On Guard and It's Fight Against Illness

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
I have been using my some of my essential oils now for a few weeks.  I am really enjoying the purity of these oils.  I am amazed with how they smell and how effective they can be.  My favorite one right now is the On Guard.  On Guard is a blend of several essential oils.  This unique blend has since been studied and found to be a great support on the immune system.
On Guard isn't designed to destroy all germs, unlike antibiotics which kill good and bad bacteria. On Guard is designed to inhibit the growth of germs.  Taking this oil blend at the onset of sickness, it will slow down or stop the sickness from growing.  Your body will now be able to fight it off and you should recover much quicker.  On Guard is also a great blend to protect your body ahead of time as it will fight off germs before they have a chance to even infect you.  The combination of these oils also have a high anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-septic properties.
