Five years ago I was a brand new mum trying to support my baby without automatically reaching for big pharma… and if I’m honest, I felt completely vulnerable.
I didn’t know what options existed.
I didn’t know who to trust.
I just knew I wanted another way.
I started with homeopathy. It helped for a while, but something still felt missing, especially when your baby can’t tell you what’s wrong and you’re left guessing.
Then one summer day I watched a video about supporting children more naturally.
She shared loads of immune support ideas… but most couldn’t be used until baby was 1.
Except one thing.
An oil called On Guard.
She talked about using it daily, diffusing it, applying it to tiny feet, even spraying it at the front door 😆
I was intrigued.
I searched everywhere, couldn’t find a UK supplier, refused to risk random oils online… and forgot about it.
Until a few weeks later when I saw someone sharing these same oils again.
This time I stayed curious.
I followed along quietly for months, learning, watching, figuring out if it was actually legit just like so many people do now.
Then just before winter 2021, I ordered my starter kit.
And I still remember the feeling when it arrived.
Excitement.
Relief.
Like I finally had something in my hands instead of anxiety and Google searches.
The day before my son’s first birthday he had his first temperature… and those oils became part of our normal life from that moment on.
Teething.
Coughs.
Skin flare ups.
Sleep struggles.
Big emotions.
Potty training.
Cuts, bumps, all the chaos of childhood.
They’ve been there through all of it.
I honestly still get so excited every single time another mum decides she wants that same confidence for her family because it’s not really about oils.
It’s about not feeling helpless anymore.
If you’ve been quietly wondering whether there’s another way to support your home and family… come have a look around my page or send me a message. I’m always happy to chat.
