Every part of your body operates more efficiently when protected from environmental threats. When you take measures to protect yourself from harsh weather, pollutants, and other external stressors, your immune system can focus on maintaining your health rather than constantly fighting off invaders. This can lead to improved overall well-being, increased energy levels, and a greater sense of vitality. For example, wearing appropriate clothing for the weather and ensuring you have a clean living environment can all contribute to a healthier, more resilient body. Taking these small, proactive steps can make a significant difference in your long-term health, allowing you to enjoy life to the fullest.
The immune system is a wonderfully complex part of the body! God created our bodies to heal themselves, but we need to do our part too! The best actions are proactive instead of reactive.
Here are some ideas to start:
- Avoid smoking.
- Consume a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, skipping ultra processed foods. Pro Tip: shop the perimeter of the grocery store, buy produce and meat directly from the farmer when possible. (Farmer's Markets and local farms)
- Filter your drinking water.
- Engage in regular physical activity.
- If you consume alcohol, do so in moderation.
- Ensure you get an adequate amount of sleep.
- Wash your hands often.
- Minimize stress whenever you can.
- Use products without fragrances listed in the ingredients. Pro Tip: if it's scented, it most likely has fragrance or perfume in the ingredient list.
- Use glass, not plastic.
- Do not use synthetic pesticides.
- Switch to natural personal care products.
Inflammation is one of the main factors contributing to disease in the human body (i.e., heart disease). It can be caused by bacteria, poor diet, chemicals, hormonal imbalance, or a physical injury. The first response of our immune system to irritation or infection in the body is often inflammation. It can come from an organ or body system plugged with toxins and waste, making it difficult to obtain needed nutrients. Stress increases inflammation in the body, especially in the intestines, which creates even more issues.
You may already know that 70% of the immune system is in the gut. Our gut is not only tasked with breaking down food; it also produces energy, helps with detoxing, produces vitamins, breaks down drugs, and influences the brain. Our gut is called the 2nd brain!

Young Living has great products for supporting the immune system. Check out the info below:
Thieves essential oil
A blend of Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, & Rosemary. This blend was designed to support the immune system. Diffuse, roll on the bottoms of feet, or add to a warm cup of tea. This is a hot oil! 🔥 Make sure you dilute with a carrier before applying to skin!
Lemon essential oil
This essential oil is a wonderful and versatile oil to have on hand. There are so many uses! One major use is helping the immune system. It's also great for the liver. Lemon is photosensitive, so make sure you apply to skin that will not be exposed to the sunlight.
Oregano essential oil
Another great oil for the immune system. Just like the herb, this essential oil can help reduce inflammation and is an antioxidant.
Frankincense essential oil
This is a sacred oil that is lovely on the skin. I apply it to my face every night because it helps to restore cellular DNA - those are the instructions for the cell and crucial to cell function. Add a drop to the top of your head and apply to the bottoms of feet. Restoration is a key component of wellness!
