August's Oil of the Month is On Guard

It's time to say no to the products we are currently using to clean our homes. Instead of making things more clean, these products are making people more sick, and poisoning our children and pets. 

A great place to start is with On Guard. It's an all natural essential oil known for it's strong ability to kill harmful bacteria, mold, and viruses. This oil can be diffused into the air to improve the overall air quality and wellness of your home. It can also be used to clean and purify household surfaces.

The unique thing about On Guard, is that it is completely safe, and can be used as a form of preventative medicine against colds and flus. Therefore, it is completely safe to your body, but lethal to harmful bacteria. Unlike our standard chemical cleaners that are proving more and more to be lethal to both harmful bacteria and humans. 

If you're worried about the "convenience factor," thinking that making your own natural cleaners will take too much time, think again. On Guard is so easy to use! There are a couple of different ways you can use it:

1. You can diffuse it into the air. You can either set the bottle out on the counter for 25-40 minutes a day, with the top off. You can also buy a diffuser, and put a few drops of On Guard into the diffuser, so that the oil is sprayed into the air. 
2. You can add a few drops onto a damp washcloth and then go to town cleaning your kitchen, bathroom, floor, tables, etc. No other products are needed. This oil is strong and effective against bacteria, mold, and viruses, so there is no need to saturate a towel. Simply add a few drops. It can't get easier than this!
3. During cold and flu season, administer a drop or two to door handles, remote controls, kids toys, cell phones, and anything else that collects germs. This is a safer, but equally effective alternative to using bleach. 
4. Use it to stimulate your immune system. Combine 1 drop of On Guard per 15 drops of coconut oil into a bottle. Mix well. Massage the mixture into your throat, stomach, bottom of feet, and under the arms. This will help to prevent colds and flus by stimulating your immune system. (I know this isn't a "natural cleaner" but this info is important! Who doesn't want a natural remedy for fighting colds?)

In case you need any more motivation to toss out the standard cleaning products and start using natural ones, here are a few scary statistics about the popular household cleaners you are storing under your kitchen sink.

• Over 100 chemicals commonly found in homes have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities.
• The average American uses about 25 gallons of toxic, hazardous chemical product per year, in their home.
• The toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to cause cancer than air pollution.
• Only 1% of toxins are required to be listed on labels, because companies classify their formulas as "trade secrets."
