The annual flu season is upon us, and this year it will overlap with a global pandemic. It’s more important than ever in 2020 to ensure your family's immune systems are up to the task of keeping you healthy, and essential oils can help.
And whether you’re an experienced essential oil user or are wondering if they really work, continuing to learn about the benefits of essential oils is important to your wellness lifestyle.
Studies have shown the effectiveness of essential oils in both directly and indirectly strengthening immune systems. You can fight infectious diseases through holistic self-care!
How Essential Oils Assist the Immune System
Certain essentials oils have been scientifically proven to aid immunity through natural properties that are:
- Antibacterial
- Antiviral
- Antifungal
- Antiseptic
- Anti-inflammatory
And even oils that do not have these specific properties can help your body fight against diseases. For example, if you use an essential oil that promotes sound sleep (such as our organic lavender essential oil or our specially designed sleep blend Divine Dreams), your improved sleep can contribute to a stronger immune system.
Similarly, using an essential oil like rosemary can also help build up your immunity because it assists your focus and reduces your time in anxiety-mode! Your immune system depends on your holistic health––something essential oils do best!
