Five Guards for the win, although I prefer to call it 3 Guards and 2 Forwards.
We have used Thieves from YL, Health Shield from Healing Solutions, and Fighting Five from Edens Garden. For me this is the best of them all. Thieves from YL was great, but too expensive for everyday diffusing. I like Health Shield and the price was right, but there was discussion in the reviews of synthetics being used. I don't know if this is true or not, but decided to look for an alternative. Fighting Five was the weakest of the group for me. This Thieves blend is very heavy on cinnamon. I like it. Makes me happy walking into the room. Now does it cure/prevent the flu? Who knows, there are not any legitimate evidence based studies on this (ok let the hating begin). But it makes me feel better and our family hasn't gotten the flu, but we did get flu shots this year (ok let the second hating begin). Smells nice when I walk in the room. So for me the price is right, the product is what I was looking for, and it makes me happy to walk into a room, and we haven't gotten sick during this long winter. So Five Guards for the win, although I prefer to call it 3 Guards and 2 Forwards.
