Immune Enhancer Blend Essential Oil
Immune Enhancer Essential Oil Blend
Newly revised (Dec. 2020), aromatherapeutic essential oils, custom blended by a Registered Nurse who is also an experienced Professionally Certified Clinical Aromatherapist.
This is one of those blends that I continue to repeat research and look for new research in this interesting area of essential oils and how effective they can be. My folder of information has doubled in size in the last two years and this blend has been reformulated (again) and I'm feeling very confident in its effectiveness, both from the research and secondly just from personal and anecdotal evidence. This is a customized blend of pure essential oils known for their immunostimulant and immunomodulating abilities. There are some who think essential oils don't actually "stimulate" the immune system, but frankly, speaking as a nurse and a researcher, any time something increases your white blood cell count, it is absolutely stimulating the immune system. There are both in vitro and in vivo studies showing this. I would suggest that you start diffusing this one as soon as you even think you are getting a cold or infection, are going on a long trip, especially if in airplanes, or going to be around a large group of people in closed conference rooms. Can't diffuse - use a kleenex! Better yet use our personal nasal inhalers.
DESCRIPTION:
10 mL and 15 ml sizes available with safety dropper cap - keep out of reach of children and pets. This blend contains some of the strongest skin irritants of all oils and must be diluted properly. Diffusing this oil is the most effective method. It also contains a high percentage an anticoagulant oils - do not use if on other blood thinners.
I reformulated this already effective blend again in December of 2020 after reading more and more research about the immunostimulant properties of quite a few of the essential oils we already love and use in this and other blends. We've been looking closely at the research about copaiba in particular. We will soon be adding links to some of the best articles for those who want to know the why's of this blend and the proof that the chemical constituents in this blend have been researched and shown to be very effective. The predominant chemical constituent in some of these oils have studies showing they activate white blood cell activity (basically your immune system's army), are able to inhibit airborne germs, and general immunostimulants. The perfect blend to use if you're going to be traveling, in a conference with lots of people stuck in the room for hours at a time, shopping on busy holidays, a childcare setting, a hospital hallway or nurses' station or just being exposed to potentially dangerous colds and flu's. We've detailed below the properties of each oil:

SAFETY/USE:
Immune Enhancer blend - newly reformulated to be even more effective. This blend contains clove and cinnamon, both of which are high in the chemical constitutent Eugenol which is an anticoagulant. That means they thin the blood, so should not be used with anyone who is presently on other blood thinners, either pharmaceuticals such as Coumadin or Plavix, over-the-counter, or supplement such as Nattokinase. Also do not use prior to or immediately following surgery. Keep all essential oil bottles tightly closed when not in use, leave dropper cap in place, and keep out of reach of children or pets. DO NOT USE THIS BLEND UNDILUTED. INTENDED FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. This warning has absolutely nothing to do with the purity of the oil and is only to be used internally if under the expertise and guidance of a healthcare and/or professional aromatherapy clinician.
This blend can be used as simply as placing a couple drops onto a tissue and sniffing the aromatherapy. This blend is very effective when used in an ultrasonic diffuser. This blend also contains some oils known to be skin irritants; however, this blend when diluted can safely and effectively be used as a chest rub, back rub or foot rub. I don't recommend this blend as a full massage blend. As little as 2 drops in one ounce of carrier vegetable oil is sufficient. We also find it very effective to use this, or any of our blends or oils, in our personal nasal inhaler soon to be added to the website. These are very convenient as they are the size of a lip balm and can be carried easily in your pocket or purse.

TESTIMONIALS:
Ann- Our 2 boys (16 mos and 3) have been suffering from allergies this whole last 2 months. They seem to get better here and there when the temp drops then right back to runny noses and coughing.
The baby was very mucus filled yesterday when I got the breathe easy and immune enhancer. The 3 year old has been coughing for about 2weeks straight. We haven't had any fevers.
Last night I made a chest rub with the breathe easy and diffused the immune enhancer in their rooms overnight.
Not exagerrating....the 3 year old woke up and tried to cough(there wasn't any thing there) and the baby was snot free! Daycare provider was astonished!(to be honest, so was I!) This latest batch was PERFECT! Thanks again! Mandi, Lincoln, NE (posted 12-13-11)
