Prevention better than cure 03/06/2024
By Kat Lobendahn
The old adage, that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure is true for me with Dr. Foster's Germ Shield. I apply it beneath my nostrils as instructed. It is simply amazing! Great scent and medicinal.

great product but always unavailable 03/18/2023
By Michelle Wells
I love the Germ Shield essential oil. I would swab my nose with it every evening and it kept my sinuses open throughout the night and I didn't wake with the usual stuffiness I struggled with. However, I gave it to my daughter, who also has the same nighttime issue and have not been able to get another bottle for myself. As soon as it's back in stock I will definitely purchase more then one bottle. Great product.
Our responseHi Michelle, so glad it's helped you! I'm so sorry it wasn't available when you wanted it. We had a huge run on this formula during the "worldwide situation" the past couple of years when we were saving lots of lives by combining it with steam and people were ordering it like crazy. We've since re-stocked and we have an abundance of this formula now!

Germ Shield 08/02/2021
By Geoffrey McCabe
I really like the product -- I have had a low grade sinus issue with some post nasal drip - rocking my head back and tapping a few on the back of my throat and a drop or two on each finger for the nostrils helped -- I got a great response alternating with Eucalyptus. I added ATP recently and felt it activated/accelerated it nicely for me, fwiw, and I got over it very quickly -- love back

Germ Blaster 12/04/2020
By Kathleen Virant
Gave it to my daughter before she was flying, used as directed. I also use it under my mask if I have to go in public.
Our responseWonderful - It's a great way to use this essential oil blend! Sometimes people get Germ Blaster (another Dr. Foster's Essentials product) and Germ Shield confused. For anyone reading, this review is about Germ Shield.

Stay healthy throughout flu season 11/23/2015
By Diane Doban
I am taking this every day as a precaution during flu season. I don't believe in flu shots, and feel it is much better to maintain a strong immune system using herbs and vitamins. These formulas are as pure as you can get! Tonic herbs can be taken every day, and I believe the effect is cumulative.

So many uses! Great First aid! 10/27/2015
By STEPHEN SANCHEZ
Wow, what does this not help with. I have used this for so many things. I put this in my quick remedy case. Runny Noses, Minor cuts and insect bites, I used it on a nasty spider bite and I recovered quite well. I have used it on my face for some skin issues. All I know that I will be buying more! Read up on the uses on the site. There is so much this wonder bottle can be used for. A MUST Buy, and a Must USE! Great Stuff!

Excellent Germ Shield Protection 02/25/2015
By Teresa Bradley
I have been using germ shield for the past 9 yrs and I have to say, I am 100% satisfied with this product. I have had maybe 2-3 days that I've caught a cold in those 9 yrs, but other than that, I have not been sick while faithfully using this product. Thank you so much for increasing the size of the bottle.

Helps Balance 10/28/2014
By Jennifer Gray
Immune Valor helps to keep me balanced because when I don't take it, I notice fatigue and breakouts.

Better than Airborne 10/28/2014
By Jennifer Gray
My family uses Germ Shield when traveling and we've always stayed healthy even when everyone else seems to get sick after being on a plane. Plus my husband puts some under his nose before bed to reduce snoring. I definitely notice a difference.

Essential oils for the nose
Essential oils can be
used in the nose
"A must-have item during cold and flu season! Inspired by a long trip to Italy during which Dr. Foster caught a bad cold on the airplane (and no Germ Blaster in sight!).

Using essential oils applied in the nostrils (in the airplane restroom), the congestion drained within 5 minutes, and repeated every 1 to 2 hours afterwards throughout the day, the cold disappeared in 24 hours.

The congestion-relieving properties of eucalyptus are legendary and explains why eucalyptus is such a timeless folk remedy for colds and flus, in addition to the other essential oils in this formula.

Germs on Hand
Hand teeming with germs!
We all need a natural
Hand Sanitizer
Nasal Protectant and Decongesting: Use anytime you have a stuffy nose. Especially good when applied just before boarding an airplane or other public transportation where one will be exposed to large numbers of people (with who knows what kinds of germs lurking on their hands and in their noses!)

For children or sensitive adults: it does not have to be used inside the nostrils (you will feel a strong cooling sensation), but can be applied to soles of feet, chest, upper back or on the upper lip just under the nose.

Hand sanitizer: drip one drop in the palm of hand and rub hands together until the oil disappears.

On the Skin: Disinfect cuts and scrapes, or use on a rash to soothe skin and control itching. I like to use it as a natural deodorant - kills odor-causing bacteria and feels very cooling in the armpits.

Other uses: Another terrific use reported by our customers: applied in the nostrils to halt migraine pain."
