IMMUNE SUPPORT ZOOM REPLAYS
Testimonies and ideas to come as we share in Dream Oilers Lifestyle.
Fall is almost here, so there’s no time like the present to start being proactive with our wellness. We’ll be having a month long class here in this group essentials to help you feel well all season long.
When you're ready to get started, reach out to the person who added you to this group so they can send you their referral link which will connect you to them and all of our Dream Oilers Resources!
In addition to the oils and products we’re going to be sharing about, there are also things you can do outside of oils and supplements. Here are a few ideas to help you get started.
Get a good night’s sleep. Sleep is so important for your body, as it helps your body to heal and function properly.
Stay hydrated. Drinking enough water daily is so important for your health. Try to drink your half body weight in ounces each day.
Move! Move your body for at least 30 minutes each day. This can include taking a walk, playing with your kids or grandkids, or working out.
Focus on nutrition. What we put into our body matters. Do your best to eat foods packed with nutrients to help your body get all it needs to function properly.
One of the best things you can do to support your immune system is to ditch the harsh chemicals in your home.
Luckily, we have an entire Thieves line of products to help us! Thieves products are natural and plant based and work just as well (and sometimes better) than their toxic counterparts.
The best part about using Thieves in your home is not only are you getting rid of the bad, you’re also adding in the good - all Thieves products are infused with essential oils that support our bodies, making the switch so simple.
The easiest switch to make is Thieves Cleaner! Check out the graphics for some ideas for using it for pretty much anything you need to clean.
Let’s talk through daily supplements that can help you to feel better as well as ones you can take as needed when you’re needing an extra immune support boost. Young Living has an entire line of supplements for you to choose from - these are staples we use for immune support, but we take more depending on what our bodies are needing daily.
NingXia Red
We drink this daily, and it is my easy button for wellness as a mom! The boys and I are obsessed with this because it tastes so darn good, and it supports our bodies.
• packed with powerful antioxidants and superfoods like wolfberry, plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts
• contains a blend of premium essential oils, including Orange, Yuzu, Lemon, and Tangerine
• ingredients combine to help prevent oxidative stress, support normal cellular function, and promote healthy energy levels
Life 9
If you're not taking a probiotic, you want to be! So much of your wellness comes from your gut, and this is the best probiotic you're going to find!
• highly potent probiotic that supports healthy immune function, helps maintain optimal metabolism, and promotes normal intestinal function
• includes 17 billion live cultures from nine beneficial bacteria strains to support your gut
Super C
Vitamin C is so important for feeling well. The essential oils in Super C allow our body to absorb more of the vitamins than is typically absorbed.
• contains 1,440 percent of the recommended dietary intake of vitamin C per serving
• fortified with rutin, citrus bioflavonoids, and minerals to balance electrolytes and enhance the effectiveness and absorption of vitamin C
• supports normal immune, respiratory, and circulatory function
• strengthens connective tissue and promotes overall health, vitality, and longevity
Super Vitamin D
This is one of YL's newest supplements, and we love it! Vitamin D is another essential vitamin to immune support, and as an added bonus, it tastes delicious!
• plays a key function in respiratory health and supports the body’s respiratory immune system through its innate, adaptive defense mechanisms
• helps boost healthy immune systems and supports mood and hormone regulation with vitamin D and lemon balm
• helps support bone growth and healthy muscle
• supports calcium balance and bone growth
Inner Defense
This is our secret weapon when we're feeling under the weather. Take it in the morning and/or afternoon, and make sure to take Life 9 at night!
• offers immune support, reinforces systemic defenses, promotes healthy respiratory function
• creates unfriendly terrain for yeast and fungus
ImmuPro
If you're struggling to sleep because you're not feeling well, ImmuPro is your solution. It supports your sleep with melatonin as well as your immune system.
• delivers powerful antioxidants and helps reduce the damaging effects of oxidative stress from free radicals
• provides exceptional immune system support and encourages restful sleep by promoting the body's natural sleep rhythm

NingXia Red
We talked about the benefits of this antioxidant powerhouse in the last post, but it’s worth mentioning that it’s delicious! If you want to make it a special treat for your kids, you can add one of the pouches to the freezer, and they can drink it like a slushie!
Mighty Pro (prebiotic & probiotic)
This is made for kids, but it's also great for adults! When I can't take Life 9 (like on trips), I'll bring extra packets of this for me too!
• supports gastrointestinal, immune, digestive, and general health in children (and adults!)
• promotes healthy bacteria in the gut, successfully colonizes the GI tract, and helps maintain a healthy digestive system
• may help with occasional bouts of constipation, digestive discomfort, and diarrhea, gas, and bloating
MightVites (kids multivitamin)
This is not your typical children's vitamin! It is all natural, tastes delicious, and has all sorts of benefits, which you can see below:
• provides a premium, synergistic complex to support your child’s body including premium vitamins, minerals, and food-based nutrients to support general health and well-being
• specifically designed for children using nutrient-dense, food-based superfruits, plants, and vegetables to deliver a full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients
• offers a daily whole-food multinutrient formulated with wolfberry powder that contains no preservatives or synthetic flavors or colors
• Fortified with Orgen-FA, an ingredient included in Orgen-Kid, which is the best source for naturally derived folate available. Orgen-FA is 100 percent USDA Certified Organic and does not contain synthetic folic acid or additives. It is extracted using hot water and is no different than the folic acid produced when boiling broccoli
Turmeric has long been touted for its amazing health benefits, and we finally have it as a part of our Young Living lineup. I love getting to swap out things I used to get elsewhere and being able to add them to my YL Subscribe to Save order to get 25% back!
The Golden Turmeric is delicious and has a unique water-dispersible formula that makes it 24 times more bioavailable than standard turmeric products, meaning your body absorbs more of it so you can enjoy the full benefits! It also includes prebiotics, which are great for gut health.
If you have inflammation, are wanting to support your joints, and/or want to boost your immune system, this is a must have supplement. Mix ½ a teaspoon in 6-8 ounces of water, juice, or milk, and enjoy daily!
I was nervous the first time I tried it because I am super picky, but I was happily surprised that it was delicious!
I’m sure it’s no surprise that Thieves is at the top of our list of immune supporting oils. This oil is actually one of the top reasons that people get started with Young Living because it is so good at supporting overall wellness (that's one of the reasons I got started)!
Thieves not only provides immune support, it’s also cleansing to the digestive system and has antioxidant properties. As an added bonus, it smells like Christmas and is amazing to diffuse! We love putting this in our diffuser every single day.
Tea Tree helps neutralize unwanted odors and clear the air. If you diffuse it, pair it with a strong oil like Thieves and a citrus oil like Orange. It can also help reduce the appearance of blemishes and be used as a natural deodorant.
Frankincense is another oil that supports a healthy immune system. It’s a very gentle oil, so it’s a top choice for many parents with young children too! Diffuse it, apply it on the spine or chest, or add it to a cup of tea. I love to diffuse it with Thieves at the first sign something's "off".
ImmuPower - the name says it all! It’s a combination of powerful essential oils, including Hyssop, Mountain Savory, Cistus, Camphor, Frankincense, Oregano, Clove, Cumin, and Dorado Azul. This is like Thieves’ big brother!
Purification - another one where the name says it all! It’s a combination of Citronella, Lavandin, Lemongrass, Rosemary Oil, Myrtle, and Tea Tree and cleanses the air, freshening musty areas that need it most. It’s also a great oil to add to your dryer balls to replace dryer sheets!
R.C. provides a refreshing breathing experience, supporting normal, clear breathing. Diffuse it with Thieves during fall and winter or add it to the bottom of your shower in the morning. R.C. is a blend, and one of our must haves!
Lemon is such a bright, refreshing oil! It contains antioxidants, supports the immune and circulatory systems, and contains cleansing properties. Add a drop or two of Lemon Vitality (same exact oil as the colorful label) to your water, diffuse it, or apply topically to enjoy its benefits. Remember that citrus oils can cause photosensitivity, so you want to apply them to areas that won’t be in the sun.

Young Living has an entire line of supplements for you to choose from - these are the staples we use for immune support, but we take more depending on what our bodies are needing daily.
Exodus II is a blend of oils that combine to make a powerhouse oil for immune support! It's another one of Thieves' big brothers! Egyptian Gold is another blend that supports a healthy immune system, keeping us feeling our best. Many people swear by the nose swipe recipe below while traveling and during the fall/winter months to keep them well.
Longevity Vitality is a blend of the following oils with awesome benefits:
• Thyme contains the antioxidant thymol and provides support to the immune system
• Orange has a bright, uplifting aroma that provides immune and digestive support and cleanses and refreshes the air
• Clove essential oil has a warm, stimulating aroma that provides cleansing properties and contains antioxidants for immune support
• Frankincense has been used in religious rituals for over 3,000 years and has been known to enhance immunological function
Mountain Savory Vitality contains antioxidants and may provide immune support and cleansing properties, making it a top pick for wellness.
Oregano Vitality supports overall wellness and a healthy immune system, has digestive-cleansing properties, and includes antioxidants. As an added bonus, it also helps get rid of warts (we used it with Tea Tree oil)
These next two are must haves for every household during cold season!
Thieves Chest Rub
I remember my mom grabbing a blue tub when I was younger and slathering it on my chest and feet whenever I had a cough... little did we know how cruddy the ingredients were! Thieves Chest Rub is like the all natural version of that, but with a hands-free application for less mess!
temporarily relieves cough, congestion, stuffiness, minor throat irritations, and aches, while aromatic vapors soothe nasal passages
formulated without petroleum, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, synthetic perfumes or dyes, artificial colors, preservatives, and toxic ingredients
maximum-strength, plant-derived, and fast-acting medicine helps support healthy breathing
Thieves Cough Drops
My younger son is OBSESSED with these! He asks for them all the time because he loves how they taste - seriously, you would think they're candy by how he begs for them. And I'm totally ok with it because they're natural and support his immune system!
• over-the-counter strength relieves cough and congestion with plant-based ingredients
• naturally soothes sore throats
• sugar-free formula tastes sweet and minty and is free of processed sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, and preservatives because they can actually make you more sick
• infused with Young Living's signature Thieves premium essential oil blend
This collection is designed to help support the body inside and out, and when you use all of the oils in this kit, you are supporting all of the systems in your body! That means that if you use one of them each day of the week, you’ll be taking care of every part of your body over the course of just seven days! How cool is that?
JuvaFlex helps with liver and lymphatic detoxification. Any of the oils that include “juva” in them support healthy liver function. Add it to a capsule or roll it over your liver.
EndoFlex is one of the best oils to use to support your endocrine system! It helps to support healthy hormonal balance and is one many women swear by for keeping their thyroid, adrenals, and hormones regulated. Roll it over your thyroid each morning or add to your morning smoothie.
R.C. provides a refreshing breathing experience, supporting normal, clear breathing. Diffuse it with Thieves during fall and winter or add it to the bottom of your shower in the morning.
DiGize is a blend that is good for supporting healthy digestion and easing digestive discomfort and should be a part of every oilers’ wellness arsenal. We add it to a roller with Peppermint to keep our tummies happy.
Thieves is our immune support hero! Diffuse it, apply it, and/or add it to tea.
Raven is a blend that includes camphor (ravintsara), lemon, wintergreen, peppermint, and eucalyptus radiata, which fight against respiratory issues.
Melrose is powerful when diffused to dispel odors, purify the air, and protect against daily radiation bombardment. It's also great for any skin concerns you may have.
The Raindrop Technique is a unique practice based on methods that have been used for centuries to rejuvenate the body and mind. It helps bring balance and harmony to the body by combining targeted massage and distinctive energy approaches. It also includes pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils to create an atmosphere of spirituality and serenity.
The collection includes Thyme, Basil, Peppermint, Oregano, Wintergreen, Cypress, Marjoram, Valor, Aroma Siez, Ortho Ease Massage Oil, and V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex. It also comes with a brochure that teaches you how to perform the Raindrop Technique.
I've been lucky enough to get a couple of Raindrop Technique Massages, and there are no words to describe how relaxed they make you feel!
