Oils To Support Kids' Immunity

Oils To Support Kids Immunity

Question: What oil would you suggest for supporting kids immunity?

When I first started using Young Living essential oils about 2-3 years ago, my standard answer was Thieves! Yup, that has always prove to be effective for my boy. I see more instances where my kid is still going on strong when his peers are down with common flu, cough, fever etc.

I would apply Thieves essential oil on the soles of his feet twice a day. In the morning before he goes to school and at night, before bedtime. Thieves oil is Hot! So please don't apply on your child's body without heavy dilution.

Then one day, Thieves oil went Out of Stock at Young Living Singapore Office for a while and I didn't have any at home! My bad! I didn't plan ahead. I usually do not keep any spare bottles at home, preferring to order immediately when the oils are reaching bottom. They are not cheap for a SAHM you know.

Panic mode. What to do? I was lucky to be in a private chat group with a group of mummies who were using YL EOs for their kids and family. Many had shared that there are actually other oils which supports immunity. I want to share a few personal favourites with all of you.

• Thieves - Yes, that's my first love. I started with Thieves, RC and Peppermint as recommended by my friend. My oil collection only keep increasing since then. :)  Thieves is a blend highly antiviral essential oils like Clove, Lemon and Eucalyptus Radiata.
• Lemon & Thieves - For an added boost, I like to layer Lemon oil with Thieves on feet. Especially in the morning before school. Lemon is an immune stimulant and helps to improve memory. Plus, it smells great!
• ImmuPower - If Thieves is out of stock or you really can't bear the smell of Thieves, this is the one to go for. But bear in mind that YL EOs is not about smelling great. If that is important to you, best to turn to the perfume/fragrance industry. Some of the EOs found in ImmuPower are Ravintsara, Frankincense, Clove and Oregano which will strengthen immunity and DNA repair in cells.
• Basil - This is really a much cheaper but equally effective alternative. That is you dun mind smelling like spaghetti. The smell will dissipate after a while. Personally, I love the smell of Basil and I also have a few pots of Basil plants at home. Basil is antiviral and anti-inflammatory and the fragrance can help to fight mental fatigue.

I am sure there are other essential oils which will support immunity. I'm still exploring myself. Do take time to invest in a good book like the Essential Oils Desk Reference which will list out the uses and properties of all the Young Living Essential Oils. Share with me as you embark on your own oiling journey too!
