Ah, what a great vacation! You finally had a chance to relax in the sunshine....only to come home to discover you picked up a bug on your trip.
This scenario is becoming all too common these days!
What can you do to boost your immunity before your trip? And what you can you do afterward if you did catch something?
Here's what Keith and I did before, during, and after our last international trip to stay healthy.
BEFORE THE TRIP
As we do every single day, we boosted our immune system with antioxidants by drinking two ounces of NingXia Red every single day. Every. Single. Day. It's delicious by itself, but we use it as the base of our green smoothies. By the way, these nifty 2-ounce single packets are perfect for traveling.
We all know that vitamin C is essential for wellness. But did you know that your body cannot naturally produce vitamin C on its own? It's always a good idea to take vitamin C as part of your daily routine. But in this case, we doubled up and took two each day. But not just any vitamin C.
In addition to 1,440% of the recommended dietary intake of vitamin C, Super C Tablets are also fortified with rutin, citrus bioflavonoids, and minerals to balance electrolytes and enhance absorption. By the way, they also come in yummy chewables.
Inner Defense is basically Thieves in a capsule. Designed specially for immune support, these capsules are also supercharged with oregano and thyme, two powerful oils for promoting wellness.
DURING THE TRIP
INTERNAL PROTECTION
In addition to continuing the protocol we had started before our trip, we decided we wanted to boost our immunity even more.
A few weeks before leaving, I visited my local naturopath. She gave me a saline nose spray that she had fortified with Yarrow, Elecampane, Horseradish, Oregon grape, Stinging Nettle, Thyme, and Wild Bergamot. Her advice: use this as a protective barrier whenever you're going to be around people—in airports, on planes, in restaurants, etc.
I also made an immunity mouth spray for that same reason. My spray starts with Thieves Fresh Essence Mouthwash. The name 'Thieves' tells you everything you need to know.
EXTERNAL PROTECTION
I never leave the house without my Thieves Waterless Hand Sanitizer. Why is it better every other hand sanitizer out there? First of all, you can smell and feel the natural Thieves essential oil blend. Second, the alcohol is denatured peppermint oil, so it won't dry your hands out or smell like other hand sanitizers. And lastly, it's infused with aloe, leaving your hands feeling silky smooth.
I also always have Thieves spray for surfaces. Like the hand sanitizer, this is always in my purse. Think about all the things you'd like to sanitize when you're out and about—public doors, grocery carts, you name it. Often I'll pair my Thieves spray with Thieves Hand Sanitizing Wipes. These are great when my hands are sticky. We also used them to wipe down all the surfaces as soon as we got onto each plane.Lastly, my naturopath strongly suggested using compression socks on flights to prevent blood clots.
AFTER OUR RETURN
When we got home, we simply continued our vitamin routine and stayed hydrated with electrolytes by simply adding Vitality Drops to our water.
We were fortunate and did not get sick.
However, if we started feeling under the weather, this is what we would have done IMMEDIATELY:
1. Thieves Vitality Protocol
2. Ginger Detox Bath
3. NingXia Red
4. Wolfberry/Elderberry Super Syrup
5. Super C Tablets
6. Thieves Cough Drops (as needed)
Here's the problem. When you're coming down with something, you need to proactively jump on it immediately and don't have time to wait for a Young Living order to arrive. So it's a good idea to have these tools on hand now so that you're ready.
Here's how you can find all these ingredients in one handy spot:
I will also be hosting some wellness box "make and take" events in the next few weeks so that you can arm your family and/or friends when they need an extra immunity boost.
Reach out to me anytime with questions or for free samples.
Stay well!

Wolfberries contain over 15% protein, 21 essential minerals, 18 amino acids, and a multitude of vitamins.

NingXia Nitro is a delicious antioxidant shot infused with essential oils, botanical extracts, D-ribose, Korean ginseng, and green tea extract that help increase cognitive alertness, enhance mental fitness, and support overall athletic and mental performance. When you need a pick-me-up, turn to NingXia Nitro! This slightly sweet supplement shot increases your overall energy reserves, sharpens your mind, and helps you become more focused!KEY INGREDIENTS:
- NingXia Nitro Juice: cherry, kiwi, blueberry, black currant, raspberry, strawberry, cranberry juices which are packed full of antioxidants to help support our bodies, especially when they are running low!
- Nitro Energy Blend: D-ribose, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Folate, Vitamin B12, Choline, Potassium, Green tea extract, mulberry leaf extract, Korean Ginseng extract and wolfberry seed oil. All of these are plant-derived vitamins and herbs that help support energy levels naturally.
- D-ribose: Essential to help build ATP in the body. ATP is the body's energy currency. You need it to, you know, take a breath, have a heartbeat and for a neuron to fire!
- Korean Ginseng: Well studied for its ability to support normal cognition.
- Green Tea Extract: Anormal, NATURALLY OCCURRING source of caffeine. There's approximately 30 mg of caffeine per tube.
- B Vitamins: Critical for normal neuron function. They also help support normal cognitive/brain function.
- Choline: helps to support cell membrane structure and is an essential building block for neurotransmitters, in particular: acetylcholine. Acetylcholine helps to tone down the body and tells the body that it's okay to relax. It also supports the body's ability to make good memories and to retain memories.
- Nitro Alert Blend: vanilla, chocolate, yerba mate, spearmint, peppermint, nutmeg and black pepper. These oils are great for digestion, supporting the adrenal system (the 'fight or flight' system that is often turned on too much, especially in the face of constant stress, exposure to computer screens, demanding jobs, etc.), and improving energy levels.
NINGXIA NITRO V. ENERGY DRINKS
Sadly, conventional energy drinks are filled with ingredients that are actually harmful to our health. Energy drinks are widely promoted as products that increase energy and enhance mental alertness and physical performance. Next to multivitamins, energy drinks are the most popular dietary supplement consumed by American teens and young adults!
Energy drinks often contain high amounts of sugar. A single 16-oz. container of an energy drink may contain 54 to 62 grams of added sugar; this exceeds the maximum amount of added sugars recommended for an entire day!
Overall energy drinks are associated with sugar crashes, energy slumps and caffeine withdrawal. Thankfully we have a natural, health-supporting option that works even better!

This superfood is the main source of antioxidants and health-supporting vitamins and minerals and is the key ingredient in NingXia Nitro. Did you know that the NingXia Wolfberry…
