Fighting at Home?

12/21/2020

 
Nope, I'm not talking about fighting with your loved ones over the holiday. I'm talking about fighting germs and viruses at home with natural products. Lately, I've gotten lots of questions about how I personally use essential oils. Since my devotional book was published, many have looked to me for essential oil insight. And, while I do have a passion for and experience with oils for myself, I am not an aromatherapist. I do, however, have a trusted team I turn to for my essential oils. There's a small family company called Imani Naturals in Minnesota. Brian is the founder and he was so kind to take the time to help me edit the aromatherapy section of Holy Listening with Breath, Body, and the Spirit. I love not only their products but also their hearts at Imani Naturals.

Their Infection Fighting Kit includes oil blends that have already been diluted and are likely safe for use on your person or in your home (I say likely safe because people can be allergic to anything, always test any new oils or blends in a small place on your body before you slather them everywhere!). As of this post, this kit is on sale for $99 and if you use my blog code, "exploringpeace" Brian will send you a free oil too! So what is in this infection fighting kit and how do you use it? 


  • Blue - Air & Surface Spray. Spritz in the air and surfaces like doorknobs, handles and the like. Blue is a blend of Imani's M-One Synergy emulsified into purified water and Tea Tree Hydrolate. (Perfect for anything you touch).
  • Immunothone - Anti-infectious Mouth Spray including Oregano, Lavender, Lemon, Tea Tree, Clove Bud, Pine, Geranium, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Cajeput, Niaouli, Cinnamon, Savory & Thyme Essential Oils in a water soluble base for spray-ability. (I spray this on my toothbrush between brushings).
  • Guardian Plus - Our Guardian Synergy of Cinnamon Bark, Lemon, Clove Bud, Eucalyptus radiata and Rosemary Essential Oils in a water soluble base for spray-ability. (Great to spray inside your face mask before or after use).
  • Violarome - A unique respiratory combination using Violet Leaf, Eucalyptus globulus (Common) and Thymus linalol (Mild Thyme) in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil and Organic Jojoba. (I use this one inside my nostrils, can also be a chest rub).

Also in our home, I have the Guardian blend diffusing constantly this season. We're washing hands, taking our supplements, and will be getting a vaccine when it's available. While there's no guarantee for avoiding COVID-19 (our son has had it already), we're doing our best to stay well and essential oils are part of that regimen. While there are tons of diffusers on the market, I've found I like a larger capacity diffuser with varied settings. I set mine up to diffuse intermittently and that means filling it less often (and yes, you do need to wipe out and clean your diffusers when not in use).

How did I learn about essential oils? Well, for one you I looked to trusted sources, like this information and education from companies I know, as well as aromatherapists and their books. I also use my oils regularly to discover what supports my body and my spirit. Aromatherapy is more than just "smelling good" it is an embodied experience that offers natural benefits such as infection fighting, something I'm leaning into to support my body and spirit in these challenging times.

What essential oils are your favorite for infection fighting?
