Essential Oils are powerful antiseptics and regenerators. They are relaxing, stress reducing, and sleep improving. All these things fight against stress, which is the biggest culprit in a weak immune system.

2. Rosemary Essential Oil: Rosemary is an excellent liver cleanser (and our livers do so much work to clean out the bad stuff!). It is also an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Diffuse Rosemary Oil to reap its benefits.

3. Lemon & Grapefruit Essential Oils: Both these citrus essential oils are antiseptic, antibacterial, anti inflammatory, stress reducing, and energizing! Put a few drops of either or both in your water and sip on them for the day.
