There is never a bad time to diffuse essential oils, but the times leading up to and including the holidays are one of the best times. Not only do essential oils help to improve our moods, they also offer immune support and protection. Immune Protect This is an oil I diffuse pretty much every day all winter long. The oils in this blend were created from research recorded in the archives of the British Museum library about a group of 14th century European perfumers and spice traders (and some thieves as well) who, during the Black Plague, rubbed oils on themselves and on masks while they robbed the dead and dying. Today it is still used to help ward off...
