Perhaps the most popular and well-known immune-boosting essential oil blend is Thieves. This unique blend was inspired by a legend of 15th-century French grave robbers who formulated a special blend of rosemary, clove, and other botanicals to ward off sickness.

I use an immune booster roller on myself and my family every night. I will include the recipe we use and love.

10 Drops Thieves, 10 Drops Purification, 10 Drops Frankincense. 3 Drops of Oregano (optional) top off roller bottle with fractionated coconut oil.  Use nightly on the soles of your feet and along your spine.

 

Myrrh has long been seen as a symbol of sharing during the holiday season. Since biblical times, this precious botanical has been sought after for its rich, earthy aroma and skin benefiting properties and at one point may have been even more valuable than gold. Myrrh essential oil comes from the resin of the Commiphora tree, common in the Middle East, and is often used during meditation to promote feelings of spirituality.

Some ways to use Myrrh essential oil:
• Fill your home with the essence of the
holidays by diffusing Myrrh with Frankincense
and Orange.
• Mix a few drops into your daily moisturizer to
help support the healthy appearance of skin.
• Add 3–5 drops to V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex
for a comforting massage.

INGREDIENTS
8 oz. filtered water
10 oz. bittersweet
(70%) chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon Yacon Syrup (optional)
3–4 drops Peppermint
Vitality™ essential oil
Ice and water for ice bath

INSTRUCTIONS
• Place enough water and ice into a large (preferably
stainless steel) mixing bowl to cover the bottom and

turn off heat, add the Yacon Syrup and chopped
chocolate, and whisk until melted and smooth. Add
Peppermint Vitality essential oil and whisk again.
• Pour the melted chocolate into the mixing bowl
sitting on top of the ice bath and whisk vigorously
until mixture becomes thick and ribbon-like. If you
over mix your mousse, it will become grainy. If this
happens, add more chopped chocolate to mixture,
melt over the heat, and whisk again until thick and
ribbon-like.
• Spoon mousse into serving cups to serve or cover and
refrigerate to firm.
