Germ fighting blends to protect your family this flu season, thieves oil, on guard, germ fighter

These blends of oils are based on the story of a band of thieves that rubbed themselves with herbs and oils to protect them from the plague as they robbed the dying and dead.  When arrested they were offered a lighter sentence by the king in exchange for the recipe that kept them from getting the plague.  

In 1997 a study found the ingredients in these blends to be 99.96% effective at killing airborne bacteria.  

These blends can be used to keep your home germ free and smelling great this flu season. For personal, home, and office uses. This oil can prevent illness as well as speed up healing when you do find yourself under the weather.  It can also be used to heal cuts, bruises, and even help with joints.  Use to treat toothaches mixed with coconut oil or spray down counters and bathrooms to kill bacteria.

Do you use essential oils?

We have been using essential oils for five years now. I am a believer and I know we will be using them for life. When I forget to use them and we do get sick we always bounce back fast.

Once the neighbor’s child caught strep throat and so kindly shared her germs with us when her mom needed an emergency babysitter. As soon as sore throats started I rubbed our favorite germ-killing oil right onto throats.

Cold and flu season is coming. Protect your family with these thieves oil blends

That was as bad as any of us had gotten.  In less than three whole days the entire family was symptom-free. The girl went on to nearly three weeks of antibiotics. And was still sick.

Eventually, her mom broke down and agreed to try some of the oils I had offered. She bounced back quickly. We will forever trust our favorite thieves’ oil blends to keep us healthy.

    That’s so interesting! I hadn’t heard the story about the thieves but I remember the recent study about the antibacterial properties of these plants. Thank you for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty! Looking forward to seeing you back next week.

    I have been using DoTerra for years and I recently changed to a company called http://www.betteressentials.com as my mom has been using them for quite some time. I am really liking their oils and blends. Their Best Friend blend is just like On-Guard except it has lemon oil and not orange. Is there a difference, because the price of Better Essentials is much more affordable???

      The Lemon is actually more studied than orange for its antimicrobial properties. Due to an allergy to orange I only use versions with Lemon myself.

    OK, first things first, I LOVE the story of the thieves rubbing this on to prevent getting illnesses while grave robbing. That tale is AWESOME!

    My wife and I use oils all the time, and we’re always looking for new/better ideas.

    I could definitely use these. It seems like once school starts we always get some sort of bug going on in our house.

    I know cold and flu season is here because my son came home telling me only 10 kids were in his class today (and one of them went home mid-day). I am hoping we all stay healthy here!
