The immune system is our first ally against all the aggressions that the body can undergo. In some people, its functions and efficiency are sometimes diminished. A poor diet, too much exposure to toxins, stress, fatigue or certain diseases can indeed impact the body's defenses and weaken them. The immune system is however essential to maintain a general state of health and to fight effectively against seasonal infections. Fortunately, the properties of essential oils can help you to strengthen it in order to get through the winter safely!

To stimulate one's immune defenses in times of general fatigue or simply as a preventive measure, Ravintsara essential oil is the reflex to have. It is composed of molecules with remarkable anti-infectious and immunostimulant properties.
Firstly, 1,8-cineole, which constitutes more than half of its composition, is a terpene oxide with proven activity on the cells of the immune system: it increases the number of antibodies in the body and thus strengthens the defense of the cells.
Moreover, the 1,8-cineole is associated in the essential oil of Ravintsara with alpha terpineol. This association increases their individual properties tenfold to make them strongly antiviral, which will effectively assist the body in its fight against viral infections often contracted during phases of immune deficiency.
Tea Tree essential oil is antibacterial due to its high terpinen-4-ol content. It will therefore help the body to eliminate bacterial infections that the immune system is unable to fight.
But terpinen-4-ol is also antiviral and above all immunomodulating. This immunomodulation involves stimulating the activity of cells involved in the body's defense: the white blood cells. Among other things, the effects obtained are an increase in the number of antibodies and a limitation of the body's non-beneficial reactions to infections (this is the anti-inflammatory response).
The Tea Tree essential oil is thus perfectly suited to this immune-boosting synergy through its antibacterial and white blood cell stimulating properties.
The Thyme Thyme essential oil is rich in phenols (thymol and carvacrol) which are the most anti-infective molecules available. They will not give a chance to viruses and bacteria wanting to take advantage of their host's immune weakness. Thymol is also particularly effective against Candida albicans, the yeast responsible for various types of mycoses, often favored when immunity is not at its strongest. And to boost it, thymol and carvacrol will help the molecules of Tea Tree and Ravintsara essential oils by their immunostimulant power.
Finally, the essential oil of Thyme with Thymol has terpenes in notable quantity. These molecules have an effect on the general tonicity of the body and will give him all the lost energy.
The "junk food", smoking, or the accumulation of toxins and pollutants in the body participate in weakening it. All these harmful molecules are found in the liver and this is why we have chosen to integrate the Lemon essential oil into this synergy. The latter contains limonene, a monoterpene with detoxifying and hepatoprotective activity that will allow a certain drainage of the liver to eliminate at best all the harmful components and give a boost to the body.
In addition, breathing in its antiseptic scent will prevent the development of many pathogenic organisms.
The Linalol Thyme essential oil has several interesting components to synergize. First, it is made of a mixture of alcohols (linalool, thujanol and terpinen-4-ol) with strong antiviral and antibacterial properties.
If it is about the 1,8-cineole for Ravintsara and the terpinèn-4-ol for Tea Tree, it is here especially the linalol which confers its virtues to Thyme with Linalol. This assortment of molecules will keep any infection away from your child. Moreover, this essential oil has certain monoterpenes which will have a general tonic effect on the body.
To protect babies from the adverse effects of using essential oils, it is best to dilute them in a vegetable oil before use. The Hazelnut Vegetable Oil is an ideal oil for babies, as its composition makes it a penetrating oil, which does not leave a greasy film on the skin. Thus, the active ingredients of essential oils penetrate quickly into the body, for an optimal action.
To promote the action of the essential oils in this synergy, without risking skin irritation or overdosing, these oils are diluted in Nigella vegetable oil. It was chosen for its immunostimulant properties, which are added to those of the essential oils in this synergy. Nigella will indeed allow your immune defenses to regain their strength, to protect you against seasonal infections that can be quite difficult to live with during a pregnancy.
