Essential Oil Immunity Recipe

I love fall, and I love winter. But what I don’t love about it is all the illnesses that seem to circulate this time of year. They can really suck the joy right out of the holidays.

It seems like someone in my family gets sick every year during cold-and-flu season. Eventually, it is passed on to every single person in the house.

But this year, I’m determined to keep my family and me healthy through the cold and flu season!

We’ve been taking our probiotics, diffusing essential oils, and doing many other things, which you can read about here.

I recently made an immune-boosting essential oil roller bottle that we’ve also been using daily.

If you are unfamiliar with essential oils or don’t know what a roller bottle is, you can keep reading to learn more about both!

What Are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are the vital fluids of plants, shrubs, roots, herbs, flowers, seeds, and trees. They are highly concentrated forms of the natural oils found in plants.

The oil within a plant functions as its immune system. It helps protect the plant against predators and disease and aids in plant pollination.

The oil is essential to the life and health of the plant. You can learn more about essential oils in my ultimate beginner’s guide to essential oils.

Roller Bottle Blends

Roller bottle blends are a convenient and easy way to use essential oils. You add whatever essential oils you like and a carrier oil to your roller bottle, and you have a diluted blend that is ready to use.

How Do Essential Oils Support The Immune System?

Essential oils help to “boost” the immune system by fighting infections alongside it and supporting it.

Almost all essential oils are antiseptic to some degree. But some can also inhibit viruses, fungi, or bacteria—or all three!

It is also believed that some essential oils can actually stimulate an immune response.

Unfortunately, few studies have examined essential oils and the immune system; consequently, most available information is anecdotal.

Additionally, the few studies on essential oils and the immune system have been conducted in rats rather than humans.

A 2011 study conducted on rats using clove essential oil showed that it enhanced the immune response, as indicated by increased levels of antibodies and other proteins.

Other studies have shown potential immune-boosting effects associated with some essential oils, but insufficient research has been conducted to establish this conclusively.

Far more research has been done on essential oils and their antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. When I say an essential oil is immune-boosting, this is what I mean.

Immune Boosting Essential Oils

Several essential oils are great for immune support. Tea tree, ginger, and oregano are just a few that come to mind. You can read this post—immune-boosting essential oils—to discover more immune-boosting essential oils.

I’ve chosen the most potent and effective immune-boosting essential oils for this recipe.

Immune Boosting Roller Bottle Supplies & Ingredients

A few things you will need for this recipe besides the essential oils are listed below.

• Carrier oil (I use fractionated coconut oil, but you can use whichever carrier oil you like. Almond and jojoba oil both work well.)
• Glass roller bottles 10ml (I buy mine on Amazon!)
• Label (You can print one below for free!)

What is the Best Essential Oil to Boost the Immune System?

As I mentioned earlier, several essential oils are very powerful at strengthening the immune system. The oils I have chosen for this blend are what I personally believe are the strongest and best essential oils to boost the immune system.

The essential oils needed for this recipe, along with a little info about each, are listed below.

Rosemary | Rosemary essential oil contains substances that help stimulate the immune system. It also has a high level of antioxidants and antifungal and antibacterial properties.

A 2007 study found that rosemary and clove essential oils exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against all microorganisms tested.

Frankincense | Frankincense essential oil is great for your skin and emotional support. It can also boost and support your immune system. Frankincense has antibacterial properties as well.

Oregano | Oregano oil is a very potent oil! Some of its properties include antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiseptic.

Lemon | Lemon essential oil has many detoxifying properties and strong antibacterial properties. A 2008 study found that lemon essential oil inhibited the growth of certain bacterial strains.

DIY Wellness Blend | I like to add several drops of this custom DIY wellness blend. You can click here to get the recipe. It is similar to Young Living’s Thieves blend or DoTerra’s On Guard blend.

It contains a powerful combination of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary essential oils.

If you don’t want to make this wellness blend, you can use Plant Therapy’s Germ Fighter blend instead. It’s a great, affordable alternative.

Where Should I Buy Essential Oils?

As essential oils have become increasingly popular over the years, they’ve become more accessible. But do not be deceived; not all essential oils are created equal. 

Many oils being sold today are synthetic. Your body treats synthetic oils as toxins, which does not help it and actually works against it. So please do your research before purchasing essential oils.

You can read this post—how to choose an essential oil brand—to figure out which essential oil brand is best for you.

You can also check out this post—fake essential oil brands you should avoid—to discover essential oil brands to stay far away from and learn how to spot fake essential oils.

Many essential oil companies sell high-quality oils. I used to use Young Living oils exclusively, but I couldn’t afford them anymore.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover several brands selling affordable, high-quality essential oils.

High-quality essential oils don’t have to cost a lot. I use Florihana, Plant Therapy, and Simply Earth essential oils. They are all amazing and very affordable.
