Protection is our favorite "go-to" essential oil blend. It's perfect for diffusing because it has a "Christmas-time" scent that fills the house better than potpourri and seems to be liked by everyone. The concept behind the blend references legends about grave robbers who used the ingredients to ward off illness as they pursued their grave-robbing activities. Whether or not this is true, the aroma does exude a feeling of cleanliness and disinfecting. Some evidence of similar blends suggests that these ingredients may support the immune system. Similar blends by other companies have a variety of names.

This is my very favorite oil. I rub it on my kids feet at night, especially during the winter months. My kids seem to stay healthy while kids around us are getting sick multiple times. I will also put two small drops in a small glass bottle with water. If I feel a sore throat coming on, I will spray it in the back of my throat. I love this oil!

This is a must have for me. I have had sinus and allergy problems for years. Since I started using Protection, the allergies have been cut at least in half and I haven't had a sinus infection. I'll add other single oils like Peppermint or Cinnamon because of their great smells. Use almost daily....D

I love love love this oil. Not only is it always in my diffuser to help us from getting sick, it is one of the first things I use on the onset of a cold, etc. At one of my many educational visits with the owners, David told me that he would just drop some in his mouth when feeling something coming on. Sarah, seeing my face, told me her trick of putting a drop on her wrist and licking it off (that way insuring one drop). I tried Sarah's tip the next time I felt a sore throat coming on. I was shocked. It did not turn into the cold I thought it was going to. If you see me licking my wrist, you know why!! Just a little warning. The taste is one you definitely have to get used to, but you do.
