10 Ways to Use Essential Oils for Cleaning

What is On Guard Concentrate?

On Guard is a proprietary essential oil blend with Wild Orange Peel, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Leaf, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Leaf, and Rosemary-Leaf/Flower essential oils. Basically, it smells like fall in a bottle!

This blend protects against environmental and seasonal threats (hello upcoming flu season). It supports healthy immune and respiratory function when used internally and is a powerful surface cleaner. When diffused, it helps purify the air and can be very energizing and uplifting.

I have an air diffuser at my desk at work. It doesn’t shoot out vapor like a typical diffuser, it’s just a small fan that filters the oil smell through the air. Whenever people come in sneezing or talking about how they were up all night with their sick, throwing up child, I turn this on and get out the hand sanitizer. There’s an On Guard hand sanitizer too! (Just one more way to stop throwing chemicals on your body.)

I believe this has truly strengthened my immune system, I haven’t had the flu or any other virus-like sickness in years! I don’t live in a bubble either. This is even after being at work, and making at least 4 plane trips a year to see my boyfriend in Missouri. Do it for you. Do it for your kids. You really don’t have anything to lose!
