I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard of things going around the neighborhood and we don’t get them any more (or least not as severely) – and the main thing I do is put a drop of On Guard on my children’s feet every night before they go to bed. Prevention is key.

This is one of my favorite blends, not only because of the amazing benefits it brings to my family after a long day at school and work, but because it smells so good! Diffusing it along with Wild Orange and Lemon creates a lovely scent that uplifts my family and boosts their immune system at the same time.
Another of my favorite ways to use this oil is the Beadlets. They are 1/4 of a drop of oil from the bottle which is the perfect amount if you need a quick pick me up. It is one of the most popular oils blends at dōTERRA because of its wide range of uses.
This is one of my favorites to diffuse at home because of its protective benefits. Keeping my family safe from environmental threats is high on my priority list. I also love the cleaner concentrate cause I feel like it’s really cleaning the surfaces of my house and not just pushing stuff around.
They also have toothpaste, soap and a spray our family uses regularly to help us support healthy immune function. We go through quite a lot of it but it’s totally worth it!
You can see from the list below it’s popular in food recipes and for DIY cleaning recipes. Check out some of the great ideas below!

All-Purpose Spray
You can use this cleaner to clean pretty much anything in your house. You won’t need surgical masks or rubber gloves. It’s nice that you can make simple non-toxic cleaners that are inexpensive from ingredients that you already have in your home. It’s safe for the environment and save for you and your family too. It works especially well in the kitchen and bathroom.

Natural Air Freshener
This is a real simple concept! It’s a lot cheaper and smells better than those air fresheners you plug into your wall. They smell so fake. I can’t even stand the smell of any of them. I don’t like their scent is really strong, even on the lowest setting they drive me nuts. This mixture is nice and subtle but keeps your room smelling fresh. I like to put mine in the kitchen close to the garbage can.

This sounds like a perfect essential oil to have to keep you healthy!
Great tips, I just got On Guard today but did not know any other way to use it than in the diffuser. Just gargled with it and put two drops in my glass
I love visiting your site to learn more about essential oils and all their uses! Thanks! Can’t wait to get OnGuard.
Love EO’s! I’m using a sample of doTerra OnGuard in my home right now and I love it! looking forward to trying it out for different aspects of my home!
Its one of my favorite oils. I take it everyday in a capsule.
OnGuard and Breathe are my 2 everyday Oil Blends
Very nice Rebecca
Thanks!
So I got an infection and have a wound vac can I use the on guard with coconut oil in a roller bottle and put around my wound
I’m not sure, cause I don’t really know what a wound vac is. I do know that when I had a small surgery on my leg and it would hurt, I found tons of relief from putting a drop of frankincense right on it. It was too sensitive for me to directly touch it, but the drop worked for the light surface pain and then I used a prescription for the deep down pain.
