​doTERRA's On Guard is a blend of essential oils including: Wild Orange Peel, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Leaf, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Leaf, and Rosemary Leaf/Flower essential oils. This blend can be used internally, topically, and aromatically to help protect against environmental threats, especially around back to school.
​
Lemon​ essential oil is extremely versatile, from being an excellent natural cleaner to purifying the air when used aromatically, and can also help to detoxify the body when taken internally. 

Lemon can also be used in cooking to boost flavour and provide cleansing and digestive benefits that supports healthy respiratory function.

Yes! Lavender is my go-to essential oil. I have a diffuser bracelet that I put a drop on so I can smell it throughout the day. It's very calming.

I am an ardent lover of essentials oils too in daily life.... lemongrass, citronella as insect repellents or in room diffusers, rosemary for hair, lavender for stress relief, tea tree for anti-acne and sinus and rose essentials to set the mood

I was hesitant to try essential oils for the first time, as well. I had a few samples sent and started to use them in my own life and I was almost immediately intrigued. Now I feel like I learn something new everything day about their uses. Let me know if you want to try some!
