Immune support with Essential oils

 Immune Support with Essential Oils

As the season begins to change, and the temperature starts to drop, you’ll notice a lot more people sniffling, sneezing and coughing.  This time of year, especially, it is so important to give your immune system the added support it needs to protect you from bacteria and viruses.  Many essential oils can be used to both, keep us healthy, and support our bodies during illness.  Essential oils are made up of tiny molecules that can deliver healing properties to the systems that control our physiological state.  The best way for the body to absorb the therapeutic components of essential oils is a combination of inhalation through the olfactory system of the nose and absorption through the surface of the skin.

WON is proud to spotlight three of Pranarom’s, 100% organic, essential oil blends to help you through the upcoming cold and flu season.
