DIY Immune-Boosting Roller Recipe for Moms & Kids
As we head into the chilly months, the arrival of the dreaded “sick” season is on many moms' minds. No one wants to spend these cozy fall and winter days fighting off colds. While we can’t dodge every germ out there, we can take small, proactive steps to help support our immune systems—starting right at home with simple wellness routines!

If you're looking for easy ways to keep you and your little ones feeling strong, this DIY immune-boosting essential oil roller might just be your new best friend. It’s perfect for on-the-go application and can easily become part of your daily wellness routine, alongside good nutrition, staying active, and plenty of rest.

Why Use an Immune-Boosting Roller?

Essential oils like thieves, lemon, and frankincense are known for their natural, immune-supporting properties. When applied topically, they can deliver those benefits directly into your body. And because this roller is gentle and safe for kids (when diluted properly), it’s a practical way to boost immunity for everyone in the family!

DIY Immune Roller Recipe

Here’s a quick recipe for a DIY immune-boosting roller you can easily put together in just a few minutes.


How to Use It

To make the most of your immune-boosting roller, simply apply it to the bottoms of your feet and down the spine. The skin in these areas absorbs the oils quickly, and the feet are great for distributing oils throughout the body.

Apply it in the morning before school drop-offs, after baths, or any time you need a little extra support. You can even throw it in your purse for quick, on-the-go use!

Final Tips

Remember, essential oils can be strong for little ones, so always dilute and test a small patch on their skin first. And while this roller can be a great addition to your wellness routine, pair it with other immune-boosting habits like nutritious meals, plenty of water, and good sleep.

This simple DIY roller is a handy wellness tool for any mom looking to keep her family healthy this season—without too much fuss. Here’s to a season full of health and fewer sniffles!

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
