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. adding immune boosting essential oils to a diffuser

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?

BEST ESSENTIAL OILS FOR HEALTHY IMMUNE SUPPORT 

ON GUARDdoTERRA's on guard essential oil on white marble

This post may contain affiliate links, which means I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Get my full disclosure HERE.

On Guard is DoTERRA’s protective blend and it does just that! This oil is great at protecting you against environmental threats.  On guard is a blend of wild orange, clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary. Learn more about on guard HERE.

TOP BENEFITS

  • Boosting the immune system
  • Cleansing surfaces and air
  • Protects against environmental threats
  • Supports healthy respiratory function
  • Promotes healthy circulation

HOW TO USE IT 

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.

FRANKINCENSEfrankincense essential oil bottle

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.

TOP BENEFITS

  • Immune support
  • Healthy digestive function
  • Respiratory health
  • Promote healthy cellular support
  • Skin imperfections
  • Calming and relaxing
  • Promotes healthy night sleep
  • Relieves tension

HOW TO USE IT 

TOPICALLY- Apply to the bottom of feet, wrists, back of the neck, and down the spine for immune support. Apply to area of concern for all other aliments.  Frankincense can be applied neat or diluted.

AROMATICALLY-  Add 4-6 drops to a diffuser.  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, then swallow.  Add a drop to 4 ounces of water.

OREGANO

This powerful oil is full of antioxidants making it a good addition to this blend. Oregano is a hot oil and needs to be diluted before applying to the skin.

TOP BENEFITS

  • Protect against environmental threats
  • Healthy immune response
  • Cleansing
  • Healthy respiratory function
  • High in antioxidants
  • Supports the digestive system

HOW TO USE IT 

TOPICALLY- Always dilute oregano before applying it to the skin.  Apply to the area of concern.

AROMATICALLY-  You can most definitely diffuse oregano, but your house will smell like an Italian kitchen.  Not my favorite one to diffuse, but it does have many benefits when used aromatically.

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.

MELALEUCA

Also known as tea tree oil, melaleuca has immune-boosting, cleansing, and purifying properties.

TOP BENEFITS

  • Cleanse and purify skin
  • Boost the immune system
  • Overall wellness
  • Great for the digestive system
  • Promotes healthy respiratory health
  • Cleaning

HOW TO USE IT 

TOPICALLY- Apply to the bottom of feet, wrists, back of the neck, and down the spine for immune support. Apply to area of concern for all other ailments.

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.

CLEANING-  Add 15 drops of melaleuca and 1/4 cup vinegar to a 16-ounce glass spray bottle.  Fill the rest with water and use it as a natural all-purpose cleaner.  This works well for dishes too!

Always consult with your doctor before taking any oils internally. And always make sure the oils you are using are pure and safe for internal use.

    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
