Simple, Easy Immune Boosting Recipes
*IMPORTANT: Only Young Living’s therapeutic grade Vitality essential oils are safe for internal consumption! Do not consume any other brand of essential oil as their safety cannot be guaranteed. Most all other essential oils use chemicals and fillers in their growing, processing, and extraction methods, which make them dangerous and no longer “natural” and would not be considered safe for consumption.
Intensive Immune Booster Recipe:
12 Drops of Thieves Vitality
6 Drops of Oregano Vitality
2 Drops of Frankincense Vitality
Put into Gelatin Capsules (size 00). Take this 4 times a day for 3 days, and then 3 times a day for 4 days...however, you may not have to take it that long before your immune system is strengthened!
Simple Syrup:
A simple syrup made from garlic, honey, cayenne powder, and lemon Vitality may help support the respiratory system during the winter seasons and beyond.
Ingredients:
Raw Honey – (1/2 cup)
Garlic – (4 - 6 cloves, more if tolerated)
**Cayenne pepper – start with ¼ tsp, work up to 1 tsp (or 1 dropper if using tincture)
Lemon Vitality essential oil (2 or 3 drops).
*For extra support, add Eucalyptus Vitality oil (1 – 3 drops). (This helps break down nasties in chest. Freshly grated ginger can also be added. Start with ½ tsp grated then work up as needed. Ginger has properties that have been known historically to be effective for intensive wellness support and is analgestic. It is also mildly sedative.)
**We use Dr. Schultz Cayenne Tincture – the benefits of this tincture are extraordinary! www.herbdoc.com
Directions:
Mix all together. Start with ½ tsp every half hour or as needed. You can use as much as you like, as this is just food. They honey soothes the throat and causes the ingredients to adhere to the throat. The garlic enhances the immune system; the cayenne brings the blood and circulation to the areas of concern. The lemon is an astringent and cleanser and is supportive of healthy congestive regulation.
Caution:
Never give honey to a child under 1 year of age. You can instead rub Young Living’s RC Essential Oil blend on their back or feet (using a carrier oil).

Thieves Quick Action
For keeping our throats in optimal wellness!
1 drop Thieves in your palm. With the thumb of your other hand, rotate the drop 3 times to “charge” the molecules of the Thieves, then place thumb on the roof of your mouth, as far back as you can go without gagging (in the soft spot). Hold until you feel the pulse on the roof of your mouth (it may take up to a minute or more).
