In a study in America the OnGuard essential oil blend has been clinically proven to work as antiviral protection

A study in Oklahoma, conducted in vitro (in a lab), suggests OnGuard can both protect against influenza viruses and decrease their spread. In an article published in 2015 in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine* the authors wrote: ‘The lack of toxicity and potent specific viral inhibitory activity suggest [DoTerra OnGuard] essential oil may be helpful as a possible antiviral drug for control and treatment of influenza virus infection. It could potentially be used as a non-toxic way to cleanse surfaces, or dispersed to eliminate aerosolized virus particles in confined areas. Since the oil is currently used as a food supplement, oral administration, once the pharmacokinetics are determined, may provide therapeutic benefit during infection.’

OnGuard is a blend of the following essential oils, all Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade which means they are 100% pure, unadulterated and can be taken internally as well as used topically:

  • Eucalyptus contains strong purifying properties and, with its sharp, soothing, cooling vapour, is much used (in for instance, Olbas products) for relief of nasal and bronchial congestion.
  • Cinnamon supports healthy metabolic function and helps maintain a healthy immune system, can repel insects and with its warm spicy favour is frequently used in mouth rinses and chewing gums.
  • Wild orange peel provides a strong, sweet, uplifting and energising citrus aroma.
  • Clove bud adds a freshening, cleansing element, especially good for mouth hygiene.
  • Rosemary’s herbaceous and energising scent is frequently used in aromatherapy to rejuvenate and restore.
