Immunity Support

The further I dive into using my 11 oils I discovering new ways I can benefit from them. This one had me in amazement really, I will use this every time when seasons change or the weather goes out of whack which is does a lot living in Vermont. We deal a whole lot of sickness during the winter, fall and Spring. Long story short, my colds last about 2 weeks or more, and get pretty severe. I decided to try to use my diffuser to fight back and boost my immunity. I had my cold for a week and it was gone! I did one drop Peppermint, 1 drop lemon, 1 drop thieves, 1 drop r.c. and 1 purification. I diffused this mixture for 30 minutes 1-2 times a day. And rubbed 3 drops thieves and 2 drops lemon mixed with coconut oil on the bottom of my feet at night. There are many variations to find what ratios work personally for you but this worked for myself.  Below is some information on the oils I used!
