Avoid the 'Hack-Attack' with Breathe

This is the time of year when everyone around you seems to be getting sick. Maybe you noticed it at the holiday gatherings or perhaps in your work place. Regardless of where it happens, it is a struggle to avoid finding yourself in the middle of ‘Germ Central.’

And, if you are anything like me, you are probably super-sensitive to the ‘hackers’ of the world. You know who they are. They are the ones who sneeze in your general proximity and barely cover their mouths. They may grab a tissue and walk over to speak with you while they blow their nose. While I am sure these actions are an innocent faux pas, it is still annoying and … let’s be honest, disgusting.

Rather than panic or get angry, there are many things one can do about this. One powerful step you can take is to use doTERRA’s On Guard protective essential oil blend regularly to keep your immunity strong. Using this blend twice a day is essential for illness prevention.

However, I understand that sometimes, people forget or they just decide to ‘tempt fate,’ and risk illness. If you choose to do this, it is likely you will contract some sort of respiratory infection. In the event this happens, fear not. You do have a back-up plan available.

At this point, your best move is to use Breathe, doTERRA’s respiratory blend.

Enhanced with the powerful respiratory benefits of Cardamom, Breathe is a remarkable blend of essential oils that combine to help you breathe easier. Breathe supports healthy respiratory function when seasonal threats are high and can be used safely by all members of the family to soothe airways and promote clear breathing.

This proprietary blend consists of Laurel Leaf, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Melaleuca, Lemon, Ravensara, and Cardamom essential oils, all known for their positive effects on the respiratory system. Breathe can be applied topically to the chest, back, or bottom of feet, or diffused at nighttime to calm the senses and promote sleep.

For best effectiveness, Breathe can be used in the following ways:

Diffuse, inhale directly from palms, or rub on chest or feet when seasonal and environmental threats are high.

It can be used when outdoors to minimize the effects of seasonal changes.

It can be diffused in room to promote clear breathing and at bedtime for a restful night’s sleep.


I can assist the snorer in your family - just rub Breathe on his or her chest before bed for a better night’s rest.
