 5. Steam Treatment Ease congestion with a simple steam treatment.

The only blend in our shop that is safe for topical or aromatic use during pregnancy, when properly diluted, is Freshly Washed. Our single oils — lavender, lemon, and sweet orange — are also considered safe when properly diluted. All other blends contain oils that should be avoided while pregnant and breastfeeding. Even for oils that are generally considered safe, always consult your doctor before using essential oils during pregnancy, do not use them during your first trimester, and never ingest essential oils. If you choose to apply oils to your skin, dilute them properly with a carrier oil such as coconut, almond, or olive oil. A 1% dilution is recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding (about 2 drops of essential oil in a 10 ml roll-on bottle, filled the rest of the way with carrier oil).
