Ravintsara, Thyme, Niaouli, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus... powerful allies for boosting and reinforcing the immune system.

Between viruses, bacteria and other infections, it's often hard to get through the winter months! And the cold isn't the only culprit: poor diet, lack of sleep, chronic stress and plummeting temperatures can all weaken the immune system. 

Fortunately, the antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties of certain essential oils can help us maintain good health and fight infections effectively.
