Learn about the best essential oils for healthy immune support and exactly how to use them. Get the best immune-boosting roller bottle recipe and cleansing diffuser blends.
Many essential oils can be used to boost the immune system and help us feel better when we aren’t feeling our best. I mixed a few of my favorites together to make an immune-boosting roller bottle.
I especially like having this one on hand during the cooler months anytime we go into crowded places. Make up several of these roller bottles to keep in the bathrooms, bedrooms, and one for the car.
You can use these same essential oils in this roller bottle to make a DIY hand sanitizing spray. I am all about prevention, can you tell?

TOPICALLY- Dilute in a carrier oil and apply to the bottom of feet, wrists, back of the neck, and down the spine. Add one drop to your hand and rub it together as a natural hand sanitizer.
AROMATICALLY- Add 4-6 drops to a diffuser and diffuse. Inhale straight from the bottle or add a couple of drops to your hands and inhale.
INTERNALLY- Add 1-2 drops to a veggie capsule and swallow like a pill. Add one drop under the tongue, hold for 30 seconds and swallow. Add a drop to 4 ounces of water.
FRANKINCENSE
Frankincense is known for its extensive health benefits and can support the body in so many ways. I love adding this one to all my blends because frankincense makes other oils work more effectively. For example, if I am using eucalyptus when congested, I will apply eucalyptus oil to my chest and then apply frankincense over the top. Learn more about frankincense.

INTERNALLY- Add 1-2 drops to a veggie capsule and swallow like a pill. If you are making it for later use, be sure to add a carrier oil.

Here is a link to where you can buy the oils you need: https://doterra.me/CF6IEshZ. I set it up to get wholesale pricing, if you prefer to buy retail you can edit that at checkout. Let me know if you have any questions!
I’ve been a fan of your sisters blog for quite awhile, and just recently strolled in over here to take a peek. I am SO impressed with you girls and am learning a lot ! 😊
I do have a question in regard to ingesting Tea Tree oil. I used to put it in a veggie cap. I later read several articles stating that it is considered poisonous to take internally and have since stopped. I see here you’ve included it as a possible ingredient in your veggie caps. I’m wondering if you might be willing to pass along any literature that helped you to decide?
Thanks so much for all of the hard work it takes to put out such a wonderful blog!
Thank you so much for following along with me and I am so glad you are enjoying my blog. When taking essential oils internally it is really important to check your sources and know you have pure essential oils. This is hard because essential oils are not regulated by the FDA. I have a post that may help you: https://www.ouroilyhouse.com/taking-essential-oils-internally/
Hey, just dropping in to say I really enjoy your blog. I just found it yesterday and I’ve perused many of your pages on here now and I love some of the ideas and recipes you’ve shared and the care you put into each one. Thank you for sharing this goodness. I can relate to many of the things you’ve made as I’ve done some diy things for my family as well. I’m getting deeper into the oils as time goes by and as my income allows it and I’m excited to try ingesting them for the immune benefits. Thanks so much
