Immune Boosting Oils
As you all know over the past year+ I have come to LOVE these amazing essential oils derived from nature. Essential oils are to plants as what blood is to an animal. They carry nutrients, oxygen and life giving energy to all areas of the plant, just as our blood does for us.With that said, it is no surprise that I go to essential oils to support my family’s immunity system. Essential oils have incredible healing properties that are powerful and beneficial. So with the winter months officially upon us there are bound to be a few viruses floating around.
