Essential Oils for Immune System Disorders
Normally, the immune system produces white blood cells to protect the body from
antigens such as bacteria, virus, and an assortment of toxins that may harm the
body. There are a number of things can have a direct impact on your system, as well as
when the immune system cannot distinguish between healthy body tissue and antigens,
producing an unwanted response and attacking itself.
Essential oils have a remarkable ability to both support the immune system and increase
one’s rate of healing. Some of these same essential oils are also powerful antiseptics.
One way these oils fight infection is to stimulate the production of white corpuscles, a
major part of the body’s immune defense. Still, other essential oils encourage new cell
growth to promote faster healing.
Essential oils that are beneficial for the immune system include Bergamot, Grapefruit,
Lavender, Lemon, Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Rosemary, Tea Tree, and Thyme, just to
name a few.
One important way to assist your immune system is a lymphatic massage with an
essential oil blend. The lymphatic system is a complex network made up of capillaries,
vessels, ducts and lymph nodes. It plays a major role in cleaning up of the space
surrounding the body cells which contains the interstitial fluid. When blood supply goes
through the capillaries, nutrients as well as harmful products in it are filtered out into
the interstitium. The lymphatic system rounds up any dead cells, toxins and foreign
bodies in the interstitium and take it back to the heart where it joins the rest of the
circulation and any unwanted products are then excreted out of the body. Citrus oils
such as Lemon and Grapefruit are especially good at stimulating movement and support
the cleansing and detoxification process.
A lymphatic massage, using deep strokes working from the extremities toward the heart
can be done by you. Rub the blend up your arms toward the armpits and then down
the neck. For legs, start at your feet massaging oil up your legs toward your groin and
lymph nodes.
Essential oils such as Lavender, Rosemary, and Lemon are able to stimulate the body
to produce white blood cells. Juniper Berry, Fennel, Lavender, Lemon and Rosemary
stimulate phagocytosis. Hormonal imbalance, toxin accumulation, sedentary lifestyle,
stress, poor diet and poor posture are other causes of lymph stasis with toxins that
remain in the body. Complications include skin breakdown, chronic infections and
cellulite. Essential oils that can be used to decrease fluid retention and lymph stasis
include Fennel, Grapefruit, Lemon, Orange, Tangerine and Mandarin.
