What are essential oils that build immunity?

There are many essential oils that build the immune system. Aromatherapy is a safe, natural and proven way to help build our immune system. They also give an extra boost of energy and help purify the body of chemical toxins.

Our immune system consists of a group of cells and organs that work together to defend the body against foreign invaders that can cause disease, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The health of the body depends on the immune system’s ability to recognize and then repel or destroy these invading microorganisms.

Now our modern lifestyles are not very healthy. We have some of the poorest eating habits, environmental pollution is on the rise, we are stressed, and it is no wonder we are seeing more new viruses being affected by chemical pollution. Let’s say our immune system is being challenged.

Stress is one of the main culprits in the breakdown of the immune system. Research has shown that severe depression can lower a person’s immunity and open themselves up to infection.

If our immune system fails to fight viruses or bacteria. it can cause infections such as herpes simplex infection, chickenpox, allergies, fungal infections, infectious diseases such as measles, rubella, glandular fever, or HIV.
