INNER DEFENSE
supplement

It may seem like a challenge to maintain healthy immune function in today’s ever-changing environment, but it doesn’t have to be. Think of Inner Defense as your own personal “security system,” an entourage of antioxidants if you will, to help support overall body system function. With the addition of essential oils, this supplement also creates an unfriendly environment for bacteria, yeast and fungus in the body. Our bodies are designed to adapt, and flow with ease as we transition into each new season, and this supplement makes it so easy to do just that!

KEY INGREDIENTS
Oregano, Thyme, Lemongrass, Lemon, Eucalyptus Radiata, Rosemary, and Cinnamon

HOW TO USE
• Take one softgel each morning, or three to five times per day as needed
• For optimal use, take Life 9 in the evenings or eight hours after taking Inner Defense so that you do not alter the beneficial bacteria in Life 9 with the presence of the oils found in Inner Defense
• Take while traveling to maintain your strong immune system while exposed to varying elements
• OIL HACK: pop the capsule with a needle and rub the oil on the bottom of feet for a pre-diluted application
• Take daily and increase your intake at the first sign of overall body system stress

PAIRS WELL WITH
• Life 9
• ImmuPro

BREATHE AGAIN
essential oil blend
15 ml

Looking for something to help REVIVE and INVIGORATE the senses? Carry the crisp scent of Breathe Again whenever you need to take a few deep, full-stomach breaths. Comprised of four varieties of Eucalyptus, Laurus Nobilis, Rose Hip, Peppermint, Copaiba, Myrtle, and Blue Cypress, Breathe Again is for more than a breath of fresh air. Eucalyptus oils include the naturally occurring constituent cineole (eucalyptol), which helps promote healthy airways.

Let’s practice: as you inhale, filling your entire belly with air, hold your breath for four seconds before exhaling. As you exhale, rotate your core to the side as though you are wringing out the lungs.  As you allow your lungs to fully empty, release any stressors or limiting beliefs (relax your shoulders) before you take another inhale. And this time we’re going to breathe in abundance and embrace the opportunities at hand. Repeat as many times as you’d like – your respiratory system will thank you! Now THAT was an amazing reset! 

Use a carrier oil when applying topically for sensitive skin

 HOW TO USE
• Apply to the head, neck, chest, or under the nose for a soothing aroma and cooling sensation
• A wonderful companion to help tired muscles “breathe again.” As you can see from the ingredients, this is a powerful blend of restoration.
• Diffuse to help clear the mind and awaken the senses to new ideas while you move forward with a new found clarity!

THIEVES
essential oil blend
15 ml

The first essential oil blend to be scientifically researched in a university laboratory, Thieves can be used in all areas of life: in the home, on your skin, in the body, and even on the run! Just how magnificent can this blend get? Thieves is a staple “go-to, never-run-out of” oil! The ingredients in this blend work synergistically to offer immune support and overall health and wellness!

Have you ever wondered why Thieves Blend is named as such?

Jean Valnet, a noted French Aromatherapist (1920-1995), writes about the Bubonic Plague in his groundbreaking book "The Practice of Aromatherapy."

He quotes extensively from the archives of Toulouse, referring to a band of robbers who were able to move regularly among dead or even sick people. They stole from the defenseless and marginalized patients freely, apparently without ever fearing for their personal health. Caught between 1628 and 1631, the local magistrates marveled at their health.

How was this group of bandits — these thieves — able to go where others couldn’t go without getting sick? Valnet says the men were asked that very question when placed on trial. They were promised, “Tell us, and we’ll act with leniency.” As the historic story goes, the men revealed their secret combination, explaining that they placed drops of the mix on their feet, their wrists, and the back of their necks.

So what was in the elusive concoction? Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary!

Dilute this blend with a carrier oil for sensitive skin.

This oil is photosensitive, therefore, sun exposure is not recommended for 24 hours.

HOW TO USE
• Diffuse to maintain strong health and immune defenses.  In our home, we diffuse Thieves daily in our main room.  It runs 24/7 in our nebulizing diffuser and has for years.
• Apply to bottom of feet daily to insure strong health is maintained
• Apply to a sliver to help naturally pull the object to the surface for easy removal
• Apply a few drops to a shot glass of water to ease a mild sore or itchy throat
• Teething baby? Sore gums? Apply a drop to your palm and massage with index finger until finger is dry, then massage gum area to soothe minor discomfort (the saliva will re-activate the oil molecules without the “hot-ness” of the blend) TIP: I also do this before a dental visit to ease the post-irritation feeling from a cleaning or dental work.

PAIRS WELL WITH
• ImmuPower on throat and Thieves on feet.  Then alternate with Thieves on throat, and ImmuPower on feet (dilute both oils for topical application on throat).
• Orange Essential Oil
• Ningxia Red 

FROM THE ATELIER WITH MELISSA
For the most powerful diffusing option, use a nebulizing diffuser!  A nebulizing diffuser does not use water; it breaks the oil into microscopic particles to disperse pure essential oils into the air.  It uses a lot more oil,  but it is far more powerful when you need it!
