Description:

You may have heard of On Guard, as it’s one of dōTERRA’s most popular oil blends. We use this oil daily in our home, in one of its various forms (the toothpaste is my fave!).

On Guard is a blend of five essential oils that support a healthy immune system and protect against environmental and seasonal threats year round. It is also great to use as a non-toxic surface cleanser in the home. The combination of wild orange, cinnamon, clove, rosemary, and eucalyptus essential oils in this blend make it a powerful ally for the body, mind, and environment.

On Guard can be used Aromatically, Topically, and Internally.

doTERRA has also made it convenient for you to be "on guard" with its line of On Guard products,including toothpaste (natural, fluoride free and whitening), mouthwash, foaming hand soap, all purpose cleaner, hand sanitizing mist, laundry detergent, softgels, and protective throat drops.
