Whether you’re looking to safeguard your family during cold and flu season, refresh your home, or support everyday vitality, there’s an Edens Garden immune-boosting blend for you.
In this blog, we’re diving into some of our most popular immunity and wellness blends, helping you choose which one is right for you and when to use it. This or that? Let’s find out.
How Do Essential Oils Boost Immunity?
Essential oils contain naturally occurring compounds with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-supporting properties. According to studies, many essential oils show potential for strengthening the immune system and protecting against harmful pathogens. For example:
- Antimicrobial benefits: Oils like Tea Tree and Eucalyptus have been shown to help inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses.[1]
- Anti-inflammatory effects: Essential oils such as Frankincense and Lavender[2] may reduce inflammation and support immune balance.
- Respiratory support: Oils like Peppermint and Rosemary can open airways and promote easier breathing,[3] helping the body fight seasonal threats.
- Stress relief for immune health: Blends with calming oils such as Bergamot and Chamomile support the nervous system,[4] indirectly boosting immune function.
With these powerful properties, essential oils become a natural choice for immune defense and wellness support.

I have neuropathy of the feet and my hands have very little feeling in my fingers. What would be a good combination and how do you use it?
Hailey
Great article on essential oil blends! The detailed breakdown makes it easy to choose the right blend for my needs. Could you suggest any specific blends for enhancing focus during work hours? It would be great to have some options to improve productivity. Thanks!
Edens Garden
Hi Christine! Both blends offer quite similar therapeutic benefits and can be used interchangeably.
Christine Daugherty
This blog didn’t clear things up on which one I should choose, guardian or fighting five. I still don’t know.
Edens Garden
Hi Libby! The best way to use these blends is to inhale them by way of diffusion. Add 10 drops of your wellness blend to 100 ml of water in an essential oil diffuser. You can also use an Essential Oil Inhaler or Mio Mist Diffuser for on-the-go use.
Libby
How do I use any of those immunity/wellness products?
Edens Garden
Hi Gaila! You can learn more about our stance on ingestion here: https://www.edensgarden.com/blogs/news/is-it-safe-to-ingest-essential-oils-1

Are your essential oils GRAS? ( generally regarded as safe – for internal use) I am accustomed to using some of my YL oils internally and would like to continue doing so, however, the price of YL oils are just too expensive for me to continue with. Thanks!

I was looking for some essential oils that were more affordable than the oils that I’ve been using (I just can’t afford Frankincense for $70). I decided to try out Guardian and compared it to my DoTerra OnGuard blend that has the same oils, and I literally could not tell a difference! Smelled the same, felt the same on my fingers, etc. I am super impressed with Eden’s Garden’s selection of oils, their prices, and now their quality. I think I’m gonna be switching to Eden’s Garden for the majority of my essential oil needs :)

Hi Meri! Yes, try our Allure synergy blend: https://www.edensgarden.com/products/allure-whisper
Meri Horn
Do you have a combo like Young Living Valor?
Edens Garden
Hi Ann! Unfortunately, we do not have a blend similar to Release at this time. Though we hope to in the future.
Ann Koons
Would you have an oil blend similar to the Young Living oil “Release”? I love it, but not the price! Thank you!
