With so many of my friends struggling with that respiratory illness right now, I thought to approach a very controversial subject… If you feel something coming on, or if you’re already ill…
- Don’t give up! Apply On Guard to bottoms of your feet, and where ever you feel discomfort. Gargle with it, make it into tea to drink, put it in your oats. 1-2 drops at a time, 3-4 times a day or when you need the comfort.
Why On Guard?
When Dr. Hill created Thieves, he used Lemon. After more research, he decided with On Guard to use Wild Orange instead of Lemon. Why? Wild Orange is higher in monoterpenes and d Limonene! While Lemon Essential Oil is good for supporting the respiratory system, Wild Orange has a wider range of benefits. It may also help support the proper function of the digestive, immune, and nervous systems along with the respiratory system. But there’s one more concern… I have friends who started using Thieves in 1996 and found it to be really effective for 3 or 4 years. Then, sadly, the smell changed so that clove was the strongest scent and cinnamon was WAY less. The effectiveness diminished as a result. They have found On Guard to be as effective as Thieves was originally. And yes, you can safely ingest On Guard because the species of Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Globulus that is used in On Guard is safe to ingest.
There are a few On Guard products that we never run out of… The hand wash, the hand sanitizer (which we also use as a throat spray) and the beadlets! We are forever grateful for the On Guard family of products!
