Essential Oils Synergy Roll-On
Portable, Convenient to Use & Pre-Diluted
Fighting the war against germs? When you have a strong immune system, you are less likely to get ill or if you do get caught off guard, your body will be able to defend itself easier, cutting short recovery time. Essential oils for immune support is a tried-and-tested application in holistic medicines. In fact, these days, immune supportive essential oils are considered essential on daily basis as a great first line of defense for the prevention (as well as a remedy) of illnesses.
Strong Defense Roll-On consists of essential oils with varying degrees of antibacterial, antiviral, and other germicidal properties to fend off that run-down feeling, keep the illnesses away and fortify your immunity to help you recover faster when exposed to cold and flu. Due to the lipophilic (fat-loving) nature of these oils, they essentially get absorbed through our skin and make their way throughout our body, and work their magic.
Aromatherapy for Immune Boosting: How it works?
Essential oils for supporting and boosting our immune system are used for 3 purposes:
- To directly attack and eradicate harmful microorganisms in the body by virtue of their antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties. These essential oils are capable of ‘inactivating’ viruses in one of two ways: (a) inhibiting their ability to replicate [1,2] and/or (b) inhibiting their ability to fuse to cell walls and infect host cells [3]. In fact, whole natural essential oils are found to be 10-times more effective in inactivating viruses than isolated components from these oils.
- To directly stimulate the organs of the immune system to (a) speed up the production of antibodies to fight against this infection and (b) encourage lymph to flush out toxins.
- To alleviate the stress and regulate hormones responsible for normal functioning, mental health, and emotional balance.
Key Ingredients:
As there is no single essential oil that is most effective against all viruses or bacteria, we blend several oils with highly active antiviral, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties to harness the synergies and interplay between the components of these oils to provide us with an effective ‘broad-spectrum’ formula.
- Lemon: Stimulates white blood cells to defend against infection and helps detoxify through the blood and liver.
- Rosemary: Displays significant synergistic antimicrobial effect against a range of microorganisms, especially when used with clove oil.
- Ravensara: It is called the ‘oils that heal’ for good reasons – strongly antiviral and excellent for combating flu and any sorts of viral infections (shingles, cold sores, herpes, etc). It also stimulates drainage of toxins and is used as an antiseptic and expectorant in folk medicine.
- Tea Tree: Tea Tree Oil’s sudorific properties may help to strengthen and stimulate the immune system to increase its ability to fight off infection. It does this by promoting perspiration to eliminate internal bodily toxins.
- Clove: Not leaving out a powerful antioxidant oil with the highest antioxidant capability (ORAC value), its key role in disease prevention is highly valued in this blend. During the Renaissance, Clove oil had been used to prevent the spread of epidemics and plague, thanks to its strong anti-microbial actions.
Direction: Apply to wrists, back of the neck, or soles of the feet. Massage the meridians along the spine on your back when fighting the flu/cold.
Protect the body from the onset of cold and flu at the first sign of symptoms may cut sickness off before it starts. Once the infection sets in, the system becomes more complex. That said, for individuals suffering from autoimmune conditions (which are quite different from acute illnesses), essential oils may affect you differently and too much immune ‘boosting’ might not necessarily be a good thing. So, the best way to find out if it works for you is by trial and error.
Detoxing is a lifestyle. To improve immune competence, most of them are simply to: eat well, sleep well, exercise more, and stress less.
