Healing Solutions Shield Blend Essential Oil - 0.33 Fluid Ounces

I wish I had known about this blend and essential oils earlier. This particular blend really does what it says. It significantly prevents or cuts down any type of germ infection: bacterial, viral, mold spores (some sinus infections are caused by mold). I am prone to sinus infections a couple times a year-- most are viral, at least one a year is bacterial(mold I'm not sure). I also get a few head colds and maybe one bacterial ear infection.I was introduced to Doterra's On Guard this past spring and was very impressed with how it actually stopped my summer head cold, later a summer viral sinus infection, and an upper respiratory virus for my sister. With the larger MLM companies' prices being so high, I researched other essential oil companies. Healing Solutions is one of the better ones and this works as good as the On Guard does, but for a fraction of the cost. Shortly after I received this, I started to come down with a head cold. I put a drop on the bottom of my feet every couple of hours (your feet have thicker skin, less prone to irritation) and put in my diffuser for a few days. Many people I knew we're getting sick with the rainy, cold front weather change. I never developed a full cold and the sniffles were gone a few days. My sister never got sick at all!As far as the aroma of this, it is very heavy on a cinnamon and clove. Smells actually wonderful in the diffuser--- like Autumn & Christmas! With the Doterra's On Guard, I smell more of the wild orange mixed with cinnamon and clove. Both blends smell nice to me just slightly different. I think Healing Solutions has one that is made with orange essential oil rather than the lemon essential oil. Maybe that smells more like On Guard?Lastly I'm becoming a bigger believer in more homeopathic, natural medicine. I still believe in and respect mainstream medicine. But if the alternative medicines work, they should be tried first. I already bought a second bottle that I'm giving to my cousin as one of her birthday gifts this coming weekend and I'll buy a third bottle for my daughter's birthday in October.

I was a serious skeptic. I viewed essential oils as things that smelled nice, but nothing more. As a professor, I'm inclined to think if things were really medically effective, my doctor would be recommending it. But I'm also a chronic sinus infection sufferer. Usually they take 3-4 weeks to clear up even with antibiotics, and I spend a good two weeks feeling like the walking death. So when I felt the beginnings of a sinus infection the saturday before a big important work trip, I panicked. I finally folded and figured that even if essential oils were just mumbo jumbo, they probably couldnt hurt. I put this into my atomizer and just sat in front of it and breathed in deeply through the nose a couple of times throughout the day. By the end of the first day I was shocked that I was already starting to feel better, not worse. That first infection never got horrible and cleared within four days.But I believe in science, if even only the small N experiment I might be able to do on myself. So the next time I got the start of a sinus infection I started with the same full court press of pseudoephedrine, nasal spray, and atomized health shield. I started to get better. I removed the health shield, I started to get worse again. I added health shield back into the mix and immediately started to get better again. I thought maybe it was just the humid mist, so I removed health shield and just sat in front of the atomizer mist with no essential oil -- I got worse again. You get the picture. It probably wont be published in the New England Journal of medicine, but I am now a firm believer.
