My family is so incredibly thankful for essential oils entering our lives. We used to constantly deal with immunity and seasonal issues. Since adding these powerful little natural solutions, the symptoms that come with these struggles have been much fewer and farther between.
I want to share a couple of easy recipes with you today that have really helped us. My son is 15 so if your children are younger, please make sure to cut the recipe accordingly. These roller bottle blends are very strong so I do not use them year round, only at the first signs of symptoms.
For winter struggles such as nausea, sniffles, coughs…, I start the following blend as soon as any of those issues show up. The key for us is consistency. We roll the bottoms of our feet every 30 minutes or so in the beginning, cutting back to a few times a day as symptoms start fading away.
Immune Support Bomb*
15 drops Lemon
10 drops each: Frankincense, dōTERRA OnGuard blend, Oregano, and Melaleuca
Add the essential oils to a 10mL roller bottle. Fill remainder with Fractionated Coconut Oil. Gently roll in hands and rotate bottle to mix.
For seasonal issues such as the rapidly approaching sneezes of spring, we use the following blend. A quick roll on the bottoms of all of our feet once or twice a day usually does the trick for us. This blend can also be diffused by using equal parts of each oil!
Seasonal Support Blend*
20 drops each: Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint
Add the essential oils to a 10mL roller bottle. Fill remainder with Fractionated Coconut Oil. Gently roll in hands and rotate bottle to mix.
What are your favorite natural solutions for these family health struggles? I would love to hear your tips in the comments!

This is great and definitely going to keep in mind for all my family’s seasonal needs. So thank you for sharing here 🙂
I hope it helps, Janine! The seasonal blend does wonders for my son. Let me know if you have any questions :).
I really need to look into this stuff, don’t I?! I pinned this to use when I can finally take the time to research all the oils and see what our family might need. I’m SO glad they help you and your family, Candace!! I know soooo many people who use them and say the same about the benefits of using them for SO many health issues! Clearly, I’m missing out. lol
You are definitely missing out, my friend. I would love to talk to you about this sometime, Chris. I’m a wellness advocate with doTERRA and am almost finished with my essential oil coaching certification through Dr. Joshua Axe. I’m feeling really knowledgeable these days between education and my own experience with oils ;). Just contact me when you’re ready and we can chat. You know where to find me!
I’ve never used essential oils for immune support, but it sounds like it would be an easy way to build up your immune system. I’m glad to hear that it works well for your family. I will have to try essential oils one day for immune support.
They are wonderful for so many issues, Sonya. Let me know if you have any questions. I would be happy to help :).
